Yes! 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…

Eh, 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.

Why Milan?

I 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

That’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.

1 or 18, according to the temperature. No in-between.

It’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.

J’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 !

That’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.

Why stupid? It’s cool to have analog-only things.

Wat ass dëst Geschäft?

It’s a beautiful thing! I truly have a soft spot for machines designed in the 50s. Not a hard angle in sight!

Quelle est cette ignominie ?

In a perfect world, these would be decided not server-side, but client-side by choices made by the browser users.

But our world is not perfect.

Enough Lemmy for today.

I never watched an X-men, nor the old Dune, so for me Patrick Stewart is Jean-Luc Picard.

I’m not him, but I agree with you :-)
