Although President Donald Trump claims interest in Greenland, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, and Sam Altman might've already invested in a 'Freedom City' there.
Gates has long been a piece of shit. Even when he’s trying to do the right thing he systematically poisons the earth. ie pesiticide proponent, buying genetic engineering arguments at face value, to engineer plants to take more pesticides, and systematically poison every living thing as a result. Is into geo engineering, spraying aerosols into the upper atmosphere to blot out the sun. The fucking arrogance and hubris in thinking you are smart enough to know the consequences of something like that is astounding.
Fuck Bill Gates. He also fought to keep covid vaccines all private and not develop open source ones, early in 2020. Melinda knew what she was doing divorcing him.
Maybe it was Melinda Gates that was the ethical part of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. They divorced 5 years ago and I think it’s fair to say that Bill Gates’ focus has changed in that time frame.
He didn’t, all of the BS “philanthropy” was always a tax deduction maneuver and to funnel money into industries that he was personally vested in.
The same goes for all the other billionaires that pretend to give out money for good causes, remember when Meta ratboy said he was going to give away all but a small percentage of his money? Yeah, did people actually believe him and that it wasn’t a tax evasion scheme? Jesus christ, don’t trust the Greeks even when they come bringing you huge wooden horses that make no sense and that you don’t even know what to do with.
People forgot how hated Gates was in the 90s. Microsoft under his leadership went into all kinds of monopolistic and anti-competitive shenanigans (they still do but it was way worse back then).
MS did so many shitty things it is hard to keep track. They destroyed computer OS diversity every chance they got. This is why there were never any successful alternatives. It wasn’t because Windows was GUD.
Yeah. The deal he made to have new PCs come with windows installed was super anti-competitive and is the reason they basically own the OS market now. It also set back Linux as a competitor.
The push he made for the Internet Browser market was also quite anti-competitive and is the reason Firefox was born. Firefox was created as a pushback to Internet Explorer, long before Chrome was a thing.
Yeah I think the whole monoculture for computing was a very bad thing at the time and we were all deprived of the diversity that could have been. I remember OS/2 rather fondly as it was way better than Windows at the time.
Things change, and now the Linux and XNU kernel run the majority of the computing devices people use. Between being the backbone of the Internet and used in the majority of consumer faced internet devices, Linux has truly dominated.
I suppose it would also be dominate on the desktop if it wasn’t for Windows. Not that MS isn’t doing everything in their power to make it happen with their current anti-user agenda.
Gates too? I thought he had some redeeming qualities. Maybe I just didn’t look past the surface PR.
Oh, fuck, that dude has spent his entire career lying and pouring money into making you think so.
Wasn’t the rumor that his wife left him over Epstein ties, like way before these days?

Bill Gates is an absolute fucking ghoul.

He’s in the Epstein files btw.

also for PR towards people that don’t know him
He was among all the other techbro oligarchs who met up with Trump recently to kiss his ring.
You haven’t been paying close attention. Even his foundation is doing shady business to benefit Gates’ bottom line all the time.
As far as I can tell, his involvement is investing in a rare earth mineral company as part of a green energy initiative. I don’t see anything connecting him to some “freedom city”. That’s Peter Thiel: https://www.insidehook.com/internet/peter-thiel-praxis-next-great-city-greenland
They are all the same
Obviously wrong.
Not that obvious and not that wrong. Once you own a billion dollars you are part of the problem.
