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.

@Ashley
Yeah, I stand by my statement.
It would be terrible if they got their way but I doubt they will. I've had CEOs go on about the "fourth industrial revolution" and IMO we're probably as close to that as we can get without some kind of oracle (or oracles.)

@nobullyplz
Yeah, people who kill dogs that hold still enough to be administered drugs sound like psychos to me.
Your random anon is probably not the picture of mental health but I'd expect only a minority would kill a peaceful dog given the chance.

@matrix Because the dogs roam free and some get violent with people. That's usually what happened where I lived, this guy sounds more like a psycho.
@matrix Maybe. Where I used to live people killed eachother's dogs pretty often. There were lots of little ugly fights over it.
