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.

NOW - Florida's Gov. DeSantis to create an office dedicated to investigating and prosecuting election crime, crowd chants: "Let's Go Brandon!"
@ConnieinVA The people have won!
@enkiv2 The political alienation comes from authoritarians in the federal government. We wouldn't be so divided if we weren't being forced to agree with each other. Arguing for more of that argues against democracy.

lol I got a spam call where the recorded voice just mumbles about their bluetooth for about 10 seconds before hanging up. I guess the idea is to trick you into calling them back?
#Zillow getting fucked by their "AI" is fundamentally people not understanding the difference between a heuristic and an algorithm.

People around the world use sites that rely on proprietary JavaScript - often without realizing it. Nonfree JavaScript subjugates users in the same way as any piece of proprietary software. We should reject it. https://www.fsf.org/campaigns/freejs

Boots on the Ground report from the PNW. The nation’s largest railroad Union Pacific is approaching total grid lock due to man power shortages after imposing vaccine mandates.
Interchange railroads are boycotting the UP until they send crews to pickup empty equipment being stored.
Further exasperating the problem are crew haulers who shuttle crews from trains back to tie-up terminals. Crew haulers can’t find drivers.
This is the RR to save the at Port of LB. Better buy some Toilet paper.

ironically texas declares the trunk of your car to be 'part of your house' for the purposes of telling corpos they can't ban private gun ownership by just declaring everywhere a no-gun zone.

Common Wealth of Virginia dumps the divisiveness, the corrupt and the mandates of The Left ... with one "legit" election.
Imagine if 2020 was "legit"...
