Bill Gates met Linus Torvalds for the first time.
One built an empire by selling software.
The other built a revolution by giving it away.

> Bill Gates met Linus Torvalds for the first time.

Oh really? The faces of the two most relevant operating systems haven't met in all the decades?
crazy!

@osi What cool dinner conversation did they have? Did Bill tell Linus about the time he talked Oxford out of open sourcing their COVID-19 vaccine? Or maybe Bill apologized for the Halloween documents or Balmer’s “FOSS is communism” FUD?

I mean FOSS kinda is communism, the US-american communism propaganda is just crazy and sick on another level

@osi @hen I’m personally down with talking about FOSS maintainership as an anarcho-communist pursuit, but I also self identify as anti-capitalist. Hopefully this toot won’t get me detained the next time I cross the US border.

Gates got the final laugh in. He sent Lennart Poettering to destroy, and he destroyed, then returned to the mothership.

But now LInux grows like a tumour within Windows ... and everyone knows Azure is a joke.

Bwahahahahahaharrr......
