Что мы видим? Прошлый (2023) учебный год привёл к значительному скачку цен на квартиры где-то с 22к до 30к, что в принципе вполне сезонно. И этот пик не сошёл до сих пор! Более того, с апреля 2024 пошёл ещё один скачок цен, в этот раз вызванный, я так понимаю, подорожавшими ипотеками. Скоро будет ещё скачок, вызванный новым учебным годом, а в ноябре будет ещё один из-за КФУ. Полагаю, близость саммита ШОС не даёт ценам упасть.

Что имеет. Средняя цена -- 35 килорублей за однокомнатную квартиру. Исторический максимум! Вот за такую цену примерно придётся мне снимать...

Useless idea that makes sense.

Ladybird the browser now targets Linux and Mac only. This is somewhat sad but I welcome this change. Now I can finally try Ladybird for real. I wonder what will happen to SerenityOS though.

Collection of encrypted correspondence between the compiler and various correspondents, in approximately 150 alphabets, accompanied by transcriptions of the letters in Arabic. The compiler cites Shihāb al-Dīn al-Jindī al-ʻAlāʼī, Burhān al-Dīn al-Qudsī, and Taqī al-Dīn Muḥammad ibn Jaʻfar al-Ḥusaynī as authorities for some of the alphabets. The manuscript is incomplete, lacking its beginning and end. Occasional marginal notes. Some worm damage in margins.

• The right to use the software at your own discretion

• The right to study the software

• The right to redistribute the software, including with modifications

• The obligation to keep those four rights, effectively keeping the software in the commons.

The Screenless Office is a system for working with media and networks without using a pixel-based display. It is an artistic operating system. The office presents a radically alternative form of everyday human interaction with media. It is constructed using free/libre/open hard- and software components, especially for print, databases, web-scraping and tangible interaction. Currently, it exists as a working prototype with software "bureaus" which allow a user to read and navigate news, web sites and social media entirely with the use of various printers for output and a barcode scanner for input. While our existing software allows for interesting new ways of consuming media, we are currently working to expand the system to make it capable of publishing content and thereby, enabling a provocative possibility for active participation in contemporary social life.

They haven't really got anything to show, and the project seems to be abandoned. And using so much paper, I don't know, seems not so good. But cool concept! I want to learn more, but how?
