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.

about a cabal of evil linguists, no seriously, missionarism
@elilla GNU unifont[1] is always good to have installed because it has *a* glyph for nearly every codepoint. Personally I prefer the emojis because they match the text style too.

@icedquinn The solution to this is to maintain a desktop for software like that and remote into it from the laptop if you need to use it from another place, but I guess that doesn't solve all the problems.

@directhex @thr doesn't he also often hum rigeleto (or how ever it's spelt) right before dates? That's where the main character in an opera sings about how stupid women are to a prostitute while the girl that loves him is outside (or watching? I don't remember.)

@wolf480pl @quad @spiral @wowaname On the topic of destroying JS: already trying to do that https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/issues/1255
@a_lizard Before discord gamers used sane chat apps like IRC. On the games I play many servers still relay the in game chat to channels on quakenet.

Second consecutive quarter of decline for Google Analytics! 🔻👀
@earnestma I would use needle nose pliers.
@astrotoot@mastodon.online Your glasses and monitor both use light polarization.
@icedquinn Also it sounds like they're giving you less if you had income in 2019 which is totally ridiculous.
I guess the lesson from all these is just: don't run other people's un-audited code on your machine, sandboxed or not.

@icedquinn IMO: graphics cards in laptops are overpriced and a huge pain.
@jbauer Every time I went to an IEEE club meeting I would joke that it's pronounced the way 12 y/o girls make that screeching sound.
@PastelDoe Google does this.
@valleyforge The obesity problem is believed to be due to low quality foods (like bread) being the most accessible and cheap.
unfortunate neonazi jargon Chinese slang crossover
@clacke I think that's also a 19th century telegraph digraph for "love and kisses" or so.
