Space Hobo on Nostr: My instance just shut off the rate limits to the Big Instances that were put in ...

My instance just shut off the rate limits to the Big Instances that were put in during a time of spam, so I'm getting a *lot* of Steve Jobs Memorial posts that I wouldn't have seen if this had been left on a couple weeks more.

I don't have anything informed to say about Steve Jobs, beyond the fact that there is a certain thread of hagiographic writing about the man that is uniquely poisonous. Many books can be summed up as "The secret to his *success* was that he was an **impatient child**!!"

However accurate or inaccurate this is, it has produced a generation of "Leaders" who earnestly believe that the best way to get results is to be a raging arsehole.

Perhaps Jobs's "legacy" needs to be shelved in the back for a while, until the horrible mythology passes.
