When you realize Harry Potter was released 25 years ago.

He's also not a billionaire. Him and Jimmy Wales are true heroes of our time. Their work has shaped the modern world yet their fortunes are nowhere near even a single billion. It seems almost absurd and dumb on their part that they didn't even make 1 billion in decades given their impact, but turns out that's just the normal rate of accumulation when you don't just sell out or steal the work of others.

This proves all billionaires are evil, abhorrent scum.

Jimmy Wales

He's not a hero, he's a Zionist pig.

Linux user here. What's a friend?

[-] ray@sh.itjust.works 148 points 3 days ago

It's a class that's allowed to access another class's private members. Obviously Linus doesn't have any, because he codes in C.

i think you are mistaking friends with the boyfriends class

Super popular tv show from the 90s with Jennifer Anniston (from Office Space), Courtney Cox (from Scream) and a bunch of other schmucks that I can't remember.

It’s a second user account on your machine. Of course, you don’t put them in the sudoers file.

I actually made three new friends on new years eve completely through mentioning Linux. We were at a party and I had a really bad year last year so I was rusty in the "talking to people" department, the few people I knew there, who are indie games devs that don't use Linux, said something (can't remember exactly what) that made me reply with a Linux joke and those three people moved their chairs closer to me with a "ooooh, a linux nerd, let's fucking go" energy. We went on such a nerd dive that they party host told us that we aren't allowed to talk Linux anymore or we'd have to leave.
We talked a lot more through the night and had to really concentrate to not get thrown out, haha.

I'm genuinely baffled how many oligarchs had contact with Epstein. I do believe their primary job qualification is a lack of morals, but there's so many ways to be amoral, you don't have to all be friends with the guy that offers pedophilia.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 93 points 3 days ago

What this whole thing has taught me is that there is a market among billionaires for someone to peddle enslaved kids.

Now epstein is gone, and has been for years, but that demand doesn't just die. I don't have proof, but there is zero doubt in my mind that epstein is not a one and done. There's either another epstein, or more likely a dozen smaller epsteins out there.

There's a part of me that thinks all these ICE abducting kids is being done at trumps order, specifically as a means to replace epstein.

Epstein was not just a pedo pimp. He was a power-broker and a fixer for the American and Israeli rich elites. Not everyone was in for the girls, some of them were in for the other illegal stuff.

[-] thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 33 points 3 days ago

Beyond just the pedophilia, his (Epstein) operation was largely one of socialising, and securing (probably coerced) introductions from people he helped facilitate and now held blackmail over.

e.g. using blackmail material on a Bill Gates to secure an introduction to another wealthy and influential individual, offering them a “massage” and then producing kompromat at a later date to bring them into his circle.

Now don’t get me wrong, everyone who found themselves in this position was a willing participant, not a victim - but I can understand how so many oligarchs eventually found their way into his little black book.

Linus Torvalds flipping the bird

Don't know why but it feels right posting this.

[-] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 75 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Linus would be too busy chewing Epstein out in a mailing list and then banning him from it permanently if they were friends.

If he's in the files it's strictly to tear Jeffers apart for submitting a shit code patch and wasting his time.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
