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.

@fluffy I haven't. Although I've only lost money on crypto while my gf made 200% returns with them.
@256 I should put this on my phone.

It’s been eighteen months that people became so scared of dying that they gave up on living.
@a1batross That's pretty awesome!
@thor I have one. It's ok.

God dammit, they always go for the crap with marketing and not the stuff that works.

@wolf480pl TBH async realtime chat kind of sucks. I wish people used email more at work so I could go back and find things they said that I thought wasn't important.

Continuous monitoring of user photos isn’t the right way to fight crime. We all need to stand up tell Apple that. https://act.eff.org/action/tell-apple-don-t-scan-our-phones
@wolf480pl IRC is my favorite because you have clients like ii.
If you need encryption XMPP is ok. It's really heavy though so there are like two clients for Linux with support for modern stuff.
Matrix just freaks me out.
I still don't have any good replacements for Discord's VC. It's even better than what we use at work, they really nailed that. I've heard mumble is good though.
@fluffy I really hate the use of "Alpha/Beta" classification but I would argue this kind of behavior is fundamentally what separates them.
@fluffy There is absolutely nothing worse than making a religious decision based on how likely you are to get laid.
@MrSkweeze I feel like I should point out that this would make them "conservative liberals."

The Facial Recognition and Biometric Technology Moratorium Act bans federal use of face surveillance and withholds some federal tax dollars from paying for it at the state and local level. Tell your elected officials now to co-sponsor this bill. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/06/now-time-tell-congress-ban-federal-use-face-recognition
@fluffy I guess it's better to at least ask?
