BodyCulture··on Microsoft said it lost weeks of security logs for its customers' cloud products
I was laughing recently when at some place they started to install MS software on all Linux machines to integrate them into Azure. At that point you should just stop and think for a while about it. Didn’t you go for Linux because you wanted to have a reliable system?
BodyCulture··on Nonfree software found in GNU Boot releases again, many distros affected
And reality proves over and over again that open source firmware and hardware are very much needed.
BodyCulture··on Svelte 5 Released
There is no way around trying yourself. Stop wasting time asking people for their opinions about frameworks and start building your own insights from first hand experience.
BodyCulture··on Possible futures for the Ethereum protocol, part 2: The Surge
Why? Please explain and add some sources that support your thesis, thanks!
BodyCulture··on Possible futures for the Ethereum protocol, part 2: The Surge
Your words are interesting, but they need a strong source of truth to be relevant. Would you please like to add an URL that supports your thesis? Thanks!
BodyCulture··on Asterinas: OS kernel written in Rust and providing Linux-compatible ABI
Sometimes we just don’t know if a person that started something did know how hard it would be or not. Sometimes it is not possible to know how hard things can be or not.

Generally this is a very interesting question hat could be discussed in a very long thread, but still the reader will not get any value from it.

BodyCulture··on Show HN: One – A new React framework unifying web, native and local-first
The crypto coin world is based on an Orwellian abuse of words / meanings.
BodyCulture··on GnuCash 5.9
Cool, thanks for sharing, but is there no better way to automate GnuCash, eg with a Bash or Python script?
BodyCulture··on BookStack: Simple and Free Wiki Software
Would be great if we could actually export a book as pdf or in a format that could be printed or worked on in book publishing software. I could not find that option, is it available?
BodyCulture··on I Am Tired of AI
I would like to know how does AI help us in solving the climate crisis! I have read some articles about weather predictions getting better with the help of AI, but that is just the monitoring, I would like to see more actual solutions.

Do you have any recommendations?

Thanks!

BodyCulture··on Microsoft's new Outlook client moves your email to the cloud
Okay, so this happens not only for MS mail accounts, thanks for this! I probably could not even imagine that they are basically copying private data to their servers!

I don’t understand why people are still using their products, I am using Linux since many years and see no problem at all with that. Plus Apple for phone, but not sure about their privacy promises…

BodyCulture··on Microsoft's new Outlook client moves your email to the cloud
The website is forcing me to disable ad blocking, but I am just using Orion browser and am happy with it, so can not see the content.

So like IMAP?
BodyCulture··on Twenty Years of FM Synthesis Inside Ableton Live
How did you get that knowledge? Everyone?
BodyCulture··on Twenty Years of FM Synthesis Inside Ableton Live
And it is stable, this always shocked me when I tried out some other software for music production that it actually crashed and killed my project!

You will not have that bad experience with Ableton!

BodyCulture··on Twenty Years of FM Synthesis Inside Ableton Live
If only it finally was available for Linux!
BodyCulture··on The Pragmatic Programmer for Machine Learning (2023)
I can haz PDF, please…

Don’t eat me!

BodyCulture··on Authenticated Boot and Disk Encryption on Linux (2021)
Have you been able to do a review of the code?

If yes: please share.

If not: why not?

Thanks!

BodyCulture··on Show HN: Skip – Build native iOS and Android apps from a single Swift codebase
Your criticism is very interesting, but instead of just presenting some abstract ideas of potential problems it would give much more impact to your argument to present some hard evidence that your way of thinking is better.

Can you show an example of an app that will generate more problems for developers with this approach than with other platforms?

BTW do not forget to add some possibilities to pay you for your work with such a publication, I would certainly be willing to pay for a good in-depth analysis.

BodyCulture··on Leveraging AI for efficient incident response
Can we see the recording of this webinar somewhere?
BodyCulture··on Surfer: Centralize all your personal data from online platforms
„Centralize“ is a privacy anti-pattern. Max centralisation should be your keepass file.
BodyCulture··on Surfer: Centralize all your personal data from online platforms
Will you use a central trusted, international nonprofit clearinghouse and privacy grants/permissions repository that is run by the government of China / Iran / [state]?

It is important for privacy activists to understand that „centralised“ is an anti-pattern for privacy.

Instead we need security and control over our data on devices and internet platforms guaranteed by the law.

BodyCulture··on Uv 0.3 – Unified Python packaging
Probably will need a K8S management cluster to manage your python project management tools that will of course need another cluster manager for managing the project management tools…
BodyCulture··on Rye and Uv: August Is Harvest Season for Python Packaging
Would you please publish an analysis that supports your first statement about bad design, that would be helpful and interesting!

Also please consider writing some articles about typical packaging problems in Python that you come across your work.

Please also consider setting up some way of sending you money to support this interesting work!

BodyCulture··on Rye and Uv: August Is Harvest Season for Python Packaging
Is there any chance that computer scientists will analyse the software distribution situation for several language eco systems and finally find a general solution so that we can stop wasting so much time with these things?

It feels like we were driving cars since 50 years and still haven’t figured out a way to distribute gas.

Is there any research going on? The situation is totally crazy, especially for python.

I would like to see this done by top scientists. I would love to never have to spend any time again on the newest packaging tool.

What is the core of this problem and why is it not solved?

BodyCulture··on US hospital told family their daughter had checked out when in fact she'd died
I recently had an opportunity to learn something about software used in hospitals and it was a shock. Are you laughing about the JS or web developer meme as a symbol for clueless people? Well, I need to tell you that every JS or web dev is a code guru compared to the guys I have seen in medical / hospital software.

While your web dev has a very good idea about infrastructure and code maintenance these guys are usually clueless about CI, git, secrets management etc. but still they now all want to migrate their stuff to azure, because it’s cool… to say the truth I didn’t understand the reason why they want to. People that are basically relying on Microsoft wizard based development.

Shocking was that this was not only some bureaucracy software, but systems that are used for actual operations and patient management.

I guess that many people died already because windows developers but nobody did a systematic investigation so we don’t know.

BodyCulture··on Zen, a Arc-like open-source browser based on the Firefox engine
Firefox is the only browser that freezes Ubuntu after some extensive internet use, especially with video watching. Since many years and still today.
