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.

@icedquinn I think longturn.et is about to start a new game.
@TransGal4872 @icedquinn @pasture I've been saying it's just the new kind of witch hunt. I'd love to see a monty python version of a trial for a cancelled person though haha.

i'm not sure what the authorized job someone who is "cancelled" is allowed to work, so i'm just reinterpreting calling for someone to be cancelled to be identical to calling for their death.

If vaccinated old people can go to the pub this summer but their soon-to-be jobless kids can’t I’m convinced there’s going to be widespread riots. When furlough ends things are going to get tense.
Did it work....?
@stux It works on qoto.org too.

Good ol' Biden, making the world hate us once again. Say what you will about Trump but it was nice having 1/3 the usual military deployed and engaging in peace talks with the enemies way better strategy than a policy of "we refuse to come to the negotiating table" and then bomb them instead.
@clacke Is zapping enabled in xorg.conf? then you can at least use c-a-bs

@tengumatingpress As of today, all Plan 9 and Inferno versions are under the MIT license. Whole bunch of interesting third-party development for it (notably treason, so you can play videos on it), kernel continues receiving work, and Inferno just had a 64-bit version released a few days ago. Cool stuff needless to say

good thing with outrages like the current rms stuff is that one knows who to trust and who is likely to backstab you :)
