Men Are Included

Recently there has been published an article against a gender specific language in the famous German weekly “Die Welt am Sonntag”. Dealing with gender adequate writings is a challenge in English and big problem in German. From the viewpoint of a German native speaker, my German text argues in favor of gender-specific language.

Salon Orchestra

Actually, every year I visit one of the Wies-Orchestra-Weeks realized by Werkgemeinschaft Musik. About some of them, I have already reported, most recently in 2016. But this year all these wonderful opportunities have been canceled – thanks to Covid-19. Personally, it has been sadly, but objectively it was necessary. But now?

Atom and vi(m): a dream comes true

Ich liebe den vi(m), insbesondere wenn ich in einem Repository arbeite. Es ist so leicht, schnell mal eben eine Datei per Konsole zu ändern, so einfach alle Trumps durch Biden zu ersetzen: :1,$ s/[Tt]rump/Biden/g.

And the ‘spell-check’ for German-English texts still doesn’t work. Grrr. So, it is time to conquer new frontiers: everyone is already talking about ‘Atom‘. Let us give it a try even if – on Ubuntu 04/20 – we have to circumnavigate some cliffs. → …

YOCTO, IoT, and the GPLv3

IoT gadgets often only offer interfaces which do not allow to inspect or to modify their software. YOCTO tries to build specific software of IOT gadgets. And the GPLv3 requires that GPLv3 licensed software must be replaceable. So, we might ask, how YOCTO deals with this contradiction? → …
