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.

@Sui_Juris@freeatlantis.com The University I went to lets you go for free if you have good grades/SAT score and/or are a missionary kid.

Apple's talking about sideloading this week to shift the discussion away from App Store competition. If it had to compete with other secure iPhone app stores (like ones dedicated to gaming) it would have to lower its fees and improve its policies. It's about control not security.

This is the kind of telemetry you get with an Amazon fire tablet (it has a modified android version called Fire OS). The device is literally used by Amazon for showing ads more (if you don't block them) than you use it for your personal use. This tablet hammers the internet even if you do nothing on it. This kind of behavior should be catalogued as malware.

@yes So are trading cards heh.
@yes idk shticoins are pretty obvious IMO. If people want to blow their money on bullshit then let them, the alternative is worse.
@yes Don't buy shitcoins then? That's not really an ETH problem.
