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 have registered a domain name. I won't link it yet because I need to build the website. I intend to warn people about the split happening within GNU, warn people against the surging influence of 1984 source, and warn people against the danger of CoCs in free software projects.
No this isnt retro yet! dammit!

AT&T hid an arbitration clause in a mountain of dense legalese that it forces its customers to sign. So a judge dismissed our lawsuit against AT&T’s invasion of location privacy. We need a legislative fix. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/04/forced-arbitration-thwarts-legal-challenge-atts-disclosure-customer-location-data
@civodul Wait GNU wasn't inclusive and transparent before?
@fluffy meh, my mail server would still be up.

@icedquinn Or the FBI giving LSD to random people. Or Terry Davis actually being followed by government agents. Or anything related to Edward Snowden.
Conspiracy theories are made because actual conspiracies happen
@freemo I'm glad I was stupid enough to buy some earlier. It's fun to watch.

Under the U.S. copyright laws, reverse engineering software or hardware you legitimately obtained is perfectly legal, UNLESS the software EULA says "no RE", which is legally enforceable and overrides your fair-use rights, as the courts has repeatedly ruled.
Then what prevents a hardware vendor or a chipmaker from doing the same thing? Why hasn't every chipmaker started to sell chips with EULA attached at this point? "Take a photo and we'll sue you out of existence..."

The ad industry is moving away from the anonymous profiling that cookies enabled, and is planning to demand email addresses and other personally-identifiable information instead. This would be a step backward for users.
