I'm liking UD 9.8, also.
I really don't give a crap
where it came from. I just want the best for me. I'll admit it. I just don't care anymore.
I installed UD after waiting far too long for DroidMod to do something (...
ANYthing!). Then I read how BlackDroid is a douche & thief and all this other crap. I let that stupid morality thing into my head, and my conscience prompted me to uninstalled it and put on Cyanogen. (
...In my Homer Simpson voice; "Stupid conscience!") I said, "Where's the Wow? I want my damned Wow!" So, very much unimpressed, I went back to UD.
I was/am the type to toss a Lincoln to someone for their efforts. But trying to separate fact from BS and trace back the story of who did what and why and all this shit; Frankly at this point, I can't tell
who's one of the good guys anymore. It's exhausting, and so much not worth the effort. And like I say, the fact of the matter is, no matter how good the good guy is, if he he/she isn't producing what I want, I'm just not keeping it on my phone. And I just can't afford to toss money to someone for "a good try". I wish I could.
No more loyalty. No more trying to factor morality points into which ROM my Droid runs! I want what I want. If I want dope, I don't spend days researching the history of where it came from so as to make sure no one was shot down in Mexico over it. If I want sneakers, I don't write to Nike for a certificate ensuring me that no shoe-less Taiwanese or Indonesian kids made them in a sweatshop for a piece of fish and bread at the end of their 12 hour shift before starting their night shift with some big fat sweaty American pedophile.
I also bought a Verizon Droid despite the long list of nasty things Verizon has done in the past to it's customers, employees, the homes they've displaced, small businesses they've crushed and wetlands they've destroyed by putting up their cell towers.
But hey, let's get all divided over something
really important, like who stole who's modified open source that was already combined with stolen software and made it better and then called it his own but no one can really prove any of it which makes it all nothing but wild ass speculation to begin with...
Pfffffffffft.
Who cares?
Is BD a douche guilty of theft?
Probably. Do I or will I ever know that for a fact?
Probably not. But as far as I'm concerned at this point, anyone who does anything that keeps me from making my Droid the best that it can be, either by not including their ROM in a public app that consolidates all of them, or not including every feature they possibly can in their ROM as an option for me to select & enjoy,
IS being a douche for the simple reason that they're not giving me what I want.
Know what'd fix all this?
No more free ROMs! Buy a ROM like you buy an app. (We all know how much better a ROM is than most apps, value wise.)
You don't see many piss-fests breaking out about someone stealing someone else's app and making it better.
This'll probably be deleted, just like my previous diatribes about forum behavior here. I don't care though, so long as even just one member gets to read it.
