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.

@EarlThePearls They're equivalent unless the market has very very low liquidity.
@Sailingmom728 I feel like an idiot for thinking he wasn't going to do anything last time.

I guess he doesn't like all the FJB chants or he's listening to Fraudci saying hit 'em harder!

Our Catalog of Carceral Surveillance is spotlighting some of these shocking new developments. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/09/uncovering-incarceration-tech-introducing-catalog-prison-surveillance

⚠️ If you recognize this medical center in Bowling Green Kentucky DO NOT PATRONIZE THEM. DO NOT give them your business. Do not reward these Brownshirts gleefully 'doing their job.'

>The hospitals are overflowing, there aren't enough workers
So why are they getting fired then?

Look really close at this picture.
The yellow thing in the middle above the white is a bulldozer. It is burying windmill blades used for green energy.
Why? Because these blades need to be disposed of and there is presently no way to recycle them.
That’s how green energy works!
