The account @msittechnews.bsky.social is up and running if you want a feed of all the Techcommunity.microsoft.com and Azure news on Bluesky.
I'm quite confident I'm completely done with interacting on social media now - both X and Bluesky. Life for me has moved on. Ping me on LinkedIn as I actively check that.

Last week, I had a worrying SMS that many of us have received - my bank was asking if a transaction on my card was one that I had done, as it may have been fraudulent. My first reaction was to question if it was a legitimate SMS or not - but after logging onto my bank's app and checking, I could see the transaction and alert.

I haven't been around for a bit, having a break from social media (LinkedIn a bit still though).
I'm back at Microsoft now and having fun.. I'll still respond to mentions and DMs.
Take care all!

Another factor on this is that Y2K was very easy to test for. Change the date and see what happens. It's how a lot of medical issues get solved - when the test (or remediation/prevention) is easy to do.
Because it's come up recently, a reminder that the Y2K bug wasn't overhyped. It was a huge problem and an huge number of people worked fast and hard and fixed it. Like the ozone hole.
It's not a lesson in overhype. It's a lesson in humankind's ability to cooperatively solve problems.
