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.

I made myself a "Let's go Brandon!" shirt. (I have a million iron on letters)
Due to tyranny, I am not allowed in restaurants. So, I am out supporting an awesome business who has outside terrace only so they do not discriminate and defy the assholery. Cheers 🍷
@icedquinn Yeah, it would just be "the thing that came after limbo" like that L language is to TCL.
@icedquinn Hey some of us were using plan9/inferno and started using go because of the relationship with that.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now I'm found,
Was blind, but now I see.
Pokëmon, gotta catch 'em all

@disclosetv As usual the iPhone is an ankle bracelet for the mind rather than a bicycle.

NEW - Apple is helping China oppress religion: The US Big Tech company took down popular Quran and Bible apps in China at the request of the Communist regime.
@akeno Everyone still has to live in the country and many people see what's going on, all we have to do is not cooperate.
For some reason I can't remote boost toots on some pleroma servers but I thought this one by @mkultra was pretty funny.

@123abceng :(
That's condensation from hydrocarbon combustion. There's nothing going on there.
Slighlty political
@TooTankhaMooN I haven't seen empty shelves where I live yet.
@cake-kun The whole "white people have no culture" thing never ceases to piss me off.
@PrettyHateMachine @fluffy Empathy and recognizing that introspection is hard.
@akeno meh, I think just staying out of the way and letting people handle it on their own is a reasonable position to take.
