Gates could probably walk into most offices and get a free coffee and an impromptu meeting with the CEO if he wants to.

Their pr firm seems to function very well at least.

Guess you're going to whitewash bezos, musk and zuckerberg next?

Edit: lot of free work done for the magnificent mr Gates and his tax avoiding fundation. Do you think you'll get some crumbles from the rich mans table?

Bill Gates and Linus Torvalds have apparently never met in person before, despite their pseudo-rivalry.

it could be the year

Still cool though. Also I think Bill has more money.

the ends don't justify the means.

Hitler experimented on hundreds of thousands of Jews and the medical world benefited from it greatly.

does that mean you're going to nuance the Nazi regime because they "did some good"?

no amount of good is worth the ounce of evil used to make it.

edit: if the ends justify the means, where do you draw the line? how many lives must suffer in order for the goal to be achieved? 1 life? 10? 1 million?

and to those of you claiming Godwin's law, I used it as an example. I don't think Bill Gates is Hitler, I never even said anything like that. we could easily use the Tuskegee Airmen and the US Department of Health. How many of those families had to suffer to make the ends justified in your opinion.

IMO none. there is no amount of loss of life that is acceptance for any means. life is precious and unique and deserves to be protected.

edit 2: I didn't realize humanity sold out their morals and ethics for the "greater good". my mistake thinking we were better than that. sorry.

It's still giving money away though? Why would you want there to be taxes on charity?

Gay (kernel) panic

Clippy!

Bill Gates and Linus Torvalds have apparently never met in person before, despite their pseudo-rivalry.

Now powered by Copilot!

So, which one of them heard boss music?

Linus looks old now

I guess that's how time works but still...

Could they have met in a better place than in front of a Jotnar's pubes
