Bill Gates: US 'not even close' to doing enough to fight pandemic
- Melting_Harps 6y agoWhy doesn't he help Andrew Yang run for 3rd party and help push UBI then? Its so easy to sit back and let others in your foundation give the illusion that Gates himself is the one doing all the legwork with favourable sound bites in the media. When the truth he is just the money. I think M$ is evil, and it represents all that sucks about tech, not least of which is nepotism and theft; but also every time I'm forced to use a Windows box I still cannot see how Linux is not the standard as Windows OS may be the Industry standard but is a total POS system. Its bloated and slow (16gb of ram feels entirely pedestrian in most cases in that ecosystem) as well just being aesthetically unappealing. I went all in with various Linux distros close to the latter end of XP in 2009ish and its like night and day, old(er) thinkpads can get a new chance at Life with a properly installed Linux distro.

- redis_mlc 6y agoGates has a diplomatic opinion on America's failure to deal with corona, but I would go further and say that America lost to Mother Nature. We either need to get in the fight (testing, tracing, isolation), or settle for herd immunity. I've seen no evidence of the former.
