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.

“Right of publicity” lawsuits can now get around key legal protections for websites and apps. That won’t be good for free expression. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/10/bring-publicity-trolls-federal-appeal-court-ruling-drastically-undermines-online

Not that the powerful institutions who control society care about ethics anymore at this point, but just a reminder that internet censorship of individual speech violates basic human rights. https://twitter.com/lbrycom/status/1445377789683720194

NOW HIRING
Good company to work for. Does not Mandate vaccine. Has over 100 employees, so may need to test once a week if OSHA decides to put through the Mandate.
We're an Electrical Supply House, we train newbies. Good career path opportunities.
I work for the Platt division. Platt is all throughout the northwest, (CA, OR, WA, UT, MT, ID, NV). Rexel is the parent company and has branches throughout the US.
