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.

Interesting fact of the day: The term "patching" software originates from the fact that you would literally patch holes in early hole punch input in order to fix an issue. Attached is a picture with such patches on it from the Harvard Mark I computer.

Facebook’s never-ending crises are the result of a rotten corporate culture and awful priorities. When a company’s badness is inseparable from its bigness, it’s time to consider breaking that company up. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/10/what-facebook-whistleblower-tells-us-about-big-tech

@icedquinn Well, duh. Of course they want their jobs back. No job no livelihood, no money no food no rent etc, and all the worst for people with families.
Taking people's jobs is evil as fuck, painting it as anything but that is dishonest. It was dangerously close to coercion at gunpoint.
Talking about it without talking about why it's just laughing at the misfortune of others.

@fluffy Plugging one side in backwards would probably do that yeah.
@fluffy How is "red connects to red and black connects to black" complicated?
