It just occurred to me that the phases in waterfall software development could just as well have been named after the stages of grief:
1. denial (requirements and design)
2. anger (implementation)
3. bargaining (functional testing)
4. depression (alpha & beta testing) and
5. acceptance (release)

someone over on bsky asked me if anyone knows of any active Brazilian-focused instances that are good (active and well moderated)
if you know any please reply and i'll make sure your suggestion gets passed along
Is it just me or do folks see issues with long list based explanations as being potentially LLM generated?

Can you boost this please? I'm sort of load-testing / trying to reproduce a bug, and I think I need a bit more traffic to do so. Thank you!

DIY, pirated medicine is becoming increasingly accessible and easier to make due to automation, new tech, and new software developed and released by Four Thieves Vinegar Collective:

My cats have decided that my morning meetings are the best time to get super needy and meow non-stop.
Anyone wanna hire me to touch computers for your bioengineering project? :P I specialize in managing information flow and databases, particularly in decentralized / distributed setups. e.g. agregating data from different groups without needing one central database.

I had to go out to buy a specific version of the iPad in order for my kids to be able to do their homework.
Educational policies aside, it was a sad reminder of what we are losing when we let the web be displaced by propietary apps.

tech venting
Betterbird has been randomly crashing on top of no longer consistently logging into my outlook email. I fucking hate the state of email and especially wish I hadn't tied so much with microsoft when I was younger.
My poor mastodon server reached a full disk since it seems my automated cleanup script wasn't running. Luckily I had a file allocatex to give me extra space for recovery and I let it run overnight. :P 75 GB of random attachmentd I probably have never seen. I think stuff like that should be loaded on demand tbh

Be the change you want to see in the world. Start by changing your editor settings from spaces to tabs.
They also frame it as the plot of The Matrix which is hilarious to me.
God I love The Matrix 😭💜
S15E08 of south park is so good. (spoilers) there's a bit where Stan gets "diagnosed" as aspergers and they show how to world sees them but then they show what it's actually like to be one. As an autistic person it hits home.
Imagine if physical goods sellers made EULAs like software companies. "Oh you bought a can of pepsi? Yeah we can steal your organs now and you've revoked your personhood"
For real if TVs could apply ai powered video filters to whatever is being displayed I'd jump on that shit instantly. I want to watch garfield with the filter that gives everyone a chiseled jawline
7. A head mounted display with an Android TV box you can wear as a neckband. It can do everything my rokid max can and more. I could install termux to do dev on it or RDP into other boxes.

When the company calls their home appliances "smart", what I hear is:
- they spent money on features I don't care about
- those features will be worse than standalone devices but will drive them out of market (looking at you TVs)
- the appliance is more likely to break
- my data is likely being sold to advertisers
- when the company loses interest in it and cut support, I will need to buy a new device
So no, I don't want "smart" home appliances.
