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.

@freemo Oh, didn't you hear?! Because of coronavirus you should have already switched all web activity from TCP to UDP!
It's to avoid the handshakes...

In case you’re wondering if Google or Facebook, etc., will keep you secure, yes, they will try. In the same way a farmer tries to keep their sheep secure from everything else but their own knife.
Security does not imply safety.
@deutrino I'm unproductive in my personal projects when I don't have serious responsibilities. I've definitely met people who could live that way though.

“A number of accounts that Tweeted the word “Memphis” were temporarily limited due to a bug. It’s been fixed and the accounts have now been restored. We’re sorry this happened.” https://twitter.com/TwitterSupport/status/1371235587718582274

> Oil companies in Russia flare an estimated 25 billion cubic meters of gas every year https://www.arctictoday.com/way-stop-burning-money-russian-arctic/
25bn m3 gas --> 257 Twh
Bitcoin uses 78 Twh
So bitcoin uses less than 1/3 as much energy as literally burning off gas at the wellhead. Bet you see that in Bloomberg.
@garritfra lists should probably be handled with split().foreach or so. Ranges should probably be CIDR although maybe node doesn't have libraries for that either.
@niamtokik I also use cwm (on GNU/Linux) but if you're going to use a tiling WM use one that auto tiles. i3 is like sway and always stacks new windows vertically so you have to rearange them every time you open a new one.

Anyway if you're wondering what you've been missing on Twitter, today Twitter started instantly autobanning anyone who said the word "Memphis" and did not figure out what had happened and fix it for like six hours
The entire time people were experimentally tweeting "Wait, do you really get banned if you say 'Memphis'?" and getting banned

GNU Mes 0.23 released!
Mes now supports ARM! For development it also builds with @gnutools' gcc-10 and @guilelang 3.0

@mntmn How much of that is really the software though? The CPU in that is effectively a micro controller by todays standards (even the cheapest smartphones have dozens of them surrounding the application processor) and those displays use almost no power.

RT @Idcrafter2
anbox is working on #plasmamobile on the #pinephone thanks to Funeral from the @thepine64 discord server
@alex LOTR is even funnier IMO because of the heavy christian influence on it.

Encryption is what protects our privacy & security. The @fbi doesn’t need a new way to evade it. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/03/fbi-should-stop-attacking-encryption-and-tell-congress-about-all-encrypted-phones
@boilingsteam That's terrifying.
@rlamacraft Don't bother with iOS apps, they are universally garbage. Run your favorite editor in iSH and sync it with git.
