Email mastodon+swiley@swiley.net (this makes all of my computers beep and turn on an indicator light and is always the fastest way to reach me.) I was on octodon a while ago but abandoned my account. I've never been a member of gab or parlor.
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.

The legislation would still permit the government to implement wide-sweeping executive orders such as a mask mandate and forced business closures, but it also accentuates protections for religious liberty and the Second Amendment and addresses topics like property taxes and liability protections.
ah right because diseases are respectful enough that you can’t spread them while jewing and christianing but your sandwich shop that took you 20 years of your life to build sorry that spreads diseases.
@stux It was banned at the university I went to until a couple years ago. When the new student rules were announced one of my friends made a pentagram out of skittles.
@DeveloperMemes The actual job tends to be the bottom one too.
@clacke @yogthos@mastodon.social Yeah, these ideas and revolutions to implement them are much older though. This stuff happened in the mid 20th century when there was no internet and barely TV.
@ilovecomputers I love living in a place with good transit!
@popolon @clacke @yogthos@mastodon.social Disagreeing with NATO is fine (even a good thing often.) Preventing people from communicating securely is not and that's what the Turkish *government* did. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/11/turkey-doubles-down-violations-digital-privacy-and-free-expression
@clacke @yogthos@mastodon.social The alt right predates the internet.
@yogthos@mastodon.social @clacke You think we're worse for having a say in how our countries are governed? Why?

The symbol # has many names, including "hash". Using a hash to make a tag word easier to search makes the whole construct a "hashtag".
Because people say things like "check out hashtag 'learn'", people inferred that the # itself was spoken as "hashtag". This has led to some confusion in certain kinds of discussion.
