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.

The non-Dutch mind cannot comprehend: the “car is the guest”-street.

Cars are tolerated in these streets, but should drive slowly and patiently behind cyclists.

It’s great.

The net is full of articles and pictures about Linus Torvalds meeting Bill Gates. They all gloss over the fact that Dave Cutler was also there — to the point of cropping him out of the picture. Somehow, it seems, the guy who did RSX-11, VMS, and Windows NT is relevant too...?

"A cyclist is a disaster for the country's economy: he does not buy cars and does not borrow money to buy. He does not pay for insurance policies. He does not buy fuel, does not pay for the necessary maintenance and repairs. He does not use paid parking. He does not cause serious accidents. He does not require multi-lane highways. He does not get fat.
Healthy people are neither needed nor useful for the economy. They don't buy medicine. They do not go to hospitals or doctors. Nothing is added to the country's GDP (gross domestic product).
On the contrary, every new McDonald's restaurant creates at least 30 jobs: 10 cardiologists, 10 dentists, 10 dietary experts and nutritionists, and obviously, people who work at the restaurant itself."
Choose carefully: cyclist or McDonald's? It is worth considering.
P.S. Walking is even worse. Pedestrians don't even buy bicycles.
P.P.S. If you have read this far and still don't get it, this post is SATIRE. Reread it with this in mind.

I saw someone do this earlier in the week, and fancied doing the same. All the grass types from the wild areas of my garden.

Edited to add a tag: #grasstodon - please use it if you post your own so we can see all the fun biodiversity!

The internet in Iran is already gone for several days. For some reasons api.github.com is still accessible and people discuss possible circumvention methods in a GitHub issue:

https://github.com/net4people/bbs/issues/484

(The whole repo is a forum for discussion internet censorship)

#Iran #censorship #Internet

Internet is completely blocked in Iran · Issue #484 · net4people/bbs

Internet is completely blocked in Iran. We had one report than a person could connect to Telegram using UDP proxy and it seems that TCP connections are blocked. Edit1: https://mastodon.social/@netb...

A while back I followed an initial small group of landscape photographers and then a bunch of the other photographers (landscape and otherwise) that they boosted photos from, and now my fediverse feed is at least half nice photographs. I can recommend, especially if you find these trying times in your social media feed.

(This is not original to me, I saw @dwenius mentioning doing it and decided it was a good idea.)
