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.

Q: Why did quaternion fall out of favor among physicists by the early 1900s, despite being a very successful system to represent quantities in 3D space?
A: Because history is written by the vector.

This is the sort of shit that the regime is afraid of people knowing, and it spreads like wildfire among the normies. "Epstein didn't kill himself" reaching gigameme status was a serious wound, and serious political actors would be rallying around this, playing it up, and amplifying what's going on.

republicans hate the republican party because they aren't effective
democrats hate the republican party because they think they are effective
no one ever points out the democrat are the republican party if they weren't spineless. the establishment is the same uniparty.
