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.

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.

President Biden Mandates Asbestos to be Installed in all Homes
In a move applauded by Democratic lawmakers, President Joe Biden announced Tuesday a new plan to mandate the installation of asbestos in all homes.
“Fire safety is very important, and we all know asbestos is fireproof.” Says Joe Biden, “Everyone must have asbestos installed in their home because if your house catches on fire, your neighbors house could catch on fire. Soon the entire city will be on fire!”
Some right-wing conspiracy theorists have expressed concerns about mesothelioma, which have been echoed by noted January 6th provocateurs such as Alex Jones. Joe Biden directly attacked these pro-fire individuals in his speech, saying “C’mon man! We installed asbestos in millions of homes last year, and we haven’t heard of a single person getting mesothelioma! Not one! Face it, asbestos is proven safe, we’re providing it for free, it’s going to protect your family from fire, and it’s going to protect your neighborhood. What are you waiting for?”
He had strong rhetoric for pro-fire individuals who were calling asbestos installers forcing their way into homes mean names: “Show some f---ing respect.”

@yngmar You'd think manufacturers like Pine64 wouldn't have this problem but you read the forum posts and people are mad at them for bugs in community maintained OSes.
