And, yes. It says “1985” in the date. But, do not be fooled. For it is not actually 1985.

At Microsoft & Red Hat -- and across Big Tech -- many employees are celebrating and encouraging murder. Microsoft has responded... but not Red Hat.
And, yes. The date on the video says 1985. But, no. It's not actually 1985.

Open Source Leftists Celebrate Murder, Censor Conservatives, and say "Free Software is White Supremacy". It's been one of those weeks in the Tech world.

Ads are filling the entirety of the Web -- websites, podcasts, YouTube videos, etc. -- at an increasing rate. Prices for those ad placements are plummeting. Consumers are desperate to use ad-blockers to make the web palatable. Google (and others) are desperate to break and block ad-blockers. All of which results in... more ads and lower pay for creators.
It's a fascinatingly annoying cycle. And there's only one viable way out of it.

Those in power with openSUSE make it clear they will not allow me anywhere near anything related to the openSUSE project. Ever. For any reason.
Well, that settles that, then! Guess I won't be contributing to openSUSE! 🤣

A quick update: There are some new perks for Lunduke Journal subscribers, and an upcoming price increase for new Lifetime Subscriptions (if you want one of those at the lower price, you have a couple days).
All the details below.
This coming Friday (September 19th), the price of a new Lifetime Subscription to The Lunduke Journal will be increasing from $200 to $300. I wanted to give all of you a few days notice so you could grab one at the lower rate.
If you want to pick up a Lifetime Subscription for the lower price, simply grab one (via Locals, Substack, or Bitcoin) by Thursday night (Sep 18th).
The prices for new Yearly and Monthly subscriptions will remain the same. No changes.
Reminder: The Lunduke Journal has phased out sales and discount promotions. The current price of a subscription is the best price.
I am working on adding a few new perks for Lunduke Journal subscribers — a way of saying “Thank You” for making this work possible (while still keeping all of the articles and shows free for the world).
Here are the perks as of today.
Perks for all Subscribers (Monthly, Yearly, and Lifetime):
Access to the 12 DRM-free, PDF eBooks.
Access to the “Linux Tycoon” video games (for Linux, DOS, & Windows).
Access to the exclusive Lunduke Journal Forum.
Note: The eBooks & Games are currently only available on Locals & Substack (due to platform features). Those perks will also become available to subscribers on X, YouTube, & Patreon next week. Stay tuned for access details.
Additional (Optional) Perks only for Lifetime Subscribers:
The Lunduke Journal will follow your account on X.
Your name (real, or internet handle) listed in a special thanks slide at the end of new Lunduke Journal videos.
Both of these perks are 100% optional.
If you are a Lifetime Subscriber, and would like to take advantage of either (or both), simply email “bryan at lunduke.com” with the subject line “Lifetime Perk” (that part is important, I get so many emails this will help me see yours) and include a link to your X profile and/or the way you want your name to appear at the end of videos.
One of the nice parts of having Lunduke Journal follow your X account… is it will make it far easier (and more likely) for me to see your comments.
I am working to expand all of the regular perks (books, etc.) to subscribers across all platforms (which was a little tricky, considering the differences in each platform, but I managed to figure out how to do it) — while adding a few new ones as well.
Nothing crazy, just a way of saying “Thank You”.
Seriously.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your support. The Lunduke Journal is only possible thanks to each and every one of you.

So many stories this week about Leftist Activists, within Open Source and Big Tech, going absolutely insane.
From celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk to censoring Conservatives and even equating Free and Open Source Software with White Supremacy. And there’s more.
What’s truly crazy to me, is that most of these cases of Leftist insanity are from leaders within Open Source. These are the people running projects and representing companies.
Seriously. It’s wild.
Here are the stories of the week, presented in reverse chronological order.
XLibre on OpenBSD, FreeBSD, GhostBSD, NetBSD, & DragonFlyBSD
XLibre Trolls Leftists, Renames FirstScreenPtr() to MasterScreen()
Red Hat Employee Says Free Software is "IT Version of White Supremacy"
All of these links are to Substack (where you can watch the video or listen to the audio podcast) — but all of these stories are available for free on every platform which The Lunduke Journal publishes to. Use whichever platform works for you.
This week I am reminded why The Lunduke Journal is important.
Over the last 7 days, we published 13 stories.
Of those 13 stories only 2 were covered by any other Tech News outlet. Two.
And, in both of those 2 stories, The Lunduke Journal is the only Tech News outlet that covered them accurately — and without a pro-Big-Tech, Left Wing bias.
If we didn’t exist, the other 11 stories wouldn’t get told at all. How crazy is that?
Thankfully the stories are spreading — with people seeing them over 9 million times last month alone.
If you want to be part of making The Lunduke Journal possible, consider becoming a subscriber. Lots of options, big and small. And all go directly towards daily operations.
Monthly or Yearly Subscriptions: Locals, Substack, X, YouTube, or Patreon
Lifetime Subscriptions: Pay Once, For Life (Locals & Substack)
Might I make a suggestion?
The Lifetime Subscription (which counts towards both Substack and Locals — and last for life) is a marvelous, one time, way to show support. And it comes with all of the perks (access to the Locals community as well as the official Lunduke Journal forum, & DRM-free eBooks).
You can snag a Lifetime Subscription via Locals, Substack, or with Bitcoin.
But, heck, any type of subscription (via any platform) is appreciated! Choose whichever works best for you!
Then be sure to go to Lunduke.com and choose the platforms which are the most convenient for you to use — The Lunduke Journal publishes all over the Inter-Tubes!
And, once again, thank you to every subscriber. This work is only possible because of you. You rule.

So far, in 2025, The Lunduke Journal has published 246 shows — being the only Tech News outlet covering the vast majority of those stories.
All without even the slightest influence from Big Tech. No sponsorships, no ad reads, not a penny taken from any company.
And every single story — every article, podcast, & video — is free to share far and wide.
In order for The Lunduke Journal to continue doing this unique work — to keep the lights on well into the future — we need your help.
If you haven’t yet become a subscriber to The Lunduke Journal, doing so today makes a big impact. Pick one of the options below. Big or small. Monthly, Yearly, or Lifetime subscriptions — or even simply one-time donations — all make a huge difference.
Monthly or Yearly Subscriptions:
Locals, Substack, X, YouTube, or Patreon
Lifetime Subscriptions:
Pay Once, For Life (Locals & Substack)
One-Time Donations:
Locals or Bitcoin
Seriously. This is all possible because of you.
We are able to make all of this free to share with the world because of you.
