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.

@RoyalJohnny242 @NEETzsche @lichelordgodfrey I'm not saying what the left is doing is right either.

@lichelordgodfrey @NEETzsche Kicking people out of their own country is gross and that's what you're arguing for if you argue for this. Unless I'm misunderstanding something.

@MissLane In most countries when you share something it's shared under a "license." Most software developers (including the mastodon devs) use one from the GPL family of licenses for a number of reasons (I use it because it prevents my employer from messing with my side projects.)
One of the rules in most GPL style licenses is that you must publish changes you make to the code and license it under a compatible license. This helps prevent companies from hijacking projects in various ways among other things.
It sounds like whoever is setting that up didn't understand this.

@NEETzsche Ew. I'm pretty far to the right and that's gross.
@freemo (I don't disagree that it's a pretty terrible instance.)
@freemo I know at this point you might count it as a positive but I will leave and self host if you block poast.

@MissLane They had it running, they just didn't have any public links to it.
I'm not sure if that's what I would really call a "hack."
It looks like they're also violating copyright law with it which is unfortunate.
