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.

NOW - Florida's Gov. DeSantis accuses Biden to divide the country through vaccine mandates.
Also, I finally found a good place to get a confederate flag since Amazon won't sell me one.
@Gargron I don't know if you're aware but MastodonApp @MastodonApp@mastodon.social Is mass tooting people telling them to download and run .exe files.

Of course G👀gle is doing this 🙄

"The issue is that YouTube is modifying the n query parameter on the video playback URLs in a very similar fashion as the signature cipher. There's a pure function in the player JavaScript which takes the n parameter as input and outputs an n parameter which is not subject to throttling."
Or you make it look like you're Android, then you're not throttled either. This is just pathetic.
(Detached) tmux sessions for the win! 🤓

🇬🇧Are you also concerned that the EU wants to ban anonymous/protected domains and mandate identification of domain owners incl. your address and phone number?

you'd think "it doesn't work" would be a sufficient argument.

Sadly the PinephonePro is out of my price range but it looks amazing! I have been speculating about a similar move they did for the Pinebook but for the Pinephone but I honestly didn't expect it in less then a year from now :D

@worldsendless Eventually either missing features or the same problems always appear with the other tools (often both.) I don't think email will ever really go away.

I know that email fatigue set in about two decades ago, but allow me my Unpopular Opinion: #email is good! How many of our over-abundance of comms tools today could be reduced to disciplined use of email?

This post put well why RSS is a more civilized way of consumming content then are the plague of "make an account" things. Plus, elfeed in #emacs has made me not miss Google Reader any more. https://lucidmanager.org/productivity/read-rss-feeds-with-emacs-and-elfeed/
