  • That sounds really evil, esp. if you already have low expectations and it’s not like I’m going to defend ol’Bill, but…

    Do we know what he used the patents for?

    Acquiring patent sounds like you want to use it as a gold mine by manufacturing the product for “best” price, which is pretty heinous, especially when it’s in conflict with saving lives. But in principle it could be the opposite. One could, entirely for altruistic reasons acquire a patent from someone with the intent to make the cure more affordable.

    I mean, I don’t like Bill but let’s be honest, he’s no RFK Jr.

    OT, but I feel like I keep seeing more of these “foo 1.2.3 released” announcements here on this channel.

    Is it on topic, though? Shouldn’t the channel be more about Linux specific topics, rather than place for people to discuss updates of arbitrary selection of apps which just share the fact that they also run on Linux?

    Edit: Technically the “I feel like” part was true but looking at the topic post … factually I’m totally wrong; it’s like 1 in 20 at most.
