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 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! 🤣

The governor of New York has signed an executive order to suspect the construction of new large data centers.

Hochul’s order halts the construction and expansion of data centers for up to a year while state regulators develop standards to address the energy demand, environmental impacts, and water usage of hyperscale data centers.
The statewide moratorium applies to data centers that use 50 megawatts or more of energy.  The governor’s order came after the state Legislature passed a bill in June to pause construction of data centers that use 20 megawatts or more.

Some age verification commentary... I wonder if the question, Who is it enforced against? will ever be answer (the guy seems to imply it is commercial distributors, for the Cal law)
Anyway, it will be interesting to double check and revisit where things are.

I have an HP Vectra 486. I'm trying to figure out a HDD situation.
I received the computer in a bootable state but no sound card, CD-ROM, or working floppy. But it had a NIC that was configured to connect to the previous owners SMB which is how he used the system. He was using an IDE to SD adapter.
I, like an idiot, popped the 512mb SD card into my linux computer to copy over a bunch of games, SB drivers, and CD drivers. But when I put it back in, the SD card was totally corrupt.
That sent me down a rabbit hole of trying to build a new SD card that could boot and for the life of me, I totally failed. I couldn't get any SD card to boot. So I replaced the IDE to SD with IDE to CF. I replaced the floppy drive and added my SB and a CD-ROM all at the same time but the only CF cards I had were 2GB.
Now, it should be noted, gparted stinks with FAT 16. It doesn't format it correctly.
I put the CF card in the system, booted to a DOS install disk and was able to format the card with a single 512mb ...

TRS-80 Model 100 joins The Lunduke Journal Lifetime Wall party!

Buckle up, Buttercup. Because The Lunduke Journal is about to blow your mind.

  1. The “BeOS” Wall Lifetime Subscriber Wall is now full (see all of them on Lunduke.com)!

  2. We’ve added a new “TRS-80 Model 100” Wall (because we can)! That’s the 19th Lifetime Subscriber Wall! 19!

  3. The discounted Lifetime Lunduke Journal Subscriptions are still available through to the end of this month (July).

Which means there are, as of this exact moment, 4 Walls with space available (see Lunduke.com for the full list of Walls). But these fill up wicked fast.

  1. Emacs (only a few spots left)

  2. Desqview/X (a little less than 2/3rd’s full)

  3. NeXTStep (still plenty of space)

  4. TRS-80 Model 100 (just launched)

 

Nice, right?

Worth noting: The “TRS-80 Model 100” has very limited screen resolution (240 x 64), which means only a small number of names can fit on that wall. If you want on it, I’d let me know right away.

Grab a discounted Lifetime Subscription (if you don’t already have one), then let me know (email “bryan at lunduke.com”) which Wall you’d like to see your name on.

Huge high five to everyone who has already added their name to a Wall. At the current rate, we’ll have over 20 retro computer themed walls, filled with all of your names, by the end of the month.

And, doggone it, that’s amazing.

Vim beats Emacs!

Well, we’ve done it.

We’ve answered the eternal question: “Which Lunduke Journal Lifetime Subscriber Wall would fill with names quicker? Emacs or Vim?”

The answer, it turns out, is “Vim”. And it takes just 8 days.

 

A hearty “Thank You” to everyone who supports The Lunduke Journal by getting Lifetime Subscriptions (massively discounted throughout July) and getting on these walls! You make all of this possible!

Now. How long will it take for Emacs to fill up (matching the same number of names as the Vim Wall)?

Well, right now the Emacs Wall is a hair over 2/3rds of the way full. So we’ll find out!

Welcome NeXTStep Wall!

With the closing of the “Vim” Wall (and the BeOS Wall only having the space for 1 name left), now seemed like a good time to add a new retro computer wall: The NeXTStep 1.0 Wall.

Right now, there are 4 Walls available to add your name to (*cough* massive discount *cough*).

  • NeXTStep (just opened)

  • Emacs (about 2/3rds full)

  • BeOS R5 (1 spot left)

  • Desqview/X (1/2 full)

 

Once again, huge thanks to everyone who supports The Lunduke Journal!
