Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and Linus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux kernel, have surprisingly never met before. That all changed at a recent dinner hosted by Sysinternals creator Mark Russinovich.
The worlds of Linux and Windows finally came together in real life, and Dave Cutler, Microsoft technical fellow and Windows NT lead developer, was also there to witness the moment and meet Torvalds for the first time. “No major kernel decisions were made,” jokes Russinovich in a post on LinkedIn.

Bill Gates and Linus Torvalds have apparently never met in person before, despite their pseudo-rivalry.
You seems to be up in arms defending a shitty billionaire and his shitty charity, repeating over and over again that they did “some good”, what kind of argument even is that? Dictators do “some good” too you know.
That’s not how it works, it’s not like “I do some good, now I can do some bad”. It does not even out.
Bad people doesn’t become good because “some good things came out of it”.
If you do bad, then you are bad.
You’re right, that isn’t how it works. Which is why I would never say that. Point out where I said anything remotely like that please.
I answered Honytawk 🤷🏼♀️?

You’re on a crusade attacking everyone.
