📢 Announcement: I’ve decided to pause and take a break from work to spend some much needed time with family. I’ll try to get back to blogging and (virtual) speaking this year, now that I’ll have some free time to pursue my passions. Stay tuned for more info! :)

@beth_panx I’m optimistic! Worked for microsoft for about a decade, worked with windows dev tools for double that, and used windows for triple that. So I’m super excited to see the new improvements!

This thread makes me happy. Still a long ways to go but we need to keep the community and customers along the journey with us. #windev

@pamanes7 @James_M_South Scott is our hero who will be one of the leaders to make this happen with the proper team members!

@James_M_South Exactly, who is their Linus to their Git, ;)

I just cannot believe that Windows is going to improve in any meaningful way. Where is this new design and development talent coming from to do this? Where are the managers coming from to deliver it?

@DevLeaderCa Also: Because they knew how to REST.

Why was the OOP programmer always calm? … .. . They were always able to compose themself.

@JenMsft Thank you. You’re the best, Jen! 👍

We do listen, you know 😊 Looking forward to what's to come! Please continue sharing feedback 💙

BREAKING: Microsoft just announced several major changes to Windows 11 in an effort to win back user trust and evolve the platform into something people will actually want to use over macOS and Linux! It's a huge announcement that addresses Windows 11's biggest problems today, tackling core fundamental issues such as unreliable system performance, UX consistency, AI bloat and general enshittification. Microsoft has confirmed that this year, it WILL be reducing where ads and Copilot appear throughout the system, including in Start, Widgets, Notepad, Photos, and more! File Explorer and Windows Search will be upgraded with improved performance and capabilities that make finding apps and files much faster and easier. The OS will become lighter with less RAM and system utilization at idle, making it smoother to run on low end hardware with limited memory. These improvements will also benefit high-end PCs too. Windows Update will be improved with more granular controls and the ability to postpone updates for longer, along with reducing how often the OS needs to restart to install an update. Microsoft has also confirmed that it's bringing back fan favourite features such as the ability to move the Taskbar! It's also working to update more areas of the system shell with modern WinUI designs, which should make Windows 11 feel more coherent and complete. There's much more in the announcement, and it honestly all sounds too good to be true. Microsoft really is listening to feedback, and is eager to make Windows the BEST desktop OS on the market. More details including when these changes will arrive in the link! windowscentral.com/microsoft/wind…

@ManaByte @lpowell092020 ProjectHailMaryFullMovieWithSpidermanBrandNewDay2026Trailer.mp4

@lpowell092020 Usually the trailers are included with the movie files. That’s how the Doomsday trailers leaked with Avatar.

The first public screenings of Project Hail Mary begin tonight (preview screenings Friday-Sun, Prime screening on Monday). If the Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer is with it, expect leaks.

@engineering_bae 👍

Third best Indiana Jones movie: Raiders of the Lost Ark The Last Crusade Dial of Destiny Temple of Doom Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

@heavyspoilers Time travel! (Play Shadow of Destiny on PS2)

I don’t understand how you die in a flashback in a game though

@JenMsft Pretty sure that’s part of the subplot in Batman Forever when Nicole Kidman summons Batman with the bat signal

True love is warning someone before you turn on the light

@DavidGiard Do I need to watch Juror #1 before watching Juror #2?

Tonight, I watched "Small Things Like These" and "Juror #2" - 2 movies that dealt with moral conflict between doing what is right and doing what is best for one's family. Both were good, but "Small Things" was much better. It is a slow burn, but very powerful.

@thepamelajoan @grok I’m seeing the same thing this week. Looks like @grok is wrong about this. I think X now uses system settings only.

@grok Hello @grok I’m afraid or doesn’t show. Please see image attached.

Hey @grok has the dark mode been opted out of X ? I can’t find dark mode settings since the update

@KaineRich2555 @letthedeviIout Spider-Man Brand New Day will return after Avengers Doomsday
