Revolution Software

A new essay from AI company Imbue argues that personal computing is due for a second revolution, saying modern computers have drifted from empowering individual users and calling for tools that give people more direct control over their own machines and data. The piece, published on Imbue's ideas blog, is drawing attention and debate among technology readers about what 'Personal Computing 2.0' should look like.

A feature discusses a renewed wave of interest in open-source software, framing it as a new revolution in how software is built and shared. The piece highlights the growing movement around freely available, community-developed code as an alternative to proprietary products. Beyond the framing, no specific projects, organisations or events are named, so details of what is driving the moment remain limited.
