Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and Linus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux kernel, have surprisingly never met before. That all changed at a recent dinner hosted by Sysinternals creator Mark Russinovich.
The worlds of Linux and Windows finally came together in real life, and Dave Cutler, Microsoft technical fellow and Windows NT lead developer, was also there to witness the moment and meet Torvalds for the first time. “No major kernel decisions were made,” jokes Russinovich in a post on LinkedIn.

Bill Gates and Linus Torvalds have apparently never met in person before, despite their pseudo-rivalry.
I am flattered, however no, I just shitpost here on lemmy and have no other social media presence.
Also I use AI tools to help me write like this. I like to twist context into funny things like this but it’s more of an experiment than anything serious.
Do you have like a blog or something? Good bit of writing, this.

Well it’s very evocative, you should be proud.
