Ein Windows 11 oder ein MacBook ist heute in vielen Punkten besser geschützt. Die Festplatte ist von Anfang an verschlüsselt, der Fingerabdruck landet im sicheren Chip statt offen auf der SSD, und Programme können nicht einfach alle persönlichen Daten lesen. Eine ehrliche Bestandsaufnahme.

                                                          Pandolin macht in den letzten Tagen ungewöhnlich viel Lärm. Heute deshalb mal etwas Leiseres.

                                                          Ein längerer Text über zwei Figuren der Software-Geschichte, der schon vor den letzten Wellen entstanden ist. Begonnen hat er mit einer ganz kleinen Sache: einem Aufkleber, den ich mir für mein Framework habe drucken lassen. Ein Stop-Schild, leicht modifiziert. Das O ist nicht ganz wie üblich.

                                                          Daraus wurde ein Text über Linus Torvalds und Peter Thiel, über Linux und Palantir Foundry, und über die Frage, welche Linien man eigentlich weiterspeist, wenn man Werkzeuge auswählt.
                                                          Mit Tolkien-Anspielung, mit liberaler Selbstverortung an einer Stelle, an der sie nötig wurde, und mit einem Pandolin, der auf dem Headerbild dem dunkel glühenden Palantír ein Stop-Schild entgegenhält.

                                                          Und auch mit einem klaren Wort darüber, warum ich es für falsch halte, Palantir als Mitarbeiter zu verstärken oder als Partner ins eigene Portfolio zu nehmen. Aus liberal-freiheitlicher Überzeugung, aus beruflicher Erfahrung im Software-Geschäft. Aber primär aus einer ruhigen Abwägung von Nutzen und Risiko, die kein anderes Ergebnis zulässt.

So it seems to be a patent-based license and really risky to implement if you want to keep your actual software open source.

                                                                    Did someone explore alternatives to avoid this? and especially other format which are open source friendly?

Miller) may have contributed code to nvi2? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                                                                                  The genealogy of vi and its various off shoots is vast. I lament that I only created a MacPort for em (editor for mortals, a predecessor to vi) too late for its original author to know of its existence. ;(

They are luckily partly hackable, so I hope we will see what happens here with more alternative firmware (not just the "add-on" on top of the native Kobo OS).
