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.

Washington Post pretty much says, rape victim in Loudoun county deserved to be raped because she had had sex before.
I'm surprised he didn't bring up what she was wearing. So I guess, she was asking for it.
Vile disgusting leftists.

NEW - Billionaire investors such as George Soros and Reid Hoffman, the founder of LinkedIn, launch "Good Information Inc," a new group to police the Internet and tackle the "disinformation crisis".
@KarenLyn Yeah, it's definitely it's own thing. On Mastodon.social I think they use the UI with lots of timelines next to each other. IIRC the best way to use that was to make topic lists rather than follow people directly. I think there's a way to do that on qoto but I haven't spent enough time poking around.
Usually people make an intro post with their interests and an introduction hashtag (#introduction I think) to find each other.
@KarenLyn Welcome!

Metaphorically, those sane people unlucky enough to live in covid-crazed countries, states and cities are in the final frames of The Mist.
The unseen monsters in the mist are the increasingly coercive mandates from the medical tyrants in government.
The familicidal handgun in your hands is the "vaccine".
The truth is the cavalry coming to the rescue.
Don't give up on truth and liberty will return like never before. These mandates have no power - unless you give up. Then you may lose it all.

I just sent and received calls between my SIP account and landline phone using my #Librem5 and the native Calls application, and it was pretty exciting.

'guix shell' is among us! 🥳
Like 'guix environment' it'll help you spawn one-off environments and development environments, only more easily and more efficiently.

@SlimJim They've had signs like that up since early last year.

maybe but it's not like it's that hard to find hosting. If the pirate bay and 8kun can stay up then so can a mastodon instance owned by one of the more wealthy Americans.
The deplatforming made things hard for Parlor but they were run by idiots, if it weren't for that something else would have certainly gotten them. @geotechland

reminder than a large & powerful faction of ruling class absolutely adores that Haugen woman; if she was remotely a threat to the system she'd have been disappeared by now. calling her a "whistleblower" bc she cooked up some PR ploy to join the "winning" team is inane. remember what happened to the guy at google?
