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.

@icedquinn Well, duh. Of course they want their jobs back. No job no livelihood, no money no food no rent etc, and all the worst for people with families.
Taking people's jobs is evil as fuck, painting it as anything but that is dishonest. It was dangerously close to coercion at gunpoint.
Talking about it without talking about why it's just laughing at the misfortune of others.

I made myself a "Let's go Brandon!" shirt. (I have a million iron on letters)
Due to tyranny, I am not allowed in restaurants. So, I am out supporting an awesome business who has outside terrace only so they do not discriminate and defy the assholery. Cheers 🍷

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now I'm found,
Was blind, but now I see.
Pokëmon, gotta catch 'em all

NEW - Apple is helping China oppress religion: The US Big Tech company took down popular Quran and Bible apps in China at the request of the Communist regime.
For some reason I can't remote boost toots on some pleroma servers but I thought this one by @mkultra was pretty funny.

Congratulations to @PINE64 for launching the #pinephonepro - just like the original #pinephone, this will surely be an amazing catalyst for the whole alternative Linux smartphone OS community! 🚀
So if you have been under a rock today, here's the original announcement: https://www.pine64.org/2021/10/15/october-update-introducing-the-pinephone-pro/
@martijnbraam made this killer video about it: https://spacepub.space/videos/watch/358f4436-ad94-4436-8560-4157603d3380
...and of course prepared a merge request to put it into postmarketOS edge: https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/merge_requests/2607
