سازنده Cydia یعنی Jay Freeman (saurik) کتابی نوشته در مورد :
What It Is Like To Live As An Underground Celebrity
و در اون توضیحاتی راجع به معروفیت در دنیای زیر زمینی داده و زندگی خودش رو تا حدودی تعریف کرده قسمت کوتاهی از این کتاب طولانی به شرح زیر است:
Today, the situation is a little different: I actually get recognized a lot. Sometimes it is kind of cool, sometimes it is really awkward. It mostly, however, comes down to people wanting to ask me the question “so, when’s the next jailbreak coming out?”. I’ve mostly gotten used to the idea that the bartender will ask me this while pouring my club soda, and I’m totally acclimated to the manager of the bank asking me this while approving my wire transfers (often now after the teller had already asked me the same question). I’m only somewhat surprised when the guy at the kitchen appliance store asks me.
I also find myself buying things online more often than going to a store, as I am less likely to be judged about buying something totally normal (like maybe some esoteric cooking equipment, or maybe something that isn’t manly enough for Internet commenters… oh, imagine me purchasing something like a beard trimmer?… sigh). Other times, it is just bothersome in the moment, but doesn’t really matter later: like, I’m more than happy to say that my taste in movies is really far into “romantic comedy”-land, or that I grew up listening to Country music due to my mother (and thereby still quite enjoy it); however, the live judgement that comes from the person at the store knowing exactly who you are and having a bunch of real or even made up context for these things above and beyond the self-evident “somewhat fat guy with a beard” can make them awkward in the moment.
I don’t, however, regret having ended up in a situation as public as I currently am, and by and large my interactions with people (such as yzzr, the OP) have been positive. random people, in actuality, tend to be “cool”, and most of them really just want to know “when is the next jailbreak coming out” (as opposed to complaining about something they feel I did wrong somehow, which is a different situation).
