If you’d like to learn to program I would consider the SICP [1] more or less the peak of American CS pedagogy (at least as far as beginners go) along with “The Practice of Programming” once you get through that.
I play ukulele, I’m ok at reading music and decent at improv. I learned from Walter Piston’s “Harmony” and some of Adam Neely’s videos.
My main phone is a pine phone so if I don’t pick up when you call the battery is probably dead, the modem is probably dead, or I’m currently swearing at calls/pulseaudio/alsa. I’d strongly recommend sending an email instead.
Dispite what my web page says I’ve stopped uploading my scratch projects to GitHub once I started to understand the basics of collaboration with git. I was using the flamegraph as gamification/motivation but it doesn’t work as well with feature branch/squash merge workflows so I just keep most things on my VPS until I’m happy with publishing updates.

I'm normally pro free speech but I doubt most normal people would ne too mad if we banned the "oh no" song for a few months.

Calling smartphone equipped teenagers 'digital natives' is a mistake because a smartphone makes you a consumer rather than a native of anything.
If you want a child to become a digital native give them an actual computer instead of a corporate controlled and curated consumer device.
@icedquinn I've always just assumed they do this. I know they're all doing DPI and keylogging, that's just one more thing.
@_xhr_ I still think it's absolutely insane that Apple is censoring Xscreensaver on their platform (iOS) because they're worried about the political thoughts people might have while watching some of the screensavers.

Google Lifts Ban On Political Advertising

@lucifargundam intent is usually how you solve these things: "are the parts there by coincidence or can we prove you intended to build a weapon?" is probably the question a court would try to answer.
@hristo this is part of the problem with E2EE: you have to know the guy on the other end is being as careful as you are. That's why no one cares that IRC is unencrypted for example.

I've started publishing example config files for my Mastodon-authenticated #XMPP messaging service, using #ejabberd.
https://git.chinwag.org/chinwag/mastodon-xmpp-setup
This is intended for use in conjunction with the ejabberd external auth script provided here:
https://git.chinwag.org/chinwag/ejabberd-auth-mastodon
If anyone wants to add this to their instance setup, feel free to hit me up. After talking @M0YNG through the https://mastodon.radio deployment recently I think I've got a good start on putting together a proper guide.
Unpopular Opinion, maybe offensive?
@fatboy Some people from other countries say I can't call myself American despite my family being here for generations. They say I'm "European" instead as well which seems silly to me.

It's illegal to enter buildings in the zone as most of them are completely unstable, and due to a new zone administration there's typically no bribing your way out of a situation. Sometimes in the most unsuspecting places you may find street art left behind by a Stalker who risked arrest for something many will never see. Somewhat of a real life Easter egg, or a subtle nod to defiance: "You're not suppose to be here."

QR reading support is now added to Megapixels :D
@icedquinn I hope you're doing ok.
@directhex I guess this is an issue on single monitor setups with full screen apps. The screen osx sends notifications to is my "crap that generates notifications" screen so most of those apps don't get obscured. (not that I'm an osx fan.)
