A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Is Bill Gates still important in the tech company space?
I was under the impression that he was not active for over a decade. Having left Microsoft, and focusing on more humanitarian efforts. Does he have any influence, or does tech-company-space activity still?
He's busy sucking Trump's Toes.
Apparently dismantling USAID and undoing all of his humanitarian efforts doesn't bother him enough to not be important in the room.
It does make me sigh to see him go back on his philanthropic past, but he was absolutely cut throat in creating MS.
