Pasted the text here so no need to visit r*ddit.
The text covered well for the software related history of Gates, but let’s also not forget the not-so-far past. Dealings with Epstein (which led to divorce with Melinda, sus?) and helping monopolize COVID vaccines come to mind first
Bill Gates *has*, in fact, earned himself the "evil CEO" stereotype in the past. [Microsoft was a notorious monopoly](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Microsoft) throughout the 1990s. It was even convicted of anti-trust violation in both the US and EU; both times it paid the fine and went on being a monopoly anyway. Their OEM agreements with hardware vendors actually made it difficult to impossible to get any other operating system onto a PC.
When we talk about "altruism and sustainability" applied to software, most of us should be thinking about Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). Starting all the way back in the 1970s with his "[open letter to hobbyists](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Open_Letter_to_Hobbyists)," Gates carried out a decades-long vendetta against all open source software anywhere. This went beyond all common business sense into "now you're just being a dick" territory. See also the pack of frivolous lawsuits Microsoft pressed against the FOSS community and Steve Ballmer referring to FOSS as a "cancer."
Generally, Bill Gates was to nerds what Joe McCarthy was to Socialists for a few decades. So he burned some very heavy bridges, even among his peers in the tech community. And BTW, Gates was born wealthy and managed to muscle Microsoft Windows onto IBM merely through family connections.
NOW, in the present day, Gates has separated himself from all that and become a legendary altruist, especially contributing to fight diseases through the Gates' Foundation. Some might even say he redeemed himself. Microsoft itself buried the open source hatchet finally; partly because the desktop market is now sinking out from under them while Google has taken its place as the monopoly heavyweight.
Anyway, the above is an attempt to provide some context, nothing more. I know that a portion of the public will always say "billionaire = bad!" no matter what. But it's not like you can say Gates did nothing wrong.
Elon, Bezos, Gates and Trump would make a great crew
I’ve enjoyed banana-peanutbutter smoothies past year. They’re just so good, either oat milk or the regular
Those wouldn’t be liquids but solids, no?
But I respect the effort in bringing up a stupidly extreme theoretical situation that you’d never encounter in your kitchen
Why not just block access to Teams and other m365 apps via conditional access from non-managed devices then?
You can always “download” any content you’re viewing on the device, in fact you need to do so in order to view it.
Say, you don’t want a word document containing price sensitive information being downloaded, but someone with access to view the document on a non-managed device can just screenshot it. Or to be honest, just take a photo from a screen of a managed device.
Yep, only liquids should be measured in volume, since liquids do not compress
It’s all the same to me
Yeah. I do agree with vegans in that humans should transition to a diet that’s more sustainable and removes the animal suffering from the equation - and I do put in some effort to reduce my use of animal based products but: god damnit some people of that community are some seriously insufferable people to converse with
Not the tires alone, but also the weight and 4 wheel drive. Model 3 weights some 2 metric tons, it adds a lot into traction
Fucking finally, it’s so stupid having to wait them download 1-by-1
Hope Aurora can use the parallel downloads
And when will they release ‘Hooker’?
You won’t believe how often I search for a problem only to find 50 "Thank you"s for a deleted comment.
That just means it’s working. It causes people to search info elsewhere
Significant Other ie. fiancé/girlfriend/boy friend/wife/husband/whatever you call the other person you live with, and are in love with
You’re going to far. 0% of any sum is 0
Wtf is this poster lmao
This movie just came out couple years ago? I even bought the DVD!
That there’s a loving God.
Now it seems clear that even if he did exist, he’s just above average asshole
