deskthority

That won't work anyway because of the keys around the trackpoint?

Those gesture pads sound really cool. I really liked that about the Fingerworks Touchstream, especially for cursor movement.

Almost qHack... getting there.

Hmm, I still have that NIB one somewhere. If anyone wants it PM me with your bid.

Well I'm guesstimating with zero experience or knowledge on the subject whatsoever - but this particular hurdle has never stopped people making assumptions before, so why should it stop me? - that this forum probably sold in the low 4 digits number. I'm not interested that much in what duck got for...

Lame. No F-DataHand.

Your ll kerning is better!

Are those who donated money without wanting to become a club member allowed to ask where the money went? Sure, when there was no successor to run the club, the club members voted 100% in favor for me to run it privately owned, and I gave the option for previous donators to ask their money back, whi...

Said the man who liked the free parking spot without doing anything for it while talking entitled poison. Enjoy your free parking!

In that case you have to take your opinion to the new owners as I should not attempt to rule from the grave.

I could be totally wrong, but the way I understood it, was that the buying a pack of cigarettes line wasn't about you, but about Oliver/keyboardjoy. Rereading that you might be right. In any case they also didn't buy it like a pack of cigarettes like it's nothing, it doesn't work that way outside t...

It is a little bit more complicated than deciding to grab a pack of cigarettes of course. This was my love and I put 10 years into it. You don't even. I could mention I didn't sell for optimal price between high bidders and I gifted part of the price money. So yes it was about money but no it wasn't...

But more importantly, how's retirement webwit?

I got into hiking and opened an online dog shop! I still have an idle keyboard collection which I really need to sell on eBay for market price. *ducks*

It's ok, I understand and it was not necessarily a bad thing. Warning: bad analogy. It was like a tennis club with the members only interested in playing tennis. Unlike a tennis club were the people running it think they are the most important with all their bullshit. But also: anyone interested in ...

It's worse, I gave DT to the community but no one cared to run it.

How much did web hosting cost for deskthority at its peak? I've been curious about that.

viewtopic.php?f=40&t=14804

You sound very entitled for someone who joined in 2021. DT was community owned, I put 10 years in it, but almost no one gave a fuck to help out and those who did all ran off ghosting me. Except matt3o. After that, no one helped matt3o out. I only care about his opinion regarding this sale. If you do...

This is a silly conversation. First people worry Deskthority might be shut down. Yeah right according to the same principle I guess when you lose interest in a keyboard, you don't pass it on for value but destroy it and trash it. Why? Then people complain about boilerplate terms and conditions like ...

@webwit, I signed up on March 2020, how come my information was transferred without my consent?

OneCommerce isn't a third party, they became the new first party.

Well I can say wiki and user content was included, it was communicated before. I don't know what happens if a future owner would toss that away. For sure with wiki content if someone would change the license, whether they legally could or not, you can still copy and use the content under the old ope...

And they wouldn't do silly stuff like place lots of trackers or ads or disrupt the community otherwise, which they indeed didn't. Most probably by their inactivity, but hey it's something. Does that same contract term preclude their ability to simply sell it off to someone else who won't honor that...

it's almost like selling out a community to a bunch of dweeby get rich quick blockchain man asset strippers was a terrible idea webwit I can't comment yet on the details of how the sale happened and my motivations why I picked them over others because of a non-disclosure agreement still in effect. ...

2. As of 27th December 2022, two directors were terminated from Onecommerce Services UK ltd. One of these was Oliver, better known as Keyboardjoy.

These are exactly the two people who were involved in buying DT. The other director was more senior.

According to the Internet it's the CETIN building in Prague and they are transferring calls. Maybe it's a Tesla or some other Eastern Bloc computer.

What a coincidence. That's exactly how I'm sitting among my keyboards.

Displaywriter, nice to see the complete system. Includes free toaster.
