zloubida@sh.itjust.worksOPMto Typewriters@lemmy.cafe•A Marxist Valentine: the Marx Adventure children's toy typewriter | The Typewriter RevolutionEnglish1·3 days agoYes! And the story continues: according to a blogpost that Polt cites in his own, Mario Bellini cites the Adventure as an inspiration for his Olivetti Lettera 35. But it may have been a way for Bellini not to recognize his debt to Ettore Sottsass, the creator of the Valentine…
zloubida@sh.itjust.worksto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•US Congressmen praying inside the House of RepresentativesEnglish1·3 days agoEh, no? The transgressions are named in Amos 2:4-12; it’s the slavery, the way they treat the poor, the greed, and the incorporation of polytheistic practices like sacred prostitution.

zloubida@sh.itjust.worksto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•US Congressmen praying inside the House of RepresentativesEnglish7·4 days agoI hate, I despise your feasts, and I can’t stand your solemn assemblies. Take away from me the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps. But let justice roll on like rivers, and righteousness like a mighty stream.
Amos 5:21;23-24
zloubida@sh.itjust.worksOPMto Typewriters@lemmy.cafe•Saving an 85 Year Old Typewriter 1939 Antique Restoration | the typewritten wordEnglish2·4 days agoThat’s perfectly understandable; I watched this video without any account though. I downloaded the video, but it seems too heavy to be sent in Lemmy; if you know a good way to distribute the file, I’ll be happy to send it to you!
Never fuck a linguist.

zloubida@sh.itjust.worksto Cars - For Car Enthusiasts@lemmy.world•Can any of you confirm accuracy? English342·7 days agoIt’s not only that. There was a shift in the 70s because plastic became easier to industrially use, and it replaced more sturdy materials like metal. And after that came the electronicization of production, now electronic is less durable then mechanic. The neoliberal revolution made the salaries grow slower than before. Add to that planned obsolescence… all that opened the way for cheaper and less reliable production. Every decade since produced less and less durable things… There’s a reaction now, but as the salaries are still low, it’s a hard fight.
zloubida@sh.itjust.worksto France•Le livre "Petits coloriages pour préparer ton avenir" de Guillaume Meurice et Fakir probablement généré par IA.Français12·7 days agoJ’apprécie particulièrement le paragraphe final, qui est in fine le principal problème :
Non, ce n’est ni rigolo ni charmant de vous voir revendiquer votre inculture numérique comme un trophée : vous passez votre temps à parler des ravages de l’ubérisation ? Eh bien l’IAgen c’est la vitesse supérieure ! C’est ce que vont se prendre dans la tronche, ou se prennent DÉJÀ dans la tronche, des dizaines de milliers de travailleurs et travailleuses – dans le graphisme, mais pas seulement, loin de là. L’incendie est là, on n’a pas le temps d’attendre 10 ans que vous daignez enfin vous y intéresser pour faire des articles sur les cendres !
zloubida@sh.itjust.worksto Hardware@lemmy.world•Maxell MXCP-P100 is a portable cassette player with modern features like Bluetooth and USB-C - LiliputingEnglish1·8 days agoThat’s often true with new models of old technology. It’s the same with mechanical typewriters: there are still new ones constructed and they are far from ugly; but if you want to actually use one, run far away and buy a vintage one.

zloubida@sh.itjust.worksOPMto Typewriters@lemmy.cafe•Episode 59 - A Chat with Cody McCullin | Austin Typewriter, Ink.'s PodcastEnglish1·9 days agoGlad you liked it. I didn’t have time to listen to this one yet, but I generally love this podcast. It’s always informative, but quite relaxing too, like listening to two friends small-talking about their common passion.
It’s a beautiful thing! I truly have a soft spot for machines designed in the 50s. Not a hard angle in sight!

Restoring a 1952 Olympia Typewriter | the typewritten wordEnglish2·10 days agoI remark that they apparently did nothing to the platen… but it may be because the goal is more to have a decorative piece than a usable one. It looks like they would have the means to restore the platen too.
Mom was right: there are strange people on the internet.
