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.

Menial labor is underrated.
There's no going and checking if domains are the same for this other environment or if the documentation for the interface is up to date. No just haul in the mainsheet while you're tacking and go where you want.

In a world where technology can mean the difference between life and death, can we afford the restrictions proprietary software places on progress? Watch and share "Rewind" (Spoiler alert: the answer is no.) https://u.fsf.org/rewind

Accept that things will be bad and embrace it.
Go sailing.
Self actualize.
Do what you want and let other people deal with it.

IMO: people who don't know what a blockchain or C++ is should never ever buy crypto.
I'm still mad at my GF for buying 1k of doggie.

At this point "Journalist" will become a title of shame the way "prostitute" is.

@Hyolobrika @swiley It's not. If you get sick it's your fault for neglecting your body.
Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights
Article 3 – Human dignity and human rights
1. Human dignity, human rights and fundamental freedoms are to be fully respected.
2. The interests and welfare of the individual should have priority over the sole interest of science or society.

If your boat has a hole in it it also "doesn't work so well."

Fun fact: ICE/webRTC does not work over socks.
I don't have internet set up at my new house so everything on my desktop goes over socks/ssh right now. Lots of stuff like Discord and Spotify don't behave with that.
@Hyolobrika
Yeah, the ones that work.

I've been in SUSHI for a while but haven't checked on it.
Why are you in BTC long term? I don't see much of a future in it.

@worldsendless Last time I did this I got a lecture about how "if I just ran Windows steam would probably work and we could finally play Age of Empires."

One of the advantages when working remote is the unrestrained freedom to curse loudly in Swedish when the situation benefits from it.

Can anyone tell me why Chinese authorities need a mobile #incinerator and, more importantly, why they are #cremating someone under a bridge?
