The Web, Including Wikipedia, Gets Filled With Lies About Bill Gates, Added by Bill Gates and His PR Team
Of course Wikipedia is funded by Gates [1, 2, 3]
History going offline, but some static archives persist (if you somehow manage to find them; they're virtually un-discoverable).
THE media is failing to do its job unless its job is to whitewash a bunch of criminals and parrot things they say as long as they pay the media. An associate has given this new example of "bill sez" (something Bill Gates says becomes not only a headline a whole shallow article). This example "wrongly tries to misframe him as a "philanthropist" rather than the weak politician he is," the associate said.
However, another associate (someone I've known online for over 20 years) responded to something we published 2 days ago, noting that it "seems sad that /. (Slashdot) - once a champion of "Linux" news - is now one of many PR platforms of the criminals who try to kill Linux."
The associate cited an old interview with Monte Davidoff, Developer of Altair BASIC Floating Point. The associate added: "What has the world's chief software architect originally produced - the pivot table /s"
"See yet more Wikipedia revisionism," he said, quoting: "Using DEC's BASIC-PLUS language as a guide, Gates determined what features would work with the limited resources of the Altair computer."
They're basically rewriting history about a dead man now (a man whose son left comments in Techrights). According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (27-04-1997), Ed Roberts, Gates' employer at MITS in the 1970's, said that Bill Gates "acted like a spoiled kid, which is what he was."
Now he's rewriting history, trying to take credit for everything and paying the media (even Wikipedia) to play along. This also serves to distract from what he did with Jeffrey Epstein and the Gates mistresses.
"Notice how nowhere in that self-aggrandising hagiography does he give anyone else credit for the work," the associate said. "Find one utterance from his billness [Gates] where he ever mentions any of the other technically better people whose work he literally stole on a lot of occasions."
"Remember that Greeting Card company that Exchange mysteriously sent to the spam folder. After billg [Gates] tried and failed to buy the company. After Microsoft started up their own online greeting card section. It was on the Groklaw Microsoft Litigation page. Is it possible to get hold of the entire archive and restore it for posterity" (it's accessible in ibiblio.org still).
"Incidentally," he said, "all the comments seem to have been disappeared on The Register website. Including my own. I don't know just how far back they've managed to wipe it. Remember when their logo was “biting the hand that feeds IT”. They should change it to “licking the hand that provides advert revenue” /s"
"Don't believe billg isn't still pulling the strings behind the scenes. Witness the latest inegration of Windows that throws up a fake imitation of google search and then directs search to Bing." ("Microsoft Bing shows misleading Google-like page for 'Google' searches")
Not much has changed, except how history is recorded. A man famous for stealing source code is weaponising the media to spread lies, under the banner of "Source Code" (capitalised). Wikipedia is fiscally obliged to play along. █
