And it's an open source os created to compete with Torvax by that Linus Stallman's company

[–] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 months ago

Actually, Gates is just the kernal. The OS should be called Ox/Gates.

Who is "Time Travel" and why are they moving chairs?

Known as Acererak in some realms

And Theta Sigma in others.

I think because Gates famously can jump over a chair, which he has demonstrated several times on stage. As the result, Gates (now Windows) didn't learn to jump over his first chair and all hell broke loose.

“How do I maximize a gate on Mac?”

[–] slurpeesoforion@startrek.website 6 points 3 months ago

You gotta ask Tim Apple about that.

[–] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Honestly, they might as well change the name to Gates. Feels like I have to break through one every time I want to do anything useful.

[–] DavidGarcia@feddit.nl 7 points 3 months ago

Heavens, Gates!

I can remember when Bill Gates would travel around and pitch how influential and transformative the internet could be and people would literally laugh in his face.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You must be from one of those alternate timelines. I remember people laughing at Gates because his book on influential and transformative technologies (The Road Ahead) didn't mention the Internet once.

[–] AidsKitty@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago

I remember when Gates went on David Letterman to announce a baseball game was going to be broadcast over the internet for the first time and Letterman mocked him for several minutes. In the beginning the internet was straight garbage.
