I'll never understand why people put Steve Jobs on a pedestal. He might have been a very astute businessman , but by all accounts he was a horrible human being and a colossal prick.

[-] dill@lemmy.one 74 points 1 year ago

He used to eat only fruit and smelled like shit, he's my hero for that one

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 150 points 1 year ago

Say what you want about Steve Jobs, he's the guy who killed Steve Jobs

[-] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 28 points 1 year ago

Oh that's so hilariously dark.

[-] essteeyou@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I think I've heard that as a Hitler joke. Say what you want about Hitler, at least he killed Hitler.

Steve Jobs was the Elon Musk of his time, he just died too soon for everyone to see him for the villain he was.

[-] OscarRobin@lemmy.world 42 points 1 year ago

Steve Jobs did at least actually do things. Musk just buys things and claims he did them.

[-] SternburgExport@feddit.de 179 points 1 year ago

Nah Jobs didn't do anything himself. From Wozniaks first computer up to the multitouch display for the iPhone, all of these things were just bought/stolen/copied. Jobs just knew how to put these technologies into something that would sell.

[-] Restaldt@lemm.ee 31 points 1 year ago

So elon but a good businessman

iOS user: "DUDE have you seen [new iOS feature]? This is the bee's knees!" [10 minutes of gushing omitted for brevity]
Android user: "...Yeah, we've had that for 15 years."

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 46 points 1 year ago

Even the iPhone itself was just a more advanced version of a PDA or other handheld PC device that existed years before it. Logically, phones would have advanced similarly with or without Apple.

Floating apps. And split screen. I was playing Pokemon Go with reddit open in the corner in 2017 and it was old then. I dunno when iOS got it, but it's recentish.

Fun fact: Android is older.

[-] designatedhacker@lemm.ee 61 points 1 year ago

Technically correct, but it was originally aimed at Blackberry. https://www.pcworld.com/article/464050/original_android_prototype_revealed_during_google_oracle_trial.html

Apple pioneered a moderately useful mobile browser and fully touch screen UI (except for the home button).

They've been copying each other ever since, to the point where I watch the WWDC keynote thinking "they didn't already have THAT!?" most of the time.

[-] ChronosWing@lemmy.zip 54 points 1 year ago

More like Apple copies an android feature that is more than a decade old then claims it as some kind of innovation.

Found the commenter who is old enough to retire

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 48 points 1 year ago

I think every nerdy person knows about it though. Gates and Jobs have a pretty famous exchange over it.

He died, all right. Never letting go of his bullshit, whether it was alternative medicine or whatever.

[-] dingleberry@discuss.tchncs.de 51 points 1 year ago

He's been raised to divinity almost. Even now, not a month goes by when some major outlet would write a story on what a genius he was, same goes for hackernews.

Odd that had he lived, you'd be seeing him on Joe Rogan or posting some antivax bs.

[-] victron@programming.dev 27 points 1 year ago

Holy shit! Imagine if he was alive during fucking COVID, I can totally see what you said lmao

I miss when Steve Jobs was the most overtly garbage trashman in the tech industry. Well, at least he's resting peacefully in hell.

[-] Qyuzu@lemdro.id 51 points 1 year ago

Here are the stats nowadays. Just to make Steve Jobs roll in his grave, once again! 😂

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 49 points 1 year ago

Those are weird stats lumping in phone OSes with desktop/notebook OSes.

Did he forget about windows mobile pda phones that predated the iPhone? I had one of these before the iPhone was a thing: https://m.gsmarena.com/o2_xda_iis-933.php

Why does this asshole live rent free in all your heads? I never hear Apple fanboys bitch about that creep Andy Rubin.

[-] oatscoop@midwest.social 74 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Because his company was (and continues to be) a powerful force acting against consumer rights.

He was also a self absorbed asshole that's still idolized for some reason.

Your first question is fair, but Apple fans don't know who that is.

[-] Yaglis@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago

99% of android fans don't know him either

At least normal billionaires pretend to be fans of free markets where competition keeps prices in check. Steve Jobs was just honest enough to admit he's a piece of shit

[-] Stinkywinks@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

He says great artist steal then says he wants to destroy android for stealing? Like he did anything but hype shit up on stage
