Last week at The Lunduke Journal (July 28 - Aug 3, 2024)

GNOME Bans Saying "Lunduke". WINE Fixes AOL for Win 3.1 (Seriously). Python 71x Slower Than C.

I'll say this for "last week"... it was really freaking bizarre.  I mean, shoot.  GNOME made an official policy where they ban anyone who links to me.  First offense, no warnings!  Crazy!  Literally an official policy of punishing their own GNOME team members and users for reading a specific Tech Journalist.

Has that ever happened before?  I think... I think it's a first.

I'll be honest with ya: That was not on my 2024 Bingo card.  🤣

We also talked about a bunch of nerdy things this week.  Programming language benchmarks.  WINE fixing Windows 3.1 software bugs (neat!).  And a whole Q & A.  Good times.
