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.

German Health Minister Calls for Immediate Forced Vaccination of Entire Population https://truthunmuted.org/german-health-minister-calls-for-immediate-forced-vaccination-of-entire-population/
@yes Is that why all my sockets were dying this morning?
Or is it just my crappy ISP.
@LukeAlmighty Malls have always been fake but never more than now.
I like walking around the mall where I live now. It's almost completely empty and the terrible music reflects off the bare walls and hard floor. The whole thing feels so unreal.

Just remember as they try and disillusion you into thinking you are in the minority . YouTube had to disable the ' dislike ' button after 16 years to hide how much people dislike Biden and what he's doing to our country . -interworld knowledge

@watson@freeatlantis.com Either Biden is an idiot or he's not listening then. The games he's playing with the vaccine will push us over the edge.
@pensees I've always thought of the Amish as authoritarian, collectivists, and racially homogeneous.
They have more in common with 1930s Germany than Somalia IMO.

The funny thing about COVAIDS-19 is:
1. The people who are not affected by it are unlikely to get tested
2. Those who are likely to have it are about the only group that gets tested
3. We know who is at risk: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-01773-7
4. We refuse to acknowledge genetics, prefering *equal panic* to protecting those actually at risk
@pensees Yup. IME they all just come to Virginia and other sane states though.
@pensees It's almost like California and New York want their states destroyed.
