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.

@yogthos@mastodon.social True anti-homelss capitalism is what japan does with eg cyber cafes.
@urusan Being trapped on a ship with a small or zero number of other people sounds unpleasant.
I'm pretty a-social but I don't think I could deal with that.
@stux I'm shocked the OS remains popular.

@freemo I gained a lot of weight last year. My diet didn't really change I just didn't have good reasons to go walking places all the time like I used to. As far as I can tell exercise is much more important.

Limited access to legal counsel and a laptop with glued-down keys to prepare defense. No winter clothes. Up to 23 and half hours per day in isolation. That's how the UK is treating a publisher wanted by the US for revealing evidence of war crimes. #JournalistsSpeakUpForAssange
@icedquinn Yeah that's not fun when it ends but I know people it worked out with.

Dear Mastodon, we're ~60 followers away from 12K! Can you help us get there?
Help by spreading the word that:
🔵 Privacy is a human right.
🔵 Tracking & surveillance are widespread on the internet.
🔵 Tor is a nonprofit that can help you take back your privacy online.
@marathon Maybe epidemiology is different but the phrase "Science vs Amateurs" seems a little ignorant of history.

You can watch the video backed up here on @OdyseeTeam@twitter.com. As you'll see, the video itself (and I in it) make no claims to the legitimacy of the protesters' beliefs.
This doesn't remove disinfo; it only removes a recording of what led to January 6.

@directhex cygwin? in 2021?
Why when you have msys2 and WSL (and just not running windows?)
@mdhughes @profoundlynerdy@mastodon.technology There's a lot to complain about with python but IMO Tkinter isn't one of the cons. How do you draw widgets in scheme and JS in a cross platform way? Chrome is *way* worse.
noob question, economics
@wolf480pl As far as I understand: Economies of Scale, market inefficiency (perfect markets don't exist) regulatory capture (which is really another name for market inefficiency) law breaking (another name for market inefficiency) and maybe trade secretes that let them manufacture more efficiently (stirring something in a certain pattern makes it cure faster etc.)

it’s kind of fucked that a basic element of zillennial manners is rating service workers five stars no matter how many issues there actually were because you don’t want to be the one responsible for ruining their life over a slip-up
