Not just you.
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.
Don't know what his deal is and why he acted as such but the page is still there as is and it helped inform likely hundereds of thousands of people. Don't know if he had a change of heart but he created something larger than himself so that is fine. Just telling this so that people don't misdirect their anger against wikipedia.
Considering his lack of public statements and actual support for Israel and zionism I'd argue your wrong.
Conservatively moderating a shit show that is Israeli subject matter is one thing (and I've been banned from reddit for pointing out how bat shit insane zionism is) but actively supporting the regime is a completely different thing.

And he IS fine. What a handsome guy!
I already had like a thousand reasons before that, so...
Linux user here. What's a friend?
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.
sudo apt-get install friends
Awesome package! Still figuring out what it does though 🤔
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.

Linus would be too busy chewing Epstein out in a mailing list and then banning him from it permanently if they were friends.
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.
Epstein's "day job" was being a socialite. He was the guy who knew everybody. If you wanted an introduction, he could do it. He was the guy who made sure that the riff raff stayed out, even if they were rich.
I'm pretty sure that everybody knew he was always around "young women", but I strongly suspect that most of the people he interacted with didn't know about the child sex abuse. They were there for his "rolodex".
But, the end result is that because he was the guy who knew everybody in a position of power, his network shows who has the power. My guess is that at least half the people he had in his network were not into child sex abuse, and didn't know that he was involved in that. But, I have only the world's tiniest violin to play for those people. I think they're guillotine-worthy because of their abuses of power, and how they hoarded obscene amounts of wealth. For far too long, the ultra rich have had a good public image in the US. People should have been furious with them just for hoarding all that wealth. And, the Epstein folks are the ones who not only hoarded the wealth, but spent it to gain power, which they used to warp society to benefit themselves. So, now everybody's disgusted with them and hates them, it's for the wrong reasons, but at least they're hated.

Exactly. He was actively seeking out wealthy and influential people to add to his circle of influence.
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.

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.
Rules
- Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
- No misinformation
- No NSFW content
- No hate speech, bigotry, etc
