Public post would be cool.

Edit:
Curiosity got the better of me, here's the rant. Warning: Not safe for work, but one hell of a good and hilarious read esp. line 42

Farewell qwerty, thank you for all your hard work.

jesus. ! I dont agree with the above (just installed and skimmed over rant)

festivalnut | # 13 | 2010-08-04, 02:49 | Report

i'm not going to install this just for the rant, for 2 reasons

1) i dont need the app
2) installing a closed-source unverified app from someone who seems to have recently developed a rather large grudge against the target handset's manufacturer seems a little... risky

(no offence qwerty, i'm sure you understand the concern!)

Don't install it. You can read the rant without installing. I can't post it here because it would be rapidly moderated into oblivion, but I can give the instructions for people to read it:

One your N900 if you have the proper tools installed (less, wget, strings) or on your preferred GNU/Linux distribution:

Code:

wget 'http://talk.maemo.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=12701&d=1280863675' -O rant.deb
mkdir contents
cd contents
dpkg-deb --extract ../rant.deb .
strings usr/bin/extended-locked-media-control| less

Page down a few times and you'll see the long rant. It's fun.

I decided to do a Nokia here and make an application that would really be suited to customisation by its users but I released it as a closed source app, instead. My thoughts are also to be found in the application, too. Goodbye

Adiós dude...

I just got a slice a pizza and poured a Morgan and coke and will check this out... sounds like it will be entertaining.

If you are out of here I gotta say thanks for getting me involved in Maemo back in the day. Regardless of the easter egg, you will always be one of my heroes.

I'll leave you with some helpful advice that someone once gave me when I was about your age. When it's time, perhaps you will pass it down too...

"Stay away from the brown acid."

Good luck in all your endeavors dude and don't let anybody take or waste your time..

Well can I say I am really sad? I thought we were here for fun, mainly. Not to ruin our lives on tablets and phones, and closed sources.
Qwerty12, you've been a great presence here, a light, believe it or not. You did it because you liked it and your competence, your passion and your helpfulness were absolutely clear to everybody. This place is going to lose a good part of its soul.
But then, man, if you feel like that, I guess you better leave.
I - for me - won't forget you

I'm going to second Texrat's note on your complete and total lack of tact with your immature and excessively vulgar rant.

Perhaps on your way out you could have not tied yourself to such a crude flipping of the bird to people here, especially considering the good work you've done.
