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.

Retirement? In this economy?

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago
[-] jarfil@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

You can... maybe not for long, and not out of the streets, but technically anyone can "retire" at any moment...

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

If it's not final, it's not retiring. Pretty sure "comfortably" is implied as well.

Y’all need to watch pirates of Silicon Valley

[-] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago

It's like the Halloween 3 of the Pirates franchise: pretty good but quite a departure for the series. Notably, neither Captain Sparrow nor Captain Stagnetti make an appearance at all - amongst many other differences.

Amazing review, and shockingly accurate. Well done.

[-] VanRijn29@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

He meant "photostat" though.

If you're not in the know, google "a neighbor named xerox gates jobs"

Dig an inch and you realize woz has more tech talent in his left pinky than jobs ever did.

Haha, I like this part:

[…] Gates responded: "Well, Steve, I think there's more than one way of looking at it. I think it's more like we both had this rich neighbor named Xerox and I broke into his house to steal the TV set and found out that you had already stolen it."

I half expected you to just say “Google it”

Thanks man I appreciate it
