Bill Gates vows to give away 99 per cent of his fortune by 2045
  • The foundation exists because of Melinda.

    Bill is, and always has been, a sociopath. It’s a requirement to becoming a billionaire outside of inheritance. He ‘cares’ about humanity because it’s a useful vector through which to launder his reputation.

    A truly uplifting story would be if he were advocating to prevent billionaires from existing. Any society which tolerates that level of wealth concentration is suicidal.

  • Blindingly Obvious.
  • They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.

    A healthy, broadly educated population, which feels safe and secure, is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.

  • In Australian election race, Trump 'chaos' is making a conservative vote risky
  • Where, precisely, does my post claim .au has a 2 party system?

    It’s an illustration of how the 2 major parties have functioned in lock-step to move the Overton Window rightward here for last decade or two of the previous century, and the entirety of this one.

    We’re lucky to have an electoral system which permits nuanced preferences to be meaningfully counted. We don’t need to blindly accept the dimmer of two incendiary forces.

  • In Australian election race, Trump 'chaos' is making a conservative vote risky
  • Framing the Australian Labor Party, in its current form, as ‘centre-left’ betrays a catastrophic level of wilful ignorance and obsequious deference.

    The ALP today are a demonstrably conservative, centre-right party, and the Liberal/National coalition are solidly right-wing regressive.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • They need everyone to be sick, stupid, and scared.

    A healthy and broadly educated population which feels safe and secure is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.

  • What was Linux like in the 90s
  • I cut my teeth with DOS and Netware, used Windows until the day 98 was released (had been using the GM for a month), and cut over to Slackware as my daily driver. Dabbled with Redhat before stabilising on Debian, which I’ve never found a need to change from for my headless boxes.

    One thing I specifically remember was hand tuning my X11 config to drive my 15” Trinitron at 1024x768 @ ~68Hz.
