Edison was an oligarch notorious for lying, cheating, stealing, and his complete lack of ethics and morals. I'm absolutely no fan of Jobs but Edison was the bigger bastard. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago* (1 child) Jobs took credit for everyone else's work. He presented himself as a visionary and a creator, when he was mostly just a liar and a thief. Maybe Edison was worse. I'm not saying Jobs was worse than Edison. I'm saying Jobs fabricated a legacy that a lot of people still believe, and will believe for a long time. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] kata1yst@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago Yeah I'll agree to that. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago (2 children) Wasn't Woz really the brain behind it all? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] kata1yst@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago One of several, but the first and probably most influential.
