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.

When you’re working and busting your ass this week - remember your tax dollars are going to pay illegals enough money to buy a new house, car, and have enough left over to send their kids to college.
Welcome to Joe Biden Communist Hell.

Vaccinations for the little people....
CDC Wallenski cannot give a straight answer on CDC staffs vaccination status...or why they are not back at work.
@MissLane I see what they're saying. I think most people would be happy with either Trump or Rand Paul though.

@twotwenty Nah, I'm already sending out applications. They say every day that they're short on c++ programmers who understand the software so this won't be good for them.
I really have to, getting constantly emailed about this has completely demoralized me and I've lost all my motivation.

Probably @pthenq1. That would make the most sense. @AmericanChampion @mastodon.la @freemo

There is not much data to justify the covid vaccine mandates and I'll die fighting them.
