      You shouldn’t be downvoted for thinking this. Many people do which is why this post exists to begin with.

      He sued them in order to be able to call himself that.

      But no matter how much money he throws at it, he can’t change a definition.

            You don’t think donations pour into anti-racism non-profit groups?

            Who do you think works to change these definitions and why don’t you think they’re funded?

            Do you think these things happen organically?

              What does anti racism have to do with anything?

              This supposed to be some kinda dogwhistle?

                Racism is one of the words that used to mean something different than what it means today.

                Racism used to mean believing races are superior or inferior to each other. Today, racism means “power + prejudice” or some variation.

                Try to keep up, man. We are talking about words changing definitions. ‘Founder’ was the example. I’m adding more, like ‘racism’

                  Today, racism means “power + prejudice”

                  no, that’s something some fringe group uses, it’s literally some micro fringe “SJW” and Alt-Right who push this shit

        Worth noting that Steve Jobs didn’t really found Apple either but rather used his friend to do all the leg work and made a brand out of that.

        It’s actually a really sad origin story if you look into it.

          I think Woz would disagree with that, and from everything I’ve read about that time from him, he was genuinely having a great time. Jobs did screw Woz out of money from Atari, which he was hurt by when finding out, but they were collaborative in founding Apple.

            Notably, Woz found out decades later, after Steve was dead already, when he was interviewed by someone who told him the whole story.

            I like to think that if Jobs were alive today, the general public would see him as the Elon Musk type that he was. Instead, he died before his cult of personality could properly sour on him.

              Yeah even in his final hours things started souring, with how he eschewed modern cancer medicine in favor of his weird all fruit diet. I imagine if he had actually beaten his cancer, it would have resulted in a huge ego boost, and further souring still.

          In this case, Jobs didn’t invent the first Apple computer but largely contributed to its marketing success, and he was there from the beginning. He was still a bad person, but blame where blame is due.
