Back in early December, openSUSE delayed their elections after failing to find Board Member candidates. The month that followed went just as badly for them. Apparently mass-banning Conservatives isn't a good way to run an Open Source project.

This is a fantastic case study -- a cautionary tale -- in what happens to an Open Source project when they go hard woke.

It sounds like an insane movie plot. But it's real.

In 2016, this was "Lunduke's crazy conspiracy theory about Pokemon Go being used to spy on everyone, backed by the CIA". Now, in 2024, Niantic Labs (the makers of Pokemon Go), proudly brags about using Pokemon Go to spy on you... and using that covertly obtained information to build a massive, 3D artificial intelligence mapping system of private spaces.

"We receive about 1 million fresh scans each week, each containing hundreds of discrete images."

In other words: Lunduke was right.

After 22 days, hackers still have access to sensitive internal systems. Archive.org has been offline for 11 days (and counting), and Internet Archive refused to respond to notifications of being hacked. All immediately following Internet Archive's massive court loss which could destroy them as an organization. And that's just for starters.

Something smells very, very wrong. Did the Internet Archive allow themselves to be hacked? Or... did they actually hack themselves? That's crazy... right? It's not as crazy as it might seem.

Let's go through the timeline of events and look at everything logically.

The nerdy questions asked in today's nerdy show:

How many times over the years have you said to yourself. "Wouldn't it be cool to have a retro gaming cabinet with MAME and a whole bunch of emulators, I can play any game I like on" only to never actually get around to doing the hard work to build a cabinet, set up the software, hardware, input controls etc?

What do you think of Nextcloud and other self-hosted cloud options?

Regarding the wave of hyper-political malevolence making its way through tech over the last 3 years (much of which, you've reported on), having done quite a bit of research and reporting on it, do you have an assessment as to its nature/origin? Do you think it's a fad (albeit a lengthy one)? Or, do you think this is something more endemic, and perhaps permanent?

What are some of your favorite software applications on any platform?

What is a solid laptop and OS choice for a pro videographer that I won't feel gross for using?

Which is the most evil between Snap, Flatpak and AppImage?

The elephant in the tech room is that Windows 10 goes EOL next year. And we all know how windows 11 adoption seems to be going. Considering we seem to have 3 choices: Win 10, switching to Win 11, or switching to Linux. What do you think we will be seeing come this time next year?

For you, how important is the lack of wokeness of a software's company/developers when deciding whether to use it or not? For me it's somewhat important but other factors such as viable alternatives and privacy concerns matter to me as well.

What's the best homebrew console of all time? Most of them do emulation only, but others also have own game SDK

dbase, Clipper or Foxpro?

What is the first Unix (or Unix-like) OS you used at a job? Impressions? Comparisons to systems you use today?

Out of modern hardware, what hardware are you most interested in and why?

With so many projects hell bent on self destruction of one kind or another, what projects are taking steps to protect themselves from hostile take overs? Or what new projects will replace the staples that have started down objectively bad paths (Debian comes to mind as the most recent example)?

Considering you've been banned from numerous Mastodon servers at this point, what's your opinion of NOSTR?

Questions touch on a wide variety of topics, including: Being seen as a "political protest project", preventing a "woke take over" as happened with Godot, feature goals, keeping momentum after the initial excitement dies down, and more.

Secret meetings. No transparency. Total chaos at the GNOME Foundation as they remove Sonny Piers, one of their Board Members, without telling anyone.

What are the goals of "Black Python Devs"? What is the nature of the GNOME Foundation partnership? What would they think of a "White Python Devs" organization? Many, many questions.

While Lunduke & Miller clearly disagree on many points -- the conversation is friendly, frank, and civil. Two men, having a reasonable discussion. Even as the disagreements mount.

First they freaked out, and said a lack of Net Neutrality would kill the Internet. Then they freaked out about the EARN IT act. Now they're convinced KOSA (Kids Online Safety Act) will destroy the Internet. They sure do freak out a lot... and they're wrong just as often.

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! 🤣

openSUSE Linux has a long, rich history -- coupled with a uniquely valuable feature-set.

Unfortunately, serious mismanagement, a lack of vision, terrible messaging, and (worst of all) a policy of deliberate alienation of half the population... has put openSUSE on a bad road.

Here I (a former openSUSE elected Board Member) cover what, specifically, is going wrong with openSUSE... and how I believe it could be not only fixed, but set on a path towards massive success.

Fair warning: There are some politics involved here. But only insofar as it relates to computers and computer manufacturers.

I have so many thoughts on this topic -- it's simply wild how many companies and online services are becoming "AI Platforms".

This may be a little "Inside Baseball"-ish, but I'm pretty psyched about the direction that Rumble and Locals are taking. Their latest announcement of "Rumble Studio" is an absolutely stellar move that is a critical component in moving people away from YouTube.

If you want to hear me ramble about the need for tools like this in the effort to bring down YouTube... this is the episode for you.

You asked me nerdy questions. I provided nerdy answers. That, right there, is nerdy teamwork.
