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.

@swiley I know. I used to consider it abject insanity but now I think it's complete and utter malevolence, evil. The people who are forcing this know that many of US know that these are death shots so are opting to work from home, so they're even cutting us off from that now. Wicked, evil people.
@KitteesPJs People who work from home are being forced to get vaccinated.

@freemo Yeah, I can't take my new sailboat out because the DC harbor patrol registrar won't be in until Monday. That's obnoxious.

@dubh I was born on the boundry between millenniuls and zoomers and I have a 401k.
@icedquinn I think politics is just what everyone is thinking about right now.
I don't really like it either.
