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

No major kernel decisions were made,” jokes Russinovich in a post on LinkedIn.
Man, wouldn't that be wild, though?

Bill announces a collaboration between the two, starting with an open source implementation of BOB and Clippy AI for Linux....

Maybe I'm wrong, but isn't Gates retired? And I have no idea if Torvalds is still active.
But historical photo aside, isn't this meeting a bunch of nothing?

without checking, Gates’ wealth is probably tied up in a lot of MS stock, and he could probably walk into the office and ask the intern to get him a coffee. but yeah i think mostly retired.
Linus is still active is maintaining the Linux kernel.
and yes, this is fluff, not some kind of summit

Torvalds is still very active on the Linux kernel. As far as I know, he's in charge of it and makes major decisions about its direction.
Bill Gates retired from Microsoft in 2008.

Gates is still very active in his charity organization

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

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

Making money/influence. It's such a scam his "Bill and Melinda Charity" (no taxes on charities).

Missing the opportunity for a legit decent LinkedIn post?
I dunno. Tempting…

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

We can point out how bullshit the charity system is in the US while also acknowledging that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has done some good

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?

True, if anything he has less of a chance of getting a coffee at the MS office because the coffee machines will be out of order... "Kindly I'm Sorry sirs its on windows"

Nope. And I sure as hell don’t white wash Bill Gates. You don’t get to that level of wealth and dominance without cracking skulls and ruining lives every step of the way. He is not a good person. But the foundation has done some good work. Surely this isn’t too nuanced for you to understand?
Edit: no clue why it automatically capitalized wash
