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.

@fluffy Politics is the alternative to violence. When the politics stop the execution starts.
@yngmar The problem are these radio as a service products (I don't know what they're called but I have a couple friends who worked on them) where the telecom provider doesn't actually own the network equipment (they buy it but don't have root, much like modern cell phones the manufacturer is the only one with root shell access.)
@hydramacready It's not hard to teach your kids yourself. My mother taught me to read.

Very interesting exploration of non-Git* solutions. I particularly liked his point warning of vendor lock-in.
