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 65 points 2 years ago (4 children)

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

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 131 points 2 years ago (5 children)

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

[–] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh that's so hilariously dark.

[–] essteeyou@lemmy.world 30 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (16 children)

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

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."

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.

[–] tosmo@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

To be fair, Apple had a PDA, the Newton, back in 1993... Not that it was the 1st again...

[–] DrQuint@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I had one called the iPaq.

Apple has since then made it illegal to trademark products starting with "i". Irony.

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.

Found the commenter who is old enough to retire

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 46 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Rakonat@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

Retirement? In this economy?

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

[–] dingleberry@discuss.tchncs.de 48 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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 2 years 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 45 points 2 years ago (5 children)

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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 47 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] GerryMandering@lemm.ee 16 points 2 years ago (6 children)

while excluding other types of computer like embedded devices, servers and whatnot

[–] frippa@lemmy.ml 19 points 2 years ago (4 children)

If you include servers and embedded devices Linux is gonna go brrrr

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 64 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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 25 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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

[–] pizzahoe@lemm.ee 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Man all this money in the bank and still ranting like a loser. Mfer his company steals all product ideas from other companies right from VR headsets to features from Android and then he says this. Innovate harder bitch 🤣🤣

[–] preciouspupp@sopuli.xyz 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What are you talking about? He’s dead.

Yeah Android might have copied IOS. But why not. Android would have been developed any way sooner or later. It is based on Linux. And that is open sourced.

[–] CoughingwithCoffee@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It only took a year for Android to be released after iOS. How long has it taken China to come up with a competing operating system? I'm pretty sure Google was working somewhat in parallel to Apple.

[–] mashbooq 44 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The first iPhone was released in 2007. Android development started in 2003, with the first pitches to phone manufacturers in 2005. So yeah, Android wasn't merely a copy of iPhone.
