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.

@itouchu That's really quite something. Hopefully it doesn't become something greater.
I remember standing in the fields down by the James River as my dad explained to me that the UN was proposing a new law where (IIIRC) essentially land owners would forfeit their land rights for some "market" value and the local government could build subdivisions on their land.
Our municipality eventually rejected this idea. I'm not entirely sure why, a single person (or maybe their family, that was never clear to me) owned most of the land.
The world would be better without the UN.
@deutrino One of these days I'll find a distro with a package manager I like.
@lupyuen
1) Cargo, which encourages dependancy explosion
2) The dependency on LLVM, a massive C++ project
3) Everyone telling me I should rewrite my chess game and web browser in Rust when they can barely manage their undergrad homework.
@deutrino Still not enough for building most Android ROMs.

The California Highway Patrol flew helicopters over protests for Black lives, and used high-powered cameras to zoom in on protesters’ faces, according to a new report from @ACLU_NorCal.

I used to be able to play the guitar so well, I should get off the internet and go back to practicing.
Or packing really since I'm supposed to move by Friday.
@freemo Good :)
Then I was very wrong to think we weren't friends.
@freemo Jews are very much distinct. That's a whole separate thing thought.
@freemo
It's good that reason binds us together.
I hate myself and I know I drink to much but what little grasp I have left on reality I can see we don't disagree so much.
Maybe a year or so from now we can be friends again. I miss that.

@freemo Would you say the same thing to someone attacking white people?
This is an argument against a hateful and genocidal ideology mind you, not a race.

Martin Luther initially mistook the Jewish religion for something similar to Catholicism (a distortion of Christianity) but soon realized that it was something far worse and wrote an entire book on it.
@matrix It's too fantastic and I want to go back to Lynchburg with my hammock and my sweet lies.
@Salaru DC should be burned.

Another restless day of struggle against the incredible force of DC.
I don't know how many more months we will make it, all feels so hopeless.
