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.

As long as the code behind "smart" home devices is proprietary, these companies are free to spy on us as much as they like. Help us fight back: urge your friends to join the FSF! Support #FreeSoftware. https://fsf.org

If you make a vaccine to identify one aspect of a virus, don’t you think the dang thing will mutate to eliminate that part so it can keep spreading? I mean I feel like that’s basic science 101 🤷♀️🦠🧬💉🔬🧫

What if the bad guys were the good guys and the good guys were bad?
What if by 'purification', they meant a more potent toxin- rather than refining gold?
What if by 'cowing the weak', they meant to oppress those would willingly fall for what they believed- rather than those who cowardly turned-coat?
To all of you reading this- I ask you not to consider changing your perspective- but try to exercise thinking from that from which you oppose.
Often times, there are "two sides to every coin"- regardless of which side you choose, that "coin" gets spent the same way. So why not own the whole dollar and cover all sides to each?
