Now, a lawsuit has been filed against Red Hat, on behalf of Allan Wood, who was a Senior Director at the Linux giant.
That lawsuit alleges significant racial, relgious, and gender discrimination. And, based on what information we currently know about Red Hat's discriminatory policies... his case looks incredibly strong.
We just filed a federal lawsuit against IBM’s subsidiary Red Hat for illegal racial discrimination. IBM has allegedly implemented illegal anti-white and anti-male quotas. We will use every tool to hold IBM accountable:
With our co-counsel, including Barnes Law, we filed a lawsuit on behalf of our client against the International Business Machines Corporation’s (IBM) subsidiary, Red Hat, for violating Civil Rights laws by allegedly engaging in discriminatory employment and termination practices against white males.
Our plaintiff is a white male and was a dutiful Red Hat employee for eight years, rising to the position of Senior Director. He was an exemplary employee who had never received a negative review during his time at Red Hat.
But for the discrimination he faced, he was on the path to becoming one of the top executives at Red Hat…
In 2021, Red Hat began implementing illegal diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) requirements. In accordance with its illegal activities, Red Hat hired a Chief Executive Officer of DEI to spearhead these programs — mandating employee training while implementing employment quotas aimed at achieving diversity goals by illegally treating race as a dispositive factor for employment and advancement.
On several occasions, managers and executives at Red Hat commented to our plaintiff and other employees expressing their dismay at the lack of diversity in the workforce and their desire to achieve certain workforce quotas based on race and gender. Red Hat executives indicated that these DEI initiatives would influence certain hiring and employment decisions.
Our plaintiff was vocal about his opposition to these discriminatory policies and continuously advocated for hiring based on merit and skill rather than other immutable characteristics.
Red Hat made express statements, both vocally and in writing at company events, that were derogatory towards white individuals and presented an anti-white agenda. Red Hat also remarked on the low number of women employed and expressed anti-male rhetoric. Red Hat made it clear that it was going to implement heightened DEI policies, with the sole intent of increasing diversity.
Red Hat has made it clear that it is in favor of discriminatory policies that the Supreme Court has found unconstitutional.
In the case of Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) v. Harvard, decided together with SFFA v. University of North Carolina, Red Hat, along with 70 other corporations, filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in support of affirmative action:
At a kickoff event in Texas, Red Hat brazenly announced its “Bold DEI Goals,” which included quotas.
Red Hat sought to remake its workforce demographic, seeking to reach 30% women globally and 30% associates of color in the United States by 2028.
Just two weeks after this announcement, our plaintiff was informed by his manager that his role was being eliminated following several months of discriminatory treatment.
Upon information and belief, 21 of the total 22 individuals were white males.
Last year, James O'Keefereleased a recording of IBM Chief Executive Officer and Board Chairman Arvind Krishna promising to fire, demote, or deny bonuses to corporate executives who fail to meet the corporation’s racial, national origin, and sex-based hiring quotas or hire too many Asian individuals.
Following this shocking footage, we filed a federal civil rights complaint with the EEOC against IBM for alleged racial and sex discrimination.
We also wrote to IBM’s Board of Directors, demanding an end to the corporation’s systemic violations of law to prevent the waste of corporate assets and harm to shareholders.
Today, we are proud to file this lawsuit to continue to fight corporate America’s destructive, illegal, and odious use of illegal DEI initiatives that are fundamentally anti-white, anti-male, and anti-equality.
GNOME Dishonestly Uses LibXML2 Support as Fundraising Tactic
The GNOME Foundation is using claimed financial support of LibXML2 as a reason people should donate to GNOME. Only one problem: The LibXML2 dev was forced to abandon the project due to lack of support from GNOME.
Torvalds: Software Freedom Conservancy "is just pure trash"
Following his criticism of their lawsuit against Vizio, the Linux creator says the Software Freedom Conservancy "is trying to further an agenda", & "is a racket, plain and simple".
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.
Hey y’all, long time no see. I was thinking about something yesterday that really kind of confused me.
The Librem 5 still exists, it still costs $800, and it still has specs from 10 years ago. What the heckity heck is up with that?
Like I understand that there’s more to experience than specs, but these things have got to cost so, so much less to manufacture at this point. What is Purism doing? They just released their first video in a year about a week ago, and it was to announce a thrilling new feature to the 5-ish year old device: a sound recorder. What???
I have been diving down the rabbit hole of dumb phones, and I thought the Librem 5 might be a happy medium in that it would introduce enough friction between me and the attention-sucking apps, but at $800??? And they’re still selling the promise of “continuity” or whatever they call the ability to dock the phone and use it as a computer? I’m just confused.
Does anybody have any insight here? Am I missing something? Is ...
Of those 10 stories… 4 of them were not reported on by any other major Tech News outlets. And 3 of the other stories were first reported by The Lunduke Journal (and then picked up by other journalists).
While we don’t know the current exact viewership numbers of the other major Tech Journalists out there, based on all available numbers it would appear that these are among the most viewed Tech News stories from any publisher.
Period.
Which means that this list of “Top Tech News of 2025” is about as close to definitive as we’re likely to get.
While we’re at it, for the sake of massive transparency, here are detailed statistics for The Lunduke Journal for last month. (Something the other big Tech News outlets would be terrified to reveal.)
Lunduke Journal Stats for December
Here’s some Lunduke Journal stats for December, 2025:
14.9 Million views (or listens) during the last month (December).
151,224 free subscribers (not including audio podcast feeds).
2,196 new free subscribers on the primary platforms.
342 shows, in total, in 2025.
$0.00 (zero) taken from any corporation.
December is, typically, the most quiet month for Tech Journalism. Fewer big stories. Lots of people on vacation. “View” numbers are, almost always, significantly lower than a typical month.
Despite that, The Lunduke Journal had a pretty stellar month in December of 2025. Second biggest month of the year (only slightly behind the previous month, which set multiple records), clocking in at just shy of 15 million “views”.
I’ll take it.
Total Free Subscribers also saw pretty decent growth, considering it was December (“the quiet month”), of over 2,000 new subscribers. Now topping 150,000.
A huge thank you, as always, to the amazing subscribers to The Lunduke Journal.
There are some options. For both subscribing and donating. They're all on this page.
Bonus: At the bottom of this page you will find the invite link to the super-secret Lunduke Journal Discord Chat Server. This is only available for full subscribers, which makes it a nice place to hang out. No riff-raff.
