It would be nice for creating a win98 subsystem on modern versions of windows, to ensure that things still work for preservation purposes

they already sent a message ha it would be cancelled. I mean seriously, who would do such a conference in Zambia?
I wonder why Microsoft does not release more relevant code as Open Source such as Windows XP
If it is available for Mac do we also get it for Linux hten?
I just hope that we will see the AI financial bubble collapse soon. Most models are now good enought.
Please all make it the same
A communication on a mailing list. An opinion about an issue. A critique on rushed assumptions.
That is why we urgently need porn verification, so we get the names and numbers.
I think he pointed out the exact correct legal arguments.
There was no indication that a deceased Marvin Minsky had done anything wrong or even had intercourse with an Epstein victim. The charges made on the mailing list were not founded. Any defense lawyer in court would have to raise the exact same legal tests. Richard Stallman does not like superficial language.
I also believe that the tone of speaking about his leadership of an organisation does not even reflect or understand his role. It creates an organisational fiction.
Because the "charity" does not spent his money on cheritable work, it "convinces" officials to hand over public money to the Gates Foundation to run these programmes. The foundation co-funds programs with governments (e.g., global health initiatives, vaccine alliances). In germany the liberal party that was in charge of it raised the flag, otherwise Gates Foundation would have siphoned off insane sums of money.
Gates made huge money off the covid patents.
Indeed, someone should confront Mr. Gates over Guido Sohne.
Joi Ito stepped down from MIT, Richard Stallman lost honourable office space over a legally sound argument defending Marvin Misky..
Both of them have not done anything shady and are nozt accussed to have touched the kids.
All of this because of money Mr. Gates channelled from Jeffry Epstein to MIT. He never apologised about that and was mere teflon in the MIT campaign. Would not suprise me if his Pr team was behind the detractions.
At least Melinda, the inventor of the Clippy, cut the crrap and filed for divorce.
Also, from the Epstein files we learned about the suggestion of Epstein to medicate Melinda in secret because of an STD Bill Gates got from Russian hookers.
That is the guy we trust with global health policy.
The Gates Foundation business is based on taking money from the state for these projects while they make it appear as spending their own money. Apparently Jeffry was one of the advisors of the tax scheme.
Okay, so Mozilla finds and fixes obscure security bugs with the aid of AI tools. Then they just need to keep doing that for the new code.
This quickly makes code more robust and instead we think about slaying the messenger. If Mozilla would not uncover and fix the bugs an attacker could.
The synthesis of Sparta and Athens was tried successfully: Prussia.
It is the ideal that lurks in his mind, he was trained in Frankfurt school, the interprussian left wing academic opposition, However, for a state like that to exist you may tolerate a dofus in power but not embrace him. US culture is not able to embrace that.
The tariff policy is outrageous for trade economists. I was trained in that area of economics. Trump put amateurs in the position to develop "Fair trade" economics. completely bogus teachings. Even the Heritage Foundation project 2025 had to hedge the fair trade dossier with an alternative essay on classic free trade policy.
Now, he did technical mistakes and it costs XXX billions figures. But no one talks about that. He is immune from the consequences of his action where in every other country a head of state would have been compelled to step down. This makes the whole Trump regime very frightening, because they hardened him with the daily outrage, so he does not step down anymore for the stuff that really matters.
Speaking of the stuff that really matters I still find the ecommerce chapters of Trade Agreements outrageous with their anti-opensource provisions against mandatory source disclosure. Source code disclosure is exactly what governments should ask for in public procurement. There are things that need to improved in trade but using tariffs is not one of them. I think it emerged from the pipe dream to abolish a federal income tax by using tariffs, like its 1826 again.
No amount of genius can overcome a preoccupation with detail.
