One can't judge a relationship on an image alone but… there's a few redflags on this one. I hope for you they're false alarms.

 

In the world of typecasts, there's a very important place: One Typed Page. There, everyone can send a photo of a typewritten page, and it will be published. Yes, it's that simple, and a good way to try typecasting! Here, the harvest of the day.

 

There's a new place in the Lemmyverse for the community of typewriter lovers: !typecasts@sh.itjust.works.

This community is dedicated to blogs and websites which publish scans of typewritten pages, a.k.a. typecasts. And if you want to publish a typecast directly uploading a photo of a page you typed, you can!

!typewriters@lemmy.cafe will welcome posts about typewriters; !typecasts@sh.itjust.works posts written with typewriters; and posts written with and about typewriters will be welcomed on both!

Typecast FAQ (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by zloubida@lemmy.world to c/typecasts@sh.itjust.works
 

What's to/a typecast?

To typecast, to put it simply, is to publish online a text (a blogpost, poetry, a short story, …) which contain partly or in totality a photo of a typewritten text.

A typecast is the result of this publication.

Why do such a thing?

Why not?

More seriously, there's a few reasons to do that. One of them is simply to showcase one's collection of typewriters. An other is because typewritten texts can become artistic creations by themselves. Or because typewritten texts tend to be more raw, less polished, maybe more authentic than regular blogposts. It's also just an excuse to use our beloved typewriter(s)!

What's the typosphere?

The typosphere is the online community of typewriter enthusiasts. Some typecast, others don't.

On the lemmyverse, the typosphere is represented by three communities:

It's a difficult debate, complicated again in the case of the Free France that the institutions against Vichy always controlled a part of the French Empire.

However, my first comment was more because I understood the way you worded your first message as “the Nazis destroyed the Vichy regime” when the Vichy regime was established by the Nazis.

[–] zloubida@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yes, but there's a conflict on its legitimacy. The question is: had the National Assembly the power to pass the constitutional law of 1940 or not? For Vichy, of course yes, and then the Third Republic stopped there. But for the Free France (the political branch of the Résistance), this law was illegal, and then the Third Republic was still the legitimate form of the French government. That's why in 1944, at the Liberation, De Gaulle didn't proclaimed a new Republic, but passed an ordinance reestablishing the Third one.

 

Also, a good typewriter-like computer keyboard!

I did the contrary.

Small correction in an otherwise very interesting message:

The previous French state (Vichy France) was destroyed by Nazi Germany.

Vichy France is the result of the destruction of the Third Republic by Nazi Germany. But de jure, the Third Republic's constitution was still legitimate until the new constitution of 1946.

I believe the US constitution is the second oldest still valid constitution of the world, after the constitution of San Marino. I'm not sure it's a good thing though: I tend to believe that every generation should rewrite their constitution.

In a homebrew setting still in construction, Volapük is the language of a secret society.

Esperanto is more like Common. A language that everyone speaks, more or less, can only be something from an imperialist power or a neutral ground created for that.

Me, yesterday: "I shouldn't put that booklet with the discounts to show at the checkout in the back pocket of my jeans, it'll fall out and I'll be in trouble."

Me: do it anyway.

Me, at the checkout: "Fuck, I lost the booklet"
