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.

@macspace @DotardTed @billfoxla I should clarify that it's hard/impossible now (especially without the vaccine) because of the covid nonsense. (This was in 2018, I'm glad I went in retrospect.)
If you kayak across instead of driving you don't have to take a covid test though for whatever reason.
@macspace @DotardTed @billfoxla You can just drive to Canada, I've done it. The bridge I crossed had a border checkpoint (likely most roads do) and the cops gave me a pretty hard time for not having a reason other than "I just wanted to see what Canada is like."

THE FBI RALLY today was such a 💩 show, these idiots were arresting themselves!! 🤷🏼♀️
You can’t even make this shit up. I wonder if his PEW-PEW 🔫 was made of LEGOs. 🤦🏼♀️

💉Vax Dangers⚠️:
This explains yet another reason the vaxxed are so vulnerable, as well as another reason TPTB are so hot to vaccinate everyone: the larger the population of vaxxed the easier to hide this phenomenon.
(Explanation begins at the 3 minute mark and 6:45 is most important.)

I'm really not a fan of that.
I feel stupid for falling for the "false flag" thing. I should have gone to DC.
@anonymoose @icedquinn If I decide to leave I'll probably self host. I'm no where near that right now though. I still think @freemo is a great admin we just disagree on something.

@freemo afaik j&j and astra zeneca are viral vector vaccines which do the same as the mRNA vaccines, only that they use a modified virus as transporter instead of lipids

So for the general public, stories that can feature the Taliban and affirm reader’s sense of superiority are likely to sell very well. Comparatively, Saudi Arabia’s relationship with the U.S. makes the emotional response to the poor state of Women’s Rights in that country more complex and complexity doesn’t sell as consistently. (Media that markets itself to niche audiences have more coverage of these issues, though.) It’s important to remember that “The Media” doesn’t care or not care about things. They simply produce a product and market that product to maximize sales. https://politics.stackexchange.com/questions/68774/why-the-media-is-concerned-about-the-sharia-and-the-treatment-of-women-in-afghan

Movements have forced companies to cut back on price gouging prisoners’ phone calls. Now these firms have moved on to make a profit off of surveilling those calls. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/09/catalog-carceral-surveillance-voice-recognition-and-surveillance
@icedquinn You can secede.

@bonifartius @swiley @freemo @GodfreyHendrix It's not even that tbh. It's a huge agitprop to see who would submit and signal their loyalty to the current regime. See who's going to be a problem in future if they ramp up their totalitarian schizo dreams. "How much could we push these plebs to do just because we tell them to?"
@Telvannichad @GodfreyHendrix @bonifartius @freemo This is exactly what I've been thinking lately.

@bonifartius @freemo @GodfreyHendrix Right. I just want to be left alone.
