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.

@fluffy I'd hope the people responsible for that are fired. That is an absolutely unacceptable way to treat *any* prisoner.

@brad I've exposed myself to houshold concentrations of ammonia thinking people were making too big a deal out of it. The headache lasted for a couple days IIRC. I'm not doing that again without a fume hood.
@sossalemaire @0 No, definitely not that.
@0 I never liked nextcloud, I could tell it was a mess from the beginning.
Someone showed me some project that has integrated jabber/email/document hosting that looked much better but I was stupid and didn't bookmark it. I've looked a few times and couldn't find it again.

What do you call a broken embedded system?
An embed-dead system.
@lucifargundam My solution was to just get a jmp.chat account. I wish I had known about them sooner.
I'm very glad I never added mine and ignored all the 2fa nags back when I would check #facebook.

@freemo GMO isn't the issue, the reason I don't eat it is because it's usually modified to be resistant to really nasty herbicides.

For people using the edge branch of #postmarketOS, please make sure you check https://postmarketos.org/edge if you notice any breakage. We report ways to fix known problems there, most recently PipeWire-pulse being installed and replacing PulseAudio, breaking audio.
@bonifartius eww for stuff with images, elinks for documentation, icecat for news articles, and firefox for web apps.

@icedquinn Isn't MIDI itself an RS485 network?
