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.

@TooTankhaMooN Most important is the freedom to modify the OS so the user can choose what's important to them.

Scientists mystified, wary, as Africa avoids COVID disaster
Fewer than 6% of people in Africa are vaccinated. For months, the WHO has described Africa as “one of the least affected regions in the world” in its weekly pandemic reports.
Some researchers say the continent’s younger population, in addition to the lower rates of urbanization and tendency to spend time outdoors, may have spared it the more lethal effects of the virus so far.
@LukeAlmighty I've been running fluxbox/fvwm on PostmarketOS. They might have an image for your phone.
Don't use the "mobile optimized" GUIs. They're not great. I use unit scaling as well so I can fit lots of windows on the screen and read stuff.
I'm on a Pinephoen (it came with PMOS pre installed although I had to reflash it to upgrade to a newer release.) The eg.25 modem can be unreliable with suspend (power saving) but it's good enough if your job doesn't depend on you answering your personal phone.
