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.

people who complain about words being offensive contribute negative value to society and are the only demographic who actually deserve censorship.

Here is a look at the "new" blue states.
"I know it sounds extreme but I think when you move to a new state you should have a waiting period to vote there (2-5 years), otherwise it just encourages people to jump ship and then try to restart the ship that sank elsewhere."

"Freedom" is bullshit. No one gives freedom to those who will destroy it.
You have to have an actual goal, and that's what the proles fear.
Purpose, meaning, direction.
