In my case, the abrahamic one. Narcissistic asshole

That there’s a loving God.

Now it seems clear that even if he did exist, he’s just above average asshole

They’re going to use AI to train AI*

So nothing new here

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 don’t really understand the point behind this. True, a hobby can become your main income but it’s the individuals own choice to pursue it over whatever work they’ve been doing before?

There’s shorter queue here for his mom

I’ve enjoyed banana-peanutbutter smoothies past year. They’re just so good, either oat milk or the regular

I’m using debian btw

There really should be a community for “Weird america” or something.

I live in Europe, and I donate blood because it’s the fucking right thing to do. Everyone knows someone whose life was saved by a random donor, and every time you donate blood you’re saving someone’s life.

Like there’s literally no reason to not donate it if your body allows it

You’d still be moving some 30km/s around the sun, and need to decelerate from that speed.

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.

Nice

You keep saying this but it still doesn’t make any sense. 50% heat would be average middle of the pack nice? And “as hot as normal person can tolerate” is full of shit because neither you or I have no concept of what “normal person can tolerate”, as the normal depends on your geography. And this is quite a good reason why claiming “Fahrenheit is how human feels” is just idiotic as it relies both on a specific climate and having learned that scale growing up.

I swear you Americans can get so fucking stupid on this topic, it’s like claiming that Finnish is the most intuitive language because it’s the language of how love (average love, excluding outliers obviously) feels

Lmao your sauna is not clearing 100C, that’s well past the point at which saunas can become hazardous to your health. If you genuinely run your sauna that hot then start looking into competitions because you’re gonna blow all those professionals out of the water.

In International Sauna Championships the sauna was heated to 110°C. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Sauna_Championships?wprov=sfla1

Dry sauna at 100°C is not terribly hot feeling, but then again I don’t like dry sauna. In those competitions the sauna was NOT dry, but water thrown onto the rocks every 30sec. That’s actual hell to be in

Also, all you’ve done is list a bunch of understandings about Celsius that depend entirely on experience and prior knowledge.

Exactly. Because that is required to understand what the numbers mean. Congratulations for understanding what I said while completely missing the point

But I can say to someone unfamiliar with either system “Fahrenheit is a 0-100 scale of hot how it is outside” and they know almost everything they need to know about fahrenheit.

Fahrenheit is none of that. It requires prior knowledge and understanding where the scale lies. By your logic, 50°F should be perfectly nice ambient temperature, but in reality it’s plenty cold enough for hypothermia

Okay so you’re making lot of weird assumptions here. I don’t know how hot weather 37°C feels, other than that for me 30+ is absolute hell. I’ve never experienced heatwave that bad for what I remember. Hottest summer days here are just about 30°C, and it’s miserable.

Reference point means that I’m able to easily understand what that temperature is.

I can easily understand 100°C though, sauna is getting too hot and I should open window and chill down with feeding the fire.
For 0-30 I can easily understand how I should dress outside, and 0°C is easy to understand because just above it and I know it’s going to be wet and slippery if there was negatives before it, and below 0 is slippery if there was positives earlier.

What is intuitive to you is totally a subjective experience based on your earlier experiences and what you’re used to use to measure temperatures.

You really don’t understand what reference points are. The scale is useless without reference points, and I’m not accustomed to them while I have very clear ones for Celsius.

Sure I can understand that 100F feels very hot, but if I was outside in that temperature I couldn’t tell you an estimate in Fahrenheit how hot it feels

Oops you’re right. I just converted 1°C to kelvin and brain farted

That would make sense, bulletproofing your standard before the bulletproofing technology catches up.
