Microsoft executives encourage employees to commit felonies... and then they get promoted.
(Including Hate Crimes, and criminal sexualization & sterilization of minors)

Recently, we learned some incredibly troubling things about Microsoft

Namely that the Redmond software giant:

  1. Encouraged employees to "transition" their children -- as young as 3 years old -- to different genders.
  2. Implemented a non-optional health plan which specifically covers "gender affirming care" for small children.
  3. Supports removing "age restrictions for gender-affirming treatments for children under 18".

Let's put aside -- just for a moment -- any personal opinions we may have about the idea of "gender transitioning for toddlers".  Because, regardless of our own feelings on the topic... it remains, in the United States, illegal.

In fact, 22 states have passed laws which reinforce the fact that "gender transitioning" of minors is a crime.

Which brings us to a question worth pondering:  How could Microsoft -- a company with a quarter of a million employees (across all 50 states) -- actively encourage blatant, criminal activity?

Any functional Human Resources department would put a stop to that.  The same goes for executives, board members, or internal legal teams.  Any company advocating for their employees to commit crimes (regardless of our personal opinions on said crimes) is heading for disaster.

That is, quite simply, obvious.

So how on Earth is this happening?  Is no manager, executive, board member, or part of the HR team objecting to this?  Is the Microsoft management team really pushing for criminal activity?

Well buckle up, buttercup.  Because it turns out that at least one Microsoft executive has been publicly advocating for people to commit crimes (in general) for years.

And the Microsoft HR team has not only allowed it... but promoted him.

The VP who calls for criminal activity

Over the years, Microsoft Vice President Scott Hanselman has publicly encouraged people (including Microsoft employees) to commit crimes in the name of "Diversity".

Which is an incredibly vague thing to say.  "What crimes, exactly?  Just crimes... in general?!"

Yes.  In general.  Just any... "Crimes".  Seriously.  It's strange, I know.

Case in point, back in 2018, this Microsoft VP (then an upper level manager) gave a keynote presentation where he encouraged people to commit criminal activity -- specifically against white people and men.

During that keynote, Hanselman made the point that it is not enough to be an "ally"... that one must be willing to be an "accomplice".  Saying, specifically, "Accomplices will go to jail with you."

Just to be sure there was no confusion about what he was encouraging -- he created a slide which read, "To create an inclusive tech environment we need accomplices more than allies."

Source: Twitter

I happened to be in the audience on that particular day -- where Hanselman repeated, multiple times, the need for people to be ready to "go to jail", to be an "accomplice", and to "commit crimes"... against white males, specifically.

No ambiguity.  Not a joke.  A serious request for Microsoft employees (and other tech tech workers in attendance) to commit crimes against people based on ethnicity and gender.

Just so we're all on the same page, here's the definition of "accomplice":

Accomplice. Noun.

 

A person who knowingly helps another in a crime or wrongdoing, often as a subordinate.

 

Example: “an accomplice in the murder”

This singular keynote -- where Hanselman was representing Microsoft -- was not an anomaly.  This is a message that Hanselman has pushed for years.  Including on Microsoft corporate podcasts, where he said the following:

"And even that term ally is loaded.  I think of it more as like, Advocate.  Or maybe when appropriate, accomplice.  You know what I mean?  How far are you willing to take this?  You know what I mean?"

Be an "accomplice."  "How far are you willing to take this."  "Crime."  "Willing to go to jail."

Vague, to be sure.  But encouraging employees to commit crimes -- even vague crimes -- is something which HR departments (and executives) tend to frown upon.  Especially when it is done so in a publicly visible way.

So how did the executive team and HR department at Microsoft respond to these calls for criminal activity (towards individuals based entirely on race and gender... which veers into "Hate Crime" territory)?

They rewarded him with a promotion.  They made him a Vice President.

What does this tell us?

While this is merely one example of a Microsoft executive... there is quite a lot we can learn from this (when combined with previous revelations) regarding what is going on within the company:

  1. The Human Resources department within Microsoft either actively supports (at least some instances of) encouraging criminal activity... or they are unable (or unwilling) to stop them.
  2. The executive team at Microsoft must, at least in part, support the idea of employees committing criminal acts.
  3. As of this moment, Microsoft executives and management have actively encouraged Microsoft employees to commit:
    1. "Hate crimes" against White people or men.
    2. Criminal "Gender Affirming Care" of minors (as young as 3 years old).

These are extreme actions, on the part of Microsoft.  A pattern of encouraging employees to commit felonies (an act which, itself, is criminal).  All well documented and irrefutable.

What's more, this provides a glimpse of the upper management organization within Microsoft: including their priorities... and determination push certain causes (including "Diversity" and sex changes for toddlers).

In the words of one Microsoft Vice President, "How far are you willing to take this?  You know what I mean?"

The Lunduke Journal has repeatedly reached out to representatives of Microsoft for comment.

To date, no response has been given.

If Microsoft responds, The Lunduke Journal will publish that response in full.


The Lunduke Journal will continue publishing material -- including additional leaks from whistleblowers -- exposing the actions of Microsoft (and other Big Tech firms).

If you work for Microsoft (or another Tech firm), and have inside information that you feel should be shared with the public, here are instructions on how to anonymously become a whistleblower. The Lunduke Journal will always keep your identity confidential.

Thank you to the whistleblowers who have come forward so far -- and thank you to the supporters of The Lunduke Journal for making this work possible.

The Commodore Smartphone Blocks Social Media & Browsers

An official Commodore flip phone. Which runs Android. But purposefully blocks Web Browsers and Social Media Apps. And disabled Touchscreen. For $550. Seriously.

And, yes. I misspelled "smartphone" in the title. Typing is hard.

The futility of Ad-Blockers

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.

openSUSE says "No Lunduke allowed!"

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! 🤣

Anthropic Mistakes Sideline Fable 5

I’m generally game for a “government is over reaching story” as it’s true often enough. The recent demand by the US Government that Anthropic prevent foreign nationals from accessing this model, no matter where they are or who they work for - seems on first blush like over reach. It would mean that some of Anthropic’s own staff couldn’t use the model. Not having a way to determine who is a foreign national. Anthropic took the model down for everyone. Bad US government.

Or

Anthropic tells the whole world that their new model Mythos is SO powerful, that it’s a threat to the world for both cyber security and bio weapons. Now, I respect it’s the most powerful model to date, but the marketing hype was definitely part of the intention. They formed Glasswing, their limited member club of companies with access to Mythos for the purpose of getting their software patched before the world has easy access to find vulnerabilities. They didn’t ...

Lunduke's Week in Tech : June 7 - June 13, 2026

It has been, yet another, weird and wild week in the world of Tech and Open Source.

Filled with awesome and inspiring stories (Linux logos on Race cars!)… mixed with bizarre, Woke politics and concerning technical news.

And, as usual, all but one of the big stories this week were completely ignored by the other of the Tech News outlets.

Here are the major stories from the last week, with direct links to X and Substack. You can also watch / listen on a bunch of other platforms (Rumble, RSS Audio Podcast, etc.), listed on Lunduke.com.

  • Rust-Based Malware Hits 1.4% of Arch User Repository (X, Substack)

  • Godot Game Engine Promotes Extreme, Pro-Trans "Pronoun Palace" Game (X, Substack)

  • GNOME in Damage Control Mode After Revelations from Ex Board Member (X, Substack)

  • Proton Mail Apologizes for Sponsoring "Far Right French YouTuber" (X, Substack)

TempleOS arrives on The Lunduke Journal Lifetime Wall

“When are you going to add a TempleOS Lifetime Wall??!”

I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve received that request over the last few weeks. Well. What the heck! Why not?

There are now three Lunduke Journal Lifetime Subscriber Walls (displayed both on Lunduke.com and the end of all new shows) with space available:

  • Macintosh System 1

  • Windows 2000

  • TempleOS

 

A few quick notes:

  1. The Windows 2000 Wall, which was introduced only 2 days ago, is already about half way full. At the current rate, that one will likely be full by the end of the week. Still plenty of space on the Mac System 1 Wall.

  2. The discount on Lifetime Subscriptions ($125… discounted from the normal $300) runs through the end of June.

  3. One Lifetime Subscription = Name Listed on One Wall. These Walls are crazy popular and fill up super fast, so I have to put that limit in place.

  4. Want your name on more than one Lifetime Wall? Grab a second Lifetime Subscription (use the discounted rate) and you can have your name added to one of the Walls with space still available.

Massive high five to everyone who has supported The Lunduke Journal and made these retro-computer Lifetime Walls so much fun to do!
