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.

Of course G👀gle is doing this 🙄

"The issue is that YouTube is modifying the n query parameter on the video playback URLs in a very similar fashion as the signature cipher. There's a pure function in the player JavaScript which takes the n parameter as input and outputs an n parameter which is not subject to throttling."
Or you make it look like you're Android, then you're not throttled either. This is just pathetic.
(Detached) tmux sessions for the win! 🤓

you'd think "it doesn't work" would be a sufficient argument.
people out there really doubling down on the highest profile failure in modern medicine hoping that the third booster shot will redeem it

Sadly the PinephonePro is out of my price range but it looks amazing! I have been speculating about a similar move they did for the Pinebook but for the Pinephone but I honestly didn't expect it in less then a year from now :D

I know that email fatigue set in about two decades ago, but allow me my Unpopular Opinion: #email is good! How many of our over-abundance of comms tools today could be reduced to disciplined use of email?

This post put well why RSS is a more civilized way of consumming content then are the plague of "make an account" things. Plus, elfeed in #emacs has made me not miss Google Reader any more. https://lucidmanager.org/productivity/read-rss-feeds-with-emacs-and-elfeed/

While Mobian does not directly support running #Android applications, it seems that some users find running them via #waydroid on the #pinephone surprisingly nice. Our wiki has some installation instructions if you want to try it out.

There is nothing funnier then to see a generation that grew up on "we don't need no education", "rage against the machine" and enough gothic shit to overdose on, still being unable to face the choice between fight and letting "the system" take their lives away.
A simple chance of dying of cold is unbearable to them. Have they realy not been exposed to enough shit? Is exposure not working, or did they repeat all of these mantras without actually even touching the topics themselves?
