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.

@Phil This is why I bought a boat.
There's a real limit to how much they can mess that up.

So Twitter sent me an email telling me my (former) account has been suspended for evading their account ban. I’m like what? I haven’t been on Twitter since you closed my account in January, 2 days after you booted the Best President ever. I even checked on the username a few months back and it belonged to someone new.
Twitter is just angry emailing people like a drunk ex-wife at this point 😂😂
Sorry Twitter I’ve moved on to better, Free Atlantis, so put that in your pipe and smoke it.
@retroedgetech Where I came from there always used to be a couple families with chickens that gave eggs away to their friends because they had too many.

Just traded some cash for some food produced by my neighbor. #cashfriday... except on a Wednesday!
I encourage you to do more than buy local: befriend your neighbors and buy from them. It builds a good network and then they are more willing to help you or buy things from you or support your business.
Being too liberal for John Cleese sounds like quite the achievement.
Wow last sprint was awful. All the teams we depend on essentially stopped working and our tickets are all blocked.
@MissLane That's incredibly awful, I'm sorry.
