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.

@Digital_Edge Let me know, I love mailing lists.
@rlamacraft Languages that coerce between unrelated types make Ocaml and haskell look very tempting.
@stux That looks a lot more complex than just pumping water up a hill. I guess you don't have the flood risk though.

Tusky: Censoring people
Me: Please don’t do this, censorship harms marginalized people the most
Tusky: Yeah right, Nazi
Google: Censors Tusky
Tusky: NOOOO I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY IS THIS HAPPENING???

Thousands of Enterprise Surveillance Cameras #Hacked - #ThreatWire
Thousands of surveillance cameras were hacked, Molson Coors breweries were attacked, and we’ve got a bunch of updates to the #Windows Exchange vulnerabilities!
Why does the #osx VTE even have separate "new window" and "new tab" commands when activating either always just opens a new tab in your current window?
Yet another reason we should just put RHEL on all the desktops too.

A prejudiced AI is not prejudiced if everyone else was prejudiced first and it just learned from them. Got it.

every time someone says "unused RAM is wasted RAM therefore it's fine for programs to use tons of RAM" a file in the disk cache dies inside

Data Double Dipping: When Companies Mine Paying Customers
"While companies should protect their customer’s privacy by default whether their product is free or not, it’s particularly discouraging to see that many companies out there are double dipping on their customers."

In the last year Google has banned: the Element app, the LBRY app, and several Fediverse apps. If you get all of your apps from a single corporation, be it Google or Apple, you should make an effort to change that.
If you have an Android phone F-Droid is an alternative app repository, and it’s very easy to install! All of the previously mentioned apps have been available from F-Droid throughout being dropped from the Play Store.
If you have an iPhone, please consider other options for your next device. Apple does not respect you enough as a user to consider you possibly more capable of deciding what you should install on your phone than they are. That is absurd; please stop rewarding this behavior with your money.
@maze @ryanleesipes @matrix Maybe after the OpenBSD project has their own server/client software for it.

i find it ironic the EU is apparently trying to propose their own dragnet spying bill while complaining about the US dragnet spying.

@emilis This is too easy to do while playing an instrument. I used to freak people out all the time back when we were allowed to be in rooms together.
@calculsoberic@mstdn.social The only thing I can do after drinking a cup of coffee is pontificate. I don't know why people associate that drink with productivity.
