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.

@fluffy There is absolutely nothing worse than making a religious decision based on how likely you are to get laid.
@MrSkweeze I feel like I should point out that this would make them "conservative liberals."

The Facial Recognition and Biometric Technology Moratorium Act bans federal use of face surveillance and withholds some federal tax dollars from paying for it at the state and local level. Tell your elected officials now to co-sponsor this bill. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/06/now-time-tell-congress-ban-federal-use-face-recognition
@fluffy I guess it's better to at least ask?
@fluffy That's what it looks like to me. There's libhybris but that's really buggy and a lot of stuff like PMOS abandoned it. IME Qualcomm stuff rarely has free drivers and I make a point of avoiding it.

@fluffy Here's the PMOS wiki for the SoC: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Qualcomm_Snapdragon_835_(MSM8998)
@fluffy Non-free Android only drivers so it's an Android with some gimmicks, not a Pinephone or Librem5. Nice keyboard though.
@freemo Wasn't foreign policy one of the things Trump was supposedly so terrible at?
@freemo And that new chemical is an explosive apparently.

Legislators around the country have proposed laws that would require tech companies to share sensitive personal information with governments and small businesses. Here’s why that’s misguided: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/08/why-data-sharing-mandates-are-wrong-way-regulate-tech

@lucifargundam Matrix isn't really anonymous but I'll join if there's an XMPP or IRC bridge.
@zleap They've been behaving pathologically for quite a while. None of this surprising.

Sharing-economy companies spy on restaurants and us, but the solution is not to force them to share their data—it’s to protect user rights. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/08/why-data-sharing-mandates-are-wrong-way-regulate-tech
@freemo I use the same pseudonym everywhere. I guess that's fundamentally where I messed up.
@lucifargundam They creeped me out a bit but I guess that makes sense.
