For those that don’t know, that’s a very famous Steve Jobs quote. Tim Apple is just repeating it
Show threadzikzak025Mar 14
Not even really a “Steve Jobs” quote, it was by a bunch of people in Apple’s marketing department for the “think different” ad campaign.

no it’s just my comment

I don’t care how rich he is that is a shitty signature

There’s an unregulated part of my brain that wants to believe that he wrote this to Mango Musolini and wanted plausible deniability and wrote

Here’s to you Tiny Cock

Apple users being the misfits is the most suburban punk comment this year
Show threadreal_squidsMar 14
Punk as in enriching the other player in the duopoly lol

Yeah, it doesn’t really fly in 2026

It was always a marketing gimmick, a cynical opportunistic fabrication developed by ad men using the language of the civil rights era to sell consumer electronics, using the profits to shamelessly supply capital to those who work to undo the gains won by the movements they exploit.

The misfits in question: you wanna take on “The Man” but your mom says you have to be back inside by 5:30 so you can go get a pair of JNCO jeans at the mall.

Holy em-dashes, Batman!

I’m an enjoyer of em dashes, myself (before AI 😢) but that is far too many

Under Tim Cook, Apple joined the Navy.

Under Tim Cook — Apple built — as far as the rumours go — notwithstanding any open NDAs — multiple models of a self driving car — only to never release them.
Show threadsomethingDotExeMar 14
Hahaha what a load of crap. Apple has never, and will never be the misfits. It’s for the fucking high-class “I-can’t-walk-outside-the-company-with-this”-type of people.
Show threadhayvanMar 14
Ah, nothing says rebellion like making products so locked down you can only use in specific prescribed ways.
Show threadAkasazhMar 14
Nothing says ‘think different’ like reusing a thirty year old slogan for when your company was an underdog, instead of the evil corporation you once sought to destroy.
Show threadTHE_GR8_MIKEMar 14
I don’t think they’ve been an underdog since the original Apple I in 1976. Shit, from the 40 year old magazine ads and Computer Chronicles episodes I’ve seen, they’ve always been overpriced in the consumer market.
Show threadAkasazhMar 14

They always were overpriced, but hardware quality was superior. If you opened a 90’s pc or a Mac, there was a significant difference in finish.

But mid nineties apple nearly went under. The Microsoft deal and Jobs coming back really turned things around.

The same Tim Apple that showed up in person to grovel and give gold to the supream leader?

Peter Theil is pretty fuckin crazy.
Show threadIchNichtenLichtenMar 14

“If you’ve taught us anything, it’s that the people crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.”

Then there are the other ones, the logistics gurus who roll over at the slightest hint that an authoritarian president might come gunning for them.

Fuck you, Tim.
