<p>Raw numbers are perhaps not enough to get across just how bad the centralisation of the Fediverse by mastodon.social is. I've done a chart to show this visually, hopefully this will make the situation clearer?</p><p>Given the circumstances, getting people to join other servers except mastodon.social would greatly help decentralise the Fediverse. It's no longer big vs medium vs small, it's more like supergiant deathstar mastodon.social vs everyone else 😞 </p><p><a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/mastodonsocial/" rel="tag">#MastodonSocial</a></p>

And now that I think about it, that makes it two years since I started my <a href="/tags/friendica/" rel="tag">#Friendica</a> instance. I've been on the <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> for much longer of course (including other <a href="/tags/activitypub/" rel="tag">#ActivityPub</a> apps I've hosted here such as <a href="/tags/akkoma/" rel="tag">#Akkoma</a> and <a href="/tags/firefish/" rel="tag">#Firefish</a> ), but still, happy <a href="/tags/fediversary/" rel="tag">#Fediversary</a> to me!

<p>Recently, we were asked why we, a knowledge & community focused charity, were posting to celebrate cultural and religious holidays. </p><p>We believe that the Social Web has the potential to be the most diverse space on the entire web.

<p>What Is The Fediverse?</p><p>If you’re not familiar with the name “<a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a>” – that’s okay. It is is an open society of web services that is already serving millions of people all around the world. They do this through a common language called <a href="/tags/activitypub/" rel="tag">#ActivityPub</a> that lets news and events flow from one site to the next. So, instead of checking in to 5 or 6 different corporate sites, you can find, follow, like, and share across many, many sources – all from your own, singluar Fediverse profile.</p>

<p>明快打字机的前世今生 <img src="https://eggplant.place/media/emoji/gts.feddit.social/maodie_ciallo.png" class="emoji" alt=":maodie_ciallo:" title=":maodie_ciallo:"></p><p>我一定要造一部打字机,使我可以真正的打字</p><p>——林语堂</p><p>今天突然看到何同学在YouTube上2025年10月14日发布的视频,这个视频其实在2023年就看过了,在今天又遇见,仿佛在看一个全新的视频一样。</p><p>我找到了明快打字机的专利网站:<a href="https://patents.google.com/patent/US2613795A/en" rel="nofollow">patents.google.com</a></p><p>三级滚筒系统</p><p>大油桶上装着6个中滚筒,每个中滚筒装着6个小滚筒,就如图3所示(图三、图四)<br>每个小滚筒有八面<br>每面上又有20个字模(图5),而明快是29个字模(图6明确数出来了确实是29)<br>所以明快可以打出668*29=8352个字模</p><p>魔眼装置</p><p>要打“呼”字,先打“口”再打“竖钩”,然后就会到小滚筒的某一节上,前面说了每个小滚筒有八面,所以一般有八个有“口”有“竖钩”的汉字,(所以我觉得6629*8=8352更符合直觉)这使用了林语堂自己发明的”上下型检字法“(图8)</p><p>我觉得更奇妙的是还有个预览滚筒(图7)<br>大滚筒上处于打印位置的八个字;<br>就是预览滚筒上被放大的八个字;<br>然后按键盘下的”87651234“8个按键中的一个,就可以选择正确的字。</p><p>声旁+形旁</p><p>8352个字模里,有7000左右是可以直接打出来的,剩下的是偏旁(70声旁+1300个形旁)<br>比如情,通过打声旁”竖心旁“和形旁”青“<br>所以这样就可以很轻松的通过组合打出字!甚至可以打出生僻字,自创汉字!<br>猜, 睛, 精, 倩, 清, 请, 晴, 情,等等等等<br>所以经过简单排列组合就是70X1300=91000个字</p><p>林语堂在1947年发明的明快打字机的故事。(视频前期主题)<br>这台打字机能够打9万个字,解决了汉字数量多的问题。它通过三级滚筒结构和上下行检字法实现。(视频中期主题)<br>尽管这台打字机设计巧妙,但由于成本过高,未能量产,林语堂也因此负债。(视频后期主题)</p><p>注意:何同学在YouTube的视频中删减添加了很多的片段</p><p>关于明快打字机下落消息(2025.1)</p><p>明快打字机原型被找到</p><p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1E2p33b25u/" rel="nofollow">Facebook原地址</a><br><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/typewriters/comments/1i95mdq/the_lone_prototype_of_the_mingkwai_chinese/" rel="nofollow">reddit-唯一一台明快中文打字机原型机已被找到</a></p></p><p>按照reddit的说法:</p><p>这台打字机是纳尔逊·费利克斯在他妻子祖父家的地下室里发现的,他首先将其发布到了一个 Facebook 群组中。<br>明快打字机是第一台使用键盘的中文打字机。它由林语堂发明,于1947年5月22日首次生产。它是当时速度最快的中文打字机,熟练的打字员平均每分钟可以打出约50个字,即使是未经训练的用户也能达到每分钟20个字的速度。<br>林德森委托卡尔·E·克鲁姆公司制造了一台定制原型机。在研发过程中,他背负了巨额债务,最终未能将打字机商业化。1948 年,默根塔勒·林诺打字机公司从林德森手中买下了这款打字机的专利权。该公司也收购了那台原型机,据说后来将其丢弃了。</p><p>视频信息(2025.11.29)</p><p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/-IhuFgiWNS4?si=kj4LOgDkJMgsIRH3" rel="nofollow">Youtube We Built a Chinese Typewriter.. 1,105,163次观看</a><br><a href="https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Sk4y1471G/" rel="nofollow">Bilibili【何同学】我们做了一台中文打字机... 1675.1万</a></p></p><p>维基百科:</p><p><p><a href="https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%B8%AD%E6%96%87%E6%89%93%E5%AD%97%E6%A9%9F#%E6%98%8E%E5%BF%AB" rel="nofollow">中文打字機#明快</a></p></p><p>其他图片来源:</p><p><p><a href="https://news.stanford.edu/stories/2025/05/mingkwai-chinese-typewriter-prototype-stanford-libraries" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="news.stanford.edu/stories/2025/05/mingkwai-chinese-typewriter-prototype-stanford-libraries"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">news.stanford.edu/stories/2025</span><span class="invisible">/05/mingkwai-chinese-typewriter-prototype-stanford-libraries</span></a><br><a href="https://patents.google.com/patent/US2613795A/en" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="patents.google.com/patent/US2613795A/en"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">patents.google.com/patent/US26</span><span class="invisible">13795A/en</span></a><br><a href="https://tool.yzitc.com/ytb/" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>tool.yzitc.com/ytb/</a><br><a href="https://tool.yzitc.com/bili/" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>tool.yzitc.com/bili/</a></p></p><p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://ovo.st/club/board" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>board</span></a></span> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://ovo.st/club/worldboard" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>worldboard</span></a></span><br><a href="/tags/youtube/" rel="tag">#youtube</a> <a href="/tags/bilibili/" rel="tag">#bilibili</a> <a href="/tags/哔哩哔哩/" rel="tag">#哔哩哔哩</a> <a href="/tags/林语堂/" rel="tag">#林语堂</a> <a href="/tags/linyutang/" rel="tag">#LinYutang</a> <a href="/tags/mingkwai/" rel="tag">#MingKwai</a> <a href="/tags/明快打字机/" rel="tag">#明快打字机</a> <a href="/tags/chinese_typewriter/" rel="tag">#Chinese_typewriter</a> <a href="/tags/patent/" rel="tag">#patent</a> <a href="/tags/何同学/" rel="tag">#何同学</a> <a href="/tags/htx/" rel="tag">#HTX</a> <a href="/tags/techarchaeology/" rel="tag">#TechArchaeology</a> <a href="/tags/mechanicalmarvel/" rel="tag">#MechanicalMarvel</a> <a href="/tags/chinese/" rel="tag">#Chinese</a> <a href="/tags/history/" rel="tag">#History</a> <a href="/tags/fedi/" rel="tag">#fedi</a> <a href="/tags/gotosocial/" rel="tag">#gotosocial</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#mastodon</a></p>

The schedule for the Social Web Developer Room at FOSDEM 2026 is starting to be populated as the speakers confirm their availability. We had a tonne of great submissions for this year's track, and even with double the time from last year, we still had to leave some great talks on the cutting room floor. But we still managed to fit in 24 great talks, large and small. We're going to see some additional events happening as FOSDEM 2026 gets nearer. Watch the #SOCIALWEBFOSDEM hashtag for more news […]
