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.

What if your notes were organized by your calendar instead of a document tree?
In my head it makes perfect sense to click on a past meeting and see what I wrote down in that context, instead of searching for a note written somewhere, at best tagged with that date.
Maybe there is even something like that out there?

The left has been waging a rapidly escalating war against our law enforcement agencies for a decade now.
Ever since Obama launched violent, Marxist, deceptively-named Black Lives Matter with increasing slander that painted targets on police backs and led to cops being assaulted, killed, and pilloried by a corrupt justice system, it's only gotten worse.
Then Antifa's Arkham Asylum-escapee brownshirts got involved and beat cops were pressed into riot squads while precincts burned to the ground.

I think this “Let’s go Brandon” thing has got out of control and is completely stupid. Let’s face it Joe Biden doesn’t understand it and most liberals don’t either. I’m not trying to promote foul language BUT let’s make sure our message is perfectly clear. “F**k Joe Biden” and people also should be chanting “TRUMP WON”. I’m no longer sharing anymore “Let’s go Brandon” - it stupid. #FJB #TrumpWon #FuckJoeBiden
@Wizski I've always felt like the profanity was appropriate here.
