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.

Reporter on CNN reporting that this was not a targeted attack. It was just a horrible accident. Driver likely accidentally accelerated. Thru a crowd? For 50+ yards? Then having the presence of mind to BACK the vehicle into a driveway? Yeah... not buying this schiz.
Yeah.
Everything is just going to keep getting worse.

Congress is debating a bill that is supposed to help online speech by targeting platforms' algorithms, but will actually end up harming it. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/11/lawmakers-choose-wrong-path-again-new-anti-algorithm-bill
