I made the mistake of posting I am enjoying Starfleet Academy on X. Wondering what the response will be here. I’m “enjoying” the show but won’t make a definitive statement of the show until the first season is done. x.com/brandonlebla...

That is definitely not ok. That is betrayal right there.

I met you briefly during the Save Enterprise campaign outside Paramount I think in 2004 and I’m keen to see you come back to Star Trek and love your WGA strike sign.

I apologize as I accidentally ended that post with a question mark... 😬

They did offer them for employees not just Windows in the employee store. That’s how got them?

Yes, I am taking on a new role within the Windows and Devices group here at @microsoft.com focusing on communications. I won't be as visible as I have been all these years but you'll still see me posting about Microsoft, Windows, and nerdy things of course.

Happy 20th birthday to Techmeme. This has been my go-to for tech industry news for most of that time and one of the homepages that opens whenever I launch my browser (Edge of course). I’ve also been featured on Techmeme for blog posts I’ve written which is always fun.

I believe this was resolved. If you’re still having issues let me know.

That's fine but when you have to post screenshots from "over there" all the time, it's a bit silly. I don't come here to see what's being posted "over there" otherwise I'd just be "over there".

Brandon LeBlanc @brandonleblanc.bsky.social · 19/07/2025

I hate coming here and seeing screenshots of tweets/posts from X. It feels silly. Why be here if all people share are screenshots from the "other place".

I can't be at SDCC this year but I'll be buying a copy of this.

What a time to be alive. However. If Microsoft wants to charge me for bacon at some offsite or event - I'll gladly pay. That's some good bacon.

If tech companies truly valued their employees and wanted to retain talent they would, I don't know, maybe find ways to not do layoffs?

This doesn't match what my friends who live in Los Angeles are saying. Yes, there is a "dispute" between California and the federal government but its the "fiery protests" mentioned that doesn't quite seem to be what others are saying...

But this is just someone's "opinion" that Bluesky is on a decline, right? I see reports in a lot of places of increased engagement and traffic from Bluesky. Sadly though, my observations are that most significant engagement still happens on X.
