What does this off topic nonsense have anything to do with what I said????
I’m not aware of major lies about Gates’ origin story. It’s well documented both by him and third party sources.
Like I said modern Gates is shit. And honestly his ability in terms of being a predictor of where technology is headed is rather poor. So if you really want to criticize the guy during his most important years I mean certainly his book was a great example of that.
Completely dropped the ball in terms of the rise of the internet and then later on in terms of the importance of physical product design.
If you’re claiming there are lies about the Bill Gates origin story of being a son of a rich attorney who went to Harvard and then subsequently dropped out to code software starting with a form of basic for a very limited personal computer by all means let us know.
And really you’re taking an outsiders view of creating publicity in an existing website market and comparing it to someone who literally created an entire market for himself. Yes. Bill Gates did that. It’s indisputable.
Not only that. Did Bill Gates claim some stupid ass story about helping someone was his goal? No. The popular origin story states he knew the computer was a goldmine and he wanted to get in on that. That exactly the type of story your quote hates on. It’s ridiculous.
If you don’t like the guy because of what he does now, I totally agree. But there’s no need to use fallacious techniques to promote stupidity. There’s plenty of good material out there on vaccines and pharmacy to hit him on directly.
You just should be aware of two things.
-
I’m well educated on the history of the modern computer. Most of which I have not only researched but lived through.
-
I’m even more sensitive to fallacious arguments. Proper debate is another strong interest of mine.
You’ve just simultaneously attempted to broach truth on both of those topics simultaneously. I’m not even saying this like as a warning as much as advice.
Really I’m just not the person you want to playing stupid games like that with.
Pulling some quote about eBay?!? I’ll eat you up on stuff like that every time. It’s not hard.
No way Elon is this purposefully ignorant about Bill Gates origins.
Or honestly this fucking ignorant about the origins of modern computing in general.
Modern Bill Gates is shitty.
But this comment screams “ignorant, but well written typical leftist reddit shill”.
-
Rag to riches straw man. Gates never has claimed this.
-
Utilized predatory patenting. What? Perhaps later on? This had nothing to do with his rise or success.
This last one though needs the most push back: “Publicly funded work to sell back to the public.” This is the one that really screams “leftist” to me. Even if you want to look at the work he “stole” it was all developed and researched commercially first by others.
Gates developed (or first bought) DOS only after Gary Kildall told IBM to fuck off and wouldn’t sell his own commercial operating system.
Excel is a rip of VisiCalc and Lotus which were both commercial programs.
Even if you want to look at GUI interfaces those were stolen from Xerox PARC a commercial research facility.
Notice do any of these leftist or open source advocates push back against the Unix GUI front ends for stealing from commercially developed material? Fuck no.
Even if you want to complain about modern commercial operating systems stealing from Unix concepts Bill Gates himself is largely separated from that effort AND Steve Jobs is actually the dude who pioneered that particular sell job long before Gates.
You think this typical Reddit shill is lining up to criticize Steve Jobs who pioneered: predatory patenting, along with stealing both open source software AND hardware concepts to use in his commercial products?!
Hell no, this guy probably wrote this particular vomit worthy comment on his $3,000 MacBook while sodomizing himself with the latest iPhone Max model.
So yeah modern Bill Gates sucks but I personally object to purposeful leftist ignorance which routinely attempts to rewrite well known and understood historical concepts.
I mean out of all the Silicon Valley Billionaires the way he did it is the most rags to riches. Also dude was a killer programmer, not some marketer in a suit. So I have more respect for him than the others.
The only thing Gates really stole on the way up was DOS. And that was after Gary Kildall told IBM to fuck themselves so they had no choice.
Now years later they certainly stole all kinds of ideas and his support of big pharmaceutical goals in the United States is stupid and more than troublesome.
But yeah I take exception to this dude who thinks Gates made his original money on predatory patenting and that he was born into his billionaire status. Fuck modern Bill Gates, but fuck this ignorant leftist moron as well.
Dude knows nothing and it shows.
This.
His giant face on every video does it for me.
It’s ok to show the contextual content instead of plastering your face everywhere.
Even the most narcissistic of DC politicians just plaster their name everywhere rather than their faces. He should take the hint.
Like I think a lot of this argument is pedantic but taking you literally here I actually disagree with your specific comment.
In regards to this specific argument, no we DON’T need to discuss or acknowledge that.
Why? Because the greater context is letting a group of people with a genetic advantage unfairly compete.
If you reduce this to specifics and pedantry all it does is open the door to the left and their slippery slope bullshit.
95% use cases are perfectly acceptable for all of society to function. This is true of many different things.
We don’t need to promote inefficiency by constantly catering to the last 5% on any issue.
That’s how the left always wins. By promoting idiotic test cases.
Did Trumps rightful but rare claims of sedition against the FBI or cheating against state agencies go anywhere?
No. Because the left enforces it’s own 5% rule. But the right bends over every time when theirs is challenged out of “compassion”.
Think about that.
Isn’t it incredible.
For almost my entire lifetime Republicans have had zero testicles or any semblance of how to win.
Yet when someone rightfully and ethically tells them to stop exploiting their image suddenly realizing that funding is threatened Republicans recognize a winning path forward.
Fuck these assholes.
To be fair just improper administration of a vaccine is enough to kill people. Doesn’t matter what kind it is.
Now try and have any human do something properly 10,000 times in a row.
This is kind of insane but if I put this in perspective with the national guard thing it essentially sounds like a military coup / fracture while all of this was happening.
Respectfully you’re just repeating my exact point.
FBI can’t be trusted so why are we trusting them on 5G nonsense.
Very confused.
Or you could read the part where I made the common sense argument that a guy attacking up a singular building because he is “afraid of 5G”:
-
Makes no sense from a network perspective.
-
Does little to improve the world in the long term future.
-
Killing himself in the process doesn’t support his overall goal. Especially as he made a point to try and save other civilians.
Really the most important factor in regard to 5G is that you’re taking a constructed narrative and running with it for some reason.
There’s zero evidence in regard to the 5G claim. All that was said is that the FBI was looking into it.
That’s like saying the FBI was “looking into” if Carter Page was colluding with Russia.
Zero evidence and likely wild speculation in order to control the media narrative.
I mean. Conspiracies.win is a site now.
Perhaps we can wait for more actual information to come in. It’s early on.
I think it’s ok to ask serious questions but all these people spouting off about 5G conspiracies make no sense.
I get it. He wanted to damage the building. But there are likely other motivations involved.
Considering there’s only like 12 legitimate Biden voters I doubt any of them would end up here.
Either way the big picture idea is the same.
People claiming to be Biden voters here are likely Larping.
If only we had more Tim Pool videos which don’t help the cause and reach no logical conclusions.
That might have made the difference!
I’d agree with this but that would mean I was convinced via logic.
I’d rather just use temper tantrums to convince others of my strongly held opinions and completely dissolve discourse. /s
The founders believed in freedom of speech precisely due to the power of civil discourse.
If you completely abandon civil discourse then you’re abandoning America.
You can play out what the left is doing. If you want to try and reflect their fascism on the right it’s just going to lead to a shitshow.
The better route is enforcement. I’m not the guy spouting off about civil wars here but respectfully if it comes down to it civil war is a better long term enforcement option than participating in pussy hat public meltdowns and strong-arming business culture into fascist enforcement.
Asking me to read 23 times after I already did does not help your argument at all.
Your points as I stated are off topic, irrelevant, and nonsensical.
If you want to turn this into a list a fallacies that’s fine. Ad Nauseam clearly applies here friend. You’re literally just repeating your poor logic and nonsense.
Furthermore cite your own bullshit before pulling classic reddit garbage and requesting that of others.
This latest line is my favorite in terms of your flawed and ridiculous stupidity. Your replies are literally insufferable. Half this stuff could be written by Assange himself. Because your both obviously fond of sniffing your own farts.
Moreover, if you're not sure he can be trusted, how in the hell can he deserve a pardon?
This reveals a couple of things.
-
It cuts through your layers of bullshit and shows this is simply a favor for fucking over Hillary. You could clearly care less about all the other garbage you’re spewing.
-
To better explain above it’s clear you think trust is a factor in terms of a pardon. Why? Is this a quid pro quo? Which leads to...
-
Pardons are about injustice. It’s now clear your approach here here has nothing to do with that.
Blocked, your stupid argument via quantity rather than quality is European style politics at its finest. America left that behind over 200 years ago.
As a conservative I can tell you that libertarians lecturing about spending is like Catholics lecturing about chastity.
Or you could answer any one of my points.
I don’t think a single one of any of those comebacks made logical sense.
Like the whole Wikileaks unmatched record. What?!? What does that have to do with the argument at all.
Wikileaks will literally publish anything. It’s not just fuckery. It’s your moms bank records.
At some point that position does become indefensible.
The problem is one of ethics and trust.
Snowden is ethical at least. I don’t know if he can be trusted.
Assange has no ethics and has always shown that no one can trust him.
I think Assange is getting fucked by the system but if I’m being honest it’s an imperfect solution to an imperfect problem.
Only if you're dim enough to accept the Official Narrative™ proffered by the very Deep State you claim to despise.
Because Glenn Greenwood is deep state.
Go to the new conspiracies site if you want to spout off obvious mockingbird type stuff. I see right through it.
Perhaps I’m giving people too much credit for understanding some principles are way better than others.
To release info on a spying program the government continually lies about and being outed and called a traitor for doing so takes balls and is a reasonable principled position based on ethics.
To just release anything someone sends you because you’re crazy and believe in open and transparent data but only if it hurts the West isn’t much of a quality principled position at all. And really there’s no ethics involved there whatsoever.
He’s easy scenario A.
Trump releases Assange.
Assange goes back to Wikileaks.
FBI leaks all the dirt on Trump to Assange who will definitely publish it all.
It’s not Assange playing sides thats the problem.
It’s that he’s so easily exploited. And the wrong people are in government currently.
You don’t need Assange free to prove that.
And either way if you do release him then it taints the testimony regardless
Assange’s “principle” is all I do should be free.
It’s like playing a game of cards and having your buddy’s weird friend show up and say everyone should have everything face up on the table.
Both the weird guy and Assange are principled and both are self serving idiots for suggesting such a thing.
You’re straight projecting anyway.
No one is going to leak the entirety of NSAs work to cover for a grudge. There’s plenty ty of better ways to cover for something.
However Assange definitely was interested in fucking over Hillary. Everyone knows that.
Snowden is the correct choice here.
Respectfully it’s not JUST that he has no loyalties but there is value in keeping at least some info secret.
I’m not arguing political bs. But actual reasonable state secrets.
To be a full out clearinghouse for state secrets just to be malicious isn’t really doing the nation any favors.
The fact that he’s a Euro Elitist doesn’t win him any favor from me either.
Chris Collins is the congressman who was convicted of insider trading.
One of Trumps earliest supporters.
He likely got busted due to Trump FBI spying but parallel construction likely occurred.
That’s not how the MS DOS deal went down.
It’s actually a very interesting story and I encourage you to read it.
If you feel like Gates would lie about it read from the IBM perspective.
Gates actually told them to go buy CPM first.
