Because it's almost impossible to not help someone if he just throw wads of money at random. What important is how many people weren't saved because he decided to be a middle man in all of it?

It's only hard if you don't want to help anyone and your only goal is to push charter schools(by any other name) by any means necessary.

>Their work to clean water and cure diseases has saved millions of lives. They know what they are good at and they've decided to double down on that.

They helped so many people by not allowing them getting covid vaccine or by fighting generics? Also their "good" deeds weren't without negative consequences that could be avoided if someone actually listened to people they were "helping".

At some point it stops being a philanthropy when it makes lives of people he tries to "help" worse. Like his actions have a ulterior motives...

So he is no longer a billionaire? And donating to what charity, The Gates Foundation? The one that he controls? The one that he uses to push his ideological stances and repeatedly fails to help anyone? Just look how successful his work on improving education system in America was. What a sacrifice it was for him...

It will not work, part of compensation is being hired as lobbyist after you "retire" from public office. So either go fund me will do the same or it will fail.

Helping people necessitates taking some action, spending resources, potentially making some errors that can be taken against you.

But on the other hand, refusing to help people without any reason or flimsy reason is also frowned upon.

Adding friction is a perfect solution, now you want to help everyone but this stupid/pesky/lazy people just aren't able to follow simple(they ain't) instructions how to properly follow process of acquiring etc.

Now it's their fault, so no action is needed on you behalf.

Removing support for Pixel devices makes AOSP even less useful for developers, because belief that VM will be a good replacement for real hardware test environment is a fairy tale next to sleeping beauty.

So no, they don't provide "entire operating system source code", what they provide is a caricature of open source project. So maybe they should call it COSP.

I always felt like you are painting target on your homelab when you allow outside access.

Especially if one party have incentive to discredit/destroy such person, so court/jury won't take their testimony seriously(or there will be no testimony at all). After all it's almost impossible to connect such actions with subsequent suicide.

While suicide is by definition action of individual, what leads to it isn't always the same.

Based on my experience, more recent kernel versions have more fixes/better support for recent hardware(or sometimes not so recent). LTS doesn't backport everything from later releases for obvious reasons.
