  1. "The View Toward the City," Torsten Jovinge, 1930.

    Jovinge (1898-1936) was a Swedish Modernist painter who had a brief but influential career.

    He called his style "Purism" and was seen to be influenced by Cubism, with his use of colorful shapes in his work. But rather than distorting his subjects, or playing with perspective, he represents in his own way. He breaks them down into shapes but still retains some shading and texture.

    His works were popular in his home country and were an influence on Swedish Modernism. He did a number of works set in various parts of Europe. He began painting and developed his style in the 1920s, traveling in Paris and other areas, and staying mostly in Sweden and Denmark in the 30s.

    In 1936, he decided to travel to Morocco to paint, and during a stopover in Seville he was found shot to death in his hotel room. Spanish authorities, at the time caught up in the Spanish Civil War, claimed it was suicide, but the general agreement is that it was murder for unknown reasons.

  2. Что-то всё чаще стали появляться #Linux планшеты

    Вот сразу два прмера:
    #Purism за $999
    puri.sm/products/librem-11/

    #Starlite за $800 (с клавиатурой)
    de.starlabs.systems/pages/star

    Думаю связано в основном с двумя факторами:
    - #Gnome юзабелен ан тач устройствах (так себе но лучше других)
    - Появились энергоэффективные и достаточно мощные #intel CPU для адекватной работы на таких устройствах

    Однако вижу здесь закономерность, что #Linux так и не смог пока нормально освоить рынок #ARM SoC. И думается мне всё из-за драйверов, которые вообще никак не открываются.

    Да, есть #Fydetab Duo за $499 fydetabduo.com/ на Rockchip RK3588S . (По мощности в Multicore он кстати весьма сопоставим с N200 но почти в 2 раза хуже в Single Core тестах)

    + у Linux есть другая ОГРОМНАЯ проблема с мобильными устройствами - неверотяный жор батареи. И хочется посмотреть, сколько такие устройства будут реально жить, особенно в сравнении с Android устройствами
