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 feel like the attack on Sunday was a crossing of the Rubicon.
It's one thing for the communists to burn down their own neighborhoods, loot their own communities and turn left-wing cities even more into uninhabitable hellholes.
But committing acts of terror against good, wholesome, innocent people in small town America is a step too far. The people in that community didn't vote for this insanity; they don't deserve to live in fear.

@yes I don't know what half those acronyms say but I;d guess no.
I'm going to go buy some more crypto and if Tucker weren't on I might buy more wine.
@yes Yeah :)
This is why I take all my tithing money and just spend it on wine.
@yes I'm struggling to understand what you're saying at my level of inebriation but it sounds pretty rough.
@itouchu It's a shame though, I came here because I loved how well the county seemed to be run. Unlike Goochland they had public transit and things actually seemed to be built here.
@itouchu I've always thought it would be better if they left Virginia, maybe joining Maryland or DC.
@itouchu Perhaps my understanding of "the masses" is different from yours.
I've wandered around Richmond at 2:00AM and grew up in the middle of Virginia and my understanding of people is pretty different from that. They know what's going on, they're just waiting.
The only thing that remotely matches that is the place I've lived the past year;Fairfax. That's an odd place anyway though and doesn't represent the country or the state.
Kyle stood on Reason the whole time. It's one of the greatest arguments for our nation and government.
@itouchu I'm not convinced, there were reasonable arguments against the UN before.

> i object to this many furries on an airplane because one accident could take out the entire american IT industry
@yes Go to a body of water farther than 3nm to the opposite shore and say that again.
@enkiv2
>because when women make the first move it is considered more dangerous than the already-high baseline.
What? Half my exs made the first move.
>I read a lot of articles on Medium
Stop doing that. Add Medium to your /etc/hosts file and go outside.
>I’m no catch
Well there you go. Fix that or reject women altogether.
Manhood is about climbing a shier cliff not bitching.
>That said, I don’t know what the solution is
Of course not. You think it involves other people changing their behavior.
@icedquinn Why not just give ffmpeg the URL.
That's how I stream to twitch. That's as complex as it needs to be.
The assholes abusing computers to make people's lives hard should be struck with large fish. They're bad people.
