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.

New @postmarketOS installer feature. You can now choose if you want to install to the SD you're booted from or install to the #pinephone internal storage :)

I got #SRB2Kart by @KartKrewDev running on the @thepine64 #PinePhone running @ManjaroLinux :) The game is surprisingly demanding to run (even on the Pinebook Pro), but with some tweaks max FPS can be maintained. If you haven't head of the game: mb.srb2.org/showthread.php?t…
I don't know why everyone's blaming the Nokia spike on #WSB.
The only place I saw people talking about it was hakernews which was why I had calls. Plus the spike was super short duration unlike most of the WSB stuff. If anything WSB only contributed to it because they like watching trading volume to get in on insider trades.

Privacy cannot be an afterthought with room for interpretation by businesses that thrive on exploiting us online.

it’s been a weird day
For the first time today I made money trading financial derivatives sober.
I'm going to use the profits to buy the melanial equivalent of a yacht: that yellow inflatable kayak on Amazon.

Censorship Google #bigtech
The pervasive use of #heuristics on public un-federated services people have no control over or transparency into is really the thing that's pushing everyone towards insanity.
Some of the stuff people are starting to say about #bigtech and especially #google is beyond even what I would imagine.
Gnome: the desktop environment where your address book database has a hard dependency on an OpenGL version.

Every time I say the smart thing
Apparently #ubereats charges restaurants a 30% markup for their deliver in addition to the fees they charge the customer:

This is why people tell you to just call in orders rather than use ubereats.
