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)
Is it just me or do folks see issues with long list based explanations as being potentially LLM generated?

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
I just realized what I hate about modern chat: it's not a small window on the screen anymore, it's *the whole screen*.
Discord (et al) is barely usable in a small window, whereas AOL Instant Messenger was *very* usable in a small window as you went about your browsing.
For me, smaller window = fewer distractions.
They also frame it as the plot of The Matrix which is hilarious to me.
God I love The Matrix 😭💜
