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.

@icedquinn I'm not a Windows fan but I'd be lying if I didn't say Windows 98 DOS 6.0 fills me with some intense nostalgia.

Crisis actors wanted in the UK for the NHS. Preparing for the holiday horror season?
I hate to assume the worst but that's always what it turns out to be these days. So much for dear old Boris suspending the mandates... going back to scare-tactic basics. Gotta keep that ebb and flow between fear and relief going to maintain psychological control.

@billiam There are surprising parallels. I wouldn't be surprised if some of what were previously considered free and liberal democracies committed genocide and declared themselves ethnostates within the decade.

@KarePatriot @DotardTed @tomselliott I don't know, I guess he's attacking the one thing the catholic church had: tradition.
@DotardTed @tomselliott The pope has been at odds with Christ and Christians since before the printing press.

@DotardTed I made a point of not using Apple services and it was still a struggle for me to get off the iPhone.
@DotardTed This should be interesting.
