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 github page's load balancer changes IP address more often than my VPS does. Maybe I should give up on it? I don't like having one machine running all my stuff though.
@icedquinn I wrote something similar (http://swiley.net/dcgui.html) a long time ago that used data: urls instead (that way you can worry less about the server being compromised, and it also works with static hosts like github pages or busybox httpd.)
It used RC4 instead though so it's really not much of an improvement over plain text.

Predictive policing and biometric surveillance technologies disparately harm Black, immigrant, and other vulnerable communities. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/01/oaklands-progressive-fight-protect-residents-government-surveillance

We need to talk about Firefox Lite...
1) Firefox Lite uses Android Webview, i.e. Chromium.
2) it pings home to app-measurement.com, which is a Google domain.
So no, do not use this wolf in sheep's clothing.
@rainonwires@merveilles.town I use vim for now but I'm also writing my own.
@icedquinn IMO: the way push notifications work on iOS are 90% of the reason the internet got terrible after ~2010
@icedquinn People hate scrum but I've always liked it. It helps you get into the mood for work.
I also would have lost my mind last year without it.
@rosano idk, I drive my car something like 400km round trip to visit my parents. Plenty of people I know do this every week.
@xj9@merveilles.town @joeyh 9p in a browser doesn't make sense. Most had support for gopher until recently (many still do) some have bit torrent support, and most browsers have some kind of mail client maintained by the same people as well.

IPFS is 6 years old and major browsers still refusing to support it.
Imagine if the WWW was six years old (1997) and all the major browsers were like
> nah, just gonna continue supporting FTP and gopher, not this newfangled WWW thing
> but hey, we did, in collaboration with AOL, implement special support for their dialup site in our browser

@enron@mastodon.social That's certainly a headline.

no way. no fucking way
@vivit Which ones would I get?
@icedquinn
WHATWG:
"No TCP because you could portscan with that and use people's computers to abuse arbitrary services"
*Standardizes and deploys websockets so you get all the downsides of TCP without any of the positives.*
@icedquinn It's all bad.
I gave up and now I have a corded touch tone phone connected to a landline that I tell people to call if it's urgent.
@torproject Eventually people will be using TOR to replace their missing HE IPV6 tunnels.
