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.

This is a short clip of attorney Tom Renz wondering about the Vaxstapo's end goal. I've asked myself these same questions and come to the same conclusion: I don't know for sure what their ultimate goal is but I guarantee you it's not good and I refuse to play the game.
@LukeAlmighty Minecraft Steve is unrealistically strong. Mining a yard of cobblestone in a few seconds is kind of crazy while Factorio engineer spends half a day collecting enough rocks to stack into a furnace.
