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.

Oof, I didn't realize they were doing that. I assumed it was just static html. :(

@freemo
You could argue intent matters a lot here. They didn't intend to share it so they're not violating the license yet.
@icedquinn
@freemo I'm not too sure what a mastodon boycott would look like.
@freemo That's incredibly disappointing. There wasn't any reason for them to do that.
This could have brought mastodon into the mainstream and instead FOR THE THIRD TIME IN A ROW they screw it up for no reason.

@swiley countries typically don't let random noncitizens vote. 
if heinlein's "you don't get to vote unless you were willing to die for it" is one direction, "you can vote as long as you got past the texas horseman" policy is the polar opposite

@icedquinn One place I worked at dealt with this by telling everyone to use automation to back up their mailboxes locally.

JUST IN - Putin compares the battle for equal rights in Western countries to Bolshevik dogmatism on the brink of absurdity and pleads for "rational conservatism" at the Valdai Forum.

@swiley Awesome! I wrote this script to sync contacts between CardDav and XMPP:

I think what's happened in New York and California shows that you need some degree of immigration enforcement to prevent people who don't understand how free democracies work from overrunning and destroying them.
@djsumdog jmp.chat is pretty awesome. Definitely one of my favorite services right now.

These top ten members of congress have $429 million in financial liabilities. This ultralow interest rate environment is working for them in a massive way. Is it working for you?
