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.

Things that are threats to "Our Democracy"
1. Free speech
2. Reading books
3. Questioning forced medical treatments
4. Voting against the party in power
5. Not wanting to fight wars overseas
6. Not wanting the government to spy on you
7. Indifference to media's moral crusades

@Xalef
I wanted to but you get really clingy when you date someone like that and then it "doesn't work out."
@icedquinn
@icedquinn I used to say that, it gets better.
@icedquinn I once had a gf that was so chill and didn't do that.
She also wouldn't leave her house for days on end because she watched anime by herself.
She'll probably be the only girl I'll have ever dated who was more introverted than I was.

@yes I'd like the taxes to be less complicated. The way they're currently written is somewhere between retarded ant intentionally malicious.
