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.

Separating into it's own thread because I'm also thinking of dumping my non-Scheme recommendations here if and when they come to mind (actually, I just registered a personal website on Neocities for this exact purpose)

@eff Social media companies should not give in to this pressure. If social media companies comply with the law, the Turkish authoritarian government wins without a fight. YouTube should not lead the retreat. [6]

I probably should be doing something more important than fixing thumbnails for the Gnome Font Viewer in #Guix, but that's what I find myself doing...

Using YouTube to escape the purge is like going up one level on a sinking ship and assuming the water won't get you there

With app mandates in place, the same students who do not have reliable home broadband connections and study space for remote instruction would likely be unable to meet the smartphone app requirements to attend classes in person. https://www.eff.org/app-mandate

Nissan source code leaked online after Git repo misconfiguration https://www.zdnet.com/article/nissan-source-code-leaked-online-after-git-repo-misconfiguration/
Does anyone know of iOS IRC clients with push notification support that I can send to my friends?
Last year I modified miniircd to send push notifications to colloquy only to discover that the push relay has terrible availability.
