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.

Every single member of the Biden Administration is a pathetic, sniveling, impotent little criminal more suited to be a villain in an Ayn Rand novel than a member of a presidential cabinet.
Are we really going to allow these losers to conquer our country?

The misbehavior of a Chinese company will not kill Bitcoin anymore than AOL killed the internet.

We should celebrate science, the fighting of ideas in public. The slow careful observation of nature so we can work out her laws.
The modern perversion of almost every institution of the west is so terrible and complete it makes sad.

Everyone I know who was formerly conservative was radicalized last year.

And don't forget that they also want to nuke Russia, chop off your elementary school-aged son's penis and ban you from leaving your home without becoming a lab rat for sociopathic Big Pharma execs.
How liberal!

@PapaPol Ah you're right, I misunderstood it.
@PapaPol Nazis aren't communist.
