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.

@icedquinn There's no way I'm at the top though, I still can't afford the boat I want.

Looking better than initially. I might buy one when the software is more matured

webshit weekly strikes again: "It turns out that basically none of the original reasons Hackernews started using Signal apply any more, but since they convinced their idiot friends to start using it, they're all stuck with it anyway."

34% of WFH workers say they’d rather quit than return to full-time office work
And if they do need to come back to the office, even part-time, employees said they expect some changes. For example, they’d want their employer to cover their commuting costs, and also provide some form of childcare.
@rune I delete them from the DOM, I'm not agreeing to something just because of a bad UI.
@brad Mixing vinegar with ammonia sounds odd to me. You'd probably just get ammonium acetate (?) which probably has a pretty neutral PH.
@fluffy I guess I just don't expect them to do the right thing at this point.
@deutrino They probably also don't recrystalise everything before they eat it, since it's not going through a needle.

what's up with some instances not showing their posts when you click the external link button? Is that on purpose? I've also seen some instances that hide that button so you can only see posts from their instance if that's where you're browsing from.
@allison There's one near me, it's not great.

#Facebook does not plan to notify half-billion users affected by data leak

@fluffy I'd hope the people responsible for that are fired. That is an absolutely unacceptable way to treat *any* prisoner.

@brad I've exposed myself to houshold concentrations of ammonia thinking people were making too big a deal out of it. The headache lasted for a couple days IIRC. I'm not doing that again without a fume hood.
@sossalemaire @0 No, definitely not that.
@0 I never liked nextcloud, I could tell it was a mess from the beginning.
Someone showed me some project that has integrated jabber/email/document hosting that looked much better but I was stupid and didn't bookmark it. I've looked a few times and couldn't find it again.

What do you call a broken embedded system?
An embed-dead system.
