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.

@metalune@fosstodon.org Most distro pages work well in elinks.

@freemo I'm definitely not a lawyer but that all this does is create precedent (which is a big deal, but is really more about how the law has been "traditionally" interpreted.) Only the legislature and the white house can change the law.
@freemo @blucrunch This might be one of those rare situations where the pedantic distinction between can and may is actually important.
@freemo It's going to court, it hasn't been decided yet.
If it were though this would probably be a terrible thing for groups of people that are often abused by police.
The rant about bugzilla crumbling and #sdl moving to #github is pretty sad to read. It's probably a good move for them though.

@metalune@fosstodon.org I don't know about you but I usually run mkdir because I'm about to put stuff in the folder. If you do this you're going to have to poll for the folder creation to complete with ls.

@lickability Quite frankly the dev UX for most mobile platforms absolutely sucks right now, combine that with how hostile the OS vendors are to community maintained apps and you're going to have a hard time finding devs.
@sodality@fosstodon.org Switching to a pine phone helped me. Nothing works on it so it's pretty similar.
@pettter @WAHa_06x36 Can you point to a country where either of these ideas have resulted in a lasting situation that's pleasant and safe for most people? (especially workers.)
@pettter @WAHa_06x36 I'm all ears for a functioning alternative to capitalism.
@WAHa_06x36 The really stupid thing is that there are more efficient alternatives like etherium which are moving to PoS to replace the environmental harmful PoW.
Pinephone musing
@kelbot I don't know what most distros have done but I wrote my own "deep sleep" scripts and have the phone wake up every 5 minutes to check for things other than sms (like email and discord.)
The battery drains a little faster in sleep and it's not quite push notifications but it's much better than nothing. Supposedly the WiFi card is connected so that it can wake the application processor up on packets but the driver doesn't have support for it right now (Just what I've been told.)

random nerd tip of the day. The broadway backend (broadwayd in the libgtk-3-bin package) allows you to ran a GTK app in a (remote) browser:
broadwayd&
GDK_BACKEND=broadway gedit
and admire gedit with http://PINEPHONE:8080
@icedquinn Well the new Macs can run electron apps without stalling of course. :p

@pbanks@fosstodon.org I'm definitely more likely to reply on weekdays in the afternoon.
