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.

@fluffy Go visit your family for a holiday while moving to another city.
Also get rid of your smartphone, smartphones are the worst thing you can do to your brain.

Mornings are hard.
That's why I keep a bottle of rum next to my bed.

Biden weaponized the federal government against conservatives but Republicans are still treating him with kid gloves.
Shut down the government to stop the tyrannical mandates. Shut down the government to stop it from drafting women. Stop the government to save your voters, @GOP.

I wonder how they plan on enforcing that.

If foreigners are prohibited from being elected to the presidency, why the hell do we allow them in Congress?
@enkiv2 Agile is really nice when you don't really care about what you're building.

agile, wherein every two weeks you release a half-broken product but the half that is broken continuously changes, is a good fit for SAAS, wherein users can't stick with a previous version even if they wanted to, but i don't think the arrangement benefits users or developers, neither of whom like broken software

The left says that the reason 90 percent of "hate speech" detected by Facebook's algorithm is anti-White is because their algorithm is rayciss. The right says it's because of all the anti-White hatred the regime is drumming up.
I present a third possibility: getting an algorithm to identify pic related as hate speech is impossible even for a competent programmer, let alone the pajeets Zuckerberg has on his payroll.
