"Tehnoetic" is now Technoethical: Hooray!
Glad to see that the Romania-based hardware with fully-free software retailer has changed its name from "Tehnoetic" which looked like a misspelling to "Technoethical" which is much better.
Glad to see that you are excited! I am as well! https://tehnoetic.com/ will redirect to https://technoethical.com very soon too.
I've just submitted the support request to change the forum username Tehnoetic to Technoethical: https://trisquel.info/en/issues/22402
Any admin reading this? :-D
Sweet! Now I just need to new stickers for my 'tehnoetic' X200 tablet :)
Am I the only one who really liked the name Tehnoetic?
I liked it, too. This one feels a bit too “English” compared to it. :P
Yes, it sounded better. It was one of a kind.
How about placing a 'technowhatever' add on the Trisquel website? That way I could avoid reading continuously about it inside threads. :)
@IrishUSA: Thanks for bringing the news! We've realized that it's difficult for people to remember the spelling and type in correctly the name "Tehnoetic". We've seen it in the Trisquel forum and other free software forums/mailing lists many times: Technoetic, Technoethic, Technoethics :-) Since our name is composed of two pretty international words, technology and ethics, we've decided it's not worth fixating over the Romanian spelling of these two words, while people have a hard time finding our website and referencing us.
@KurtisHanna: We're almost done rebranding and the redirection tehnoetic.com -> technoethical.com will be the cherry on the cake :-)
@david: Thank you very much for promptly changing the username to Technoethical.
@BenTheMoose: We'll make sure to include the new Technoethical stickers for X200 Tablet in the package for your next order! ;-)
@pfm @Tirifto @loldier: We're happy to see supporters being nostalgic after the Romanian spelling of our name and we can't thank you enough for the nice words. However, we ship worldwide and since English is the language known by most people, and Romanian so little known, we had to make the change. FWIW, "Technoethical" is a 50% longer name than "Tehnoetic". :-D We'll keep renewing the original domain name tehnoetic.com for backward compatibility.
@SuperTramp83: Thanks for suggesting it! It's something we'd been thinking about and it would be great if it can be made space for a Technoethical ad on the Trisquel website. We'll make it a priority to work with the Trisquel Project on making this happen.
