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.

I think what's happened in New York and California shows that you need some degree of immigration enforcement to prevent people who don't understand how free democracies work from overrunning and destroying them.
@djsumdog jmp.chat is pretty awesome. Definitely one of my favorite services right now.

These top ten members of congress have $429 million in financial liabilities. This ultralow interest rate environment is working for them in a massive way. Is it working for you?

These covid cult clowns are literally handing out the blue pill when you line up and get your second dose of the depop shot now.
But you don't even get to eat a delicious imaginary steak. No, you get to eat a single plastic-wrapped jellybean. Then you probably get sterilized, get paralyzed, get myocarditis and die of a heart attack before your 30th birthday.
You know, unless you just get cancer in a few years.
Welcome to the Matrix, moron.

@icedquinn I just don't watch TV and don't think about it.
@waronmorons The pope has been an enemy of Christ and the Church for hundreds of years. None of this is new.

If you have thought about using more encrypted apps or services, today is a great day to #MakeTheSwitch. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/10/global-encryption-day-lets-stand-privacy-and-security
@enkiv2 I keep hearing this. IMO it's a much better trade for what they originally took: nearly two hours of unpaid commute time and a ton of wear on your personal vehicle.

Fentanyl is killing way more young people than covid. It's a national crisis & should be treated as such: emergency summit w/policy recommendations, millions worth of PSA's warning about how deadly it is, total crackdown on trafficking across border, etc. https://www.reviewjournal.com/local/local-las-vegas/nevada-overdose-deaths-continue-to-climb-reports-show-2463260/
