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.

@freemo I really like the phrase "sober minded" since that seems to cover all the vagaries you can experience, including intoxication by social media.
@freemo (not that I'm sober currently FIY.)
@freemo Yeah
I'll admit it's been a while since I read the bible but Paul talks quite a lot about getting drunk and what not.
This is a personal decision though. That the government forces you to make a decision about this sort of thing is extremely upsetting.
@freemo And then there's the "science implies <x> about religion." That's just crap philosophy.
@freemo grep your local copy of the bible for "sobriety" the priest is full of crap.
Not that it should be illegal but don't justify it from a religious standpoint.
inb4 following #IETF standards is considered right wing.
I swear to God.
I will continue using mutt to read your shitty emails until the end of time and If I have to type `|elinks --dump | less` that's on you.
If I'm less likely to read your crap that's on you.
@fluffy I was ok at vacuuming the popcorn but I don't think I appreciated how good she was at cooking.
@fluffy There are no food and clothes ever since my girlfirend left. Life is hard and I'm not sure what to do.
@fluffy I mean there are what, three chords? Hard to disprove.
I suppose there's the tambre but... idk
sounds like noise but not unbelievable.
@niconiconi "bounded automota"
Some popular guy who "wrote his own compiler" talked about losing access to computers.
@icedquinn I'd rather grump about Apple and maybe try to fix voice calls on my Pinephone after it breaking for the nth time.

The former @FCC chief technologist built a scanning system like Apple's. But then: "We warned against our own system design." https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/08/19/apple-csam-abuse-encryption-security-privacy-dangerous/

We've joined a coalition of more than 90 organizations calling on Apple to halt its plans to scan the files and iMessages of iPhone users.
@fluffy They have non pornographic content?
@icedquinn If fluffy tale's last poll is any indication at least it's not popular here.
