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.

Covid-19: Researcher blows the whistle on data integrity issues in Pfizer’s vax trial
“Participants placed in a hallway after injection & not being monitored by clinical staff
Lack of timely follow-up of patients who experienced adverse events
Protocol deviations not being reported
Vaccines not being stored at proper temperatures
Mislabelled laboratory specimens, &
Targeting of Ventavia staff for reporting these types of problems.”
Researchers fired for reporting.

@velartrill There's a theory that East Asians evolved an intolerance to it.

@Cbrooklyn112@noagendasocial.com They're not counting the votes yet.
@waronmorons Don't forget that the authorities are disbanding the military over the vaccine mandates.

If you want to know what U.S. Civil War II will look like, just watch the footage of Kyle Rittenhouse taking out the trash in Kenosha. It will be trained , disciplined patriots gunning down mentally-deficient pedophiles and career criminals in the city streets while the authorities inexplicably take the side of the deranged communists.

russ cox has a post regarding the "trojan source" stuff: https://research.swtch.com/trojan
it kind of describes my feeling to this specific "flaw". it also describes my feeling to many of the "the outrage!!11" style security discussions.

On the vaccine, this is what I tell people:
I simply do not want to undertake ANY medical treatment that is untested
thalidomide, vioxx, that HPV vaccine, etc all come to mind
I have had COVID-19 and it wasn't more than a nasty flu because i didn't have the genetic susceptibility: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34237774/
if we had any [expletive deleted] brains, we'd genetically test and quarantine isolate the susceptible only

As long as the code behind "smart" home devices is proprietary, these companies are free to spy on us as much as they like. Help us fight back: urge your friends to join the FSF! Support #FreeSoftware. https://fsf.org

If you make a vaccine to identify one aspect of a virus, don’t you think the dang thing will mutate to eliminate that part so it can keep spreading? I mean I feel like that’s basic science 101 🤷♀️🦠🧬💉🔬🧫
