deskthority

Since I'm getting a lot of emails lately, please let me set the record straight.

Even if I'm flagged as ADMIN, I have nothing to do with the current Deskthority. I don't have any admin access . I can't login to the admin console, I can't moderate, I can't ban, I can't delete accounts. I am at all ...

sex slave trafficking, human sacrifices. Chtulhu worshiping, goat sodomy!

oookay, I didn't want to post about this but months have passed and I'm a bit sad about how things are going. So this is my take if anyone is interested. Sorry for the wall of text...

First. DT needs daily maintenance in the form of moderation/checking accounts/replying to PMs. Also and more ...

I wish someone still wrote reviews... but thanks for your continued work chyros

I made this

So... I did it. This is just a 3d printed prototype, but it's already my daily driver.

I believe it took me about 4 days to get used to the more recessed arrow cluster position and the right shift, but now it's like second nature.

I'll try to work on a PCB next ...

no, the problem is that they sell 1000/2000 base kits, so they don't care anymore about 10 ergodoxes

yeah I know but people don't buy ergodox anymore and Drop is not willing to produce a kit that sells just a dozen copies... times have changed since a few years ago

if they changed server they probably need to make some updates to the visual editor listening IP

If it's in your price range: Motu M2

In my experience, it's the best sound device you can get for that kind of thing right now. If your headphones are not too hard to drive then is also has a very competent headphone amplifier.

Not sure why we should be against something that doesn't impact the forum in any way. If you don't like the blog just don't follow it, keep posting conspiracy theories on the forum.

What keyboardjoy should realize about the blog though is that he is on his own, you can't expect the community to ...

Are you seriously leaving? The site has been in great hands since you took over the software.


I think I already left. I believe I'm still technically admin (I think they just forgot), but I don't do any administration. I don't have access to the server and I don't know what they are going to do ...

tldr: the blog section should really just be a spotlight on useful or pertinent forum content so that folks who don't browse the forums see that stuff and think about joining the forums themselves.


I agree on this.

What I believe the forum misses is a better/easier users engagement especially ...

How long does it take you to decide whether you like a keyboard or not? Rather than get used to a keyboard.


what is that you are looking for in a keyboard? Trying new keyboards for the sake of a fancy design or a weird new switch makes no sense to me.

I'm designing my own keyboard to optimize ...

Probably setting up a deal with Massdrop for the ultimate Deskthority special edition 60% keyboard featuring Cherry MX browns.

you mean kahil brown clones

where are you keyboardjoy?

nothing changed there, it's probably your lonely browser

I'm on a technical forum (3d printing) that has this system since years and absolutely nothing bad happened because of it. When I first registered and posted something informative I got a "like" (I didn't even notice there was a "like" button), I thought it was a kind gesture to a new user. People ...

Archie wrote: 19 Mar 2021, 20:28 While I myself dislike technical / organisational structure of Reddit, I have to disagree. As a member of /r/Trackballs/ I'd say it's pretty much "a forum" - and plenty of useful information is present there actually.

it's the exception not the norm

fortunately it's not up to me anymore. what a relief!

you can't remotely compare reddit to a forum community. On reddit you need instant gratification, you don't search for actual information just quick mindless entertainment. Also it's *their* community, they like waffles so be it, who are you to say that a symbolics is more important? Personally I ...

this is stuff for "gaming laptops" I don't think there's anything particularly interesting to see here

I'm still waiting for the clicky low profile they promised years ago

there, some free SEO

sorry, I don't drink
