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.

I think this “Let’s go Brandon” thing has got out of control and is completely stupid. Let’s face it Joe Biden doesn’t understand it and most liberals don’t either. I’m not trying to promote foul language BUT let’s make sure our message is perfectly clear. “F**k Joe Biden” and people also should be chanting “TRUMP WON”. I’m no longer sharing anymore “Let’s go Brandon” - it stupid. #FJB #TrumpWon #FuckJoeBiden

What is freedom 1? The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

“They weren’t denying coronavirus, they were facing it head on.It’s a worse thing to quit working than dying. Working is more important than dying. But to shut down & say that we can't go to church, we can't get together w/ family, we can't see our old people in the hospital, we got to quit working? It's going completely against everything that we believe. You're changing our culture completely — we're not going to do it.”

Does Jen Psaki not know all Class 1 railroads operate 24 hours a day 7 days a week? In addition to the UPRR the BNSF and PHL all service the ports in Long Beach, 24/7, always have and always will. This is absolutely nothing new and a slap in the face to all these guys who kept working during the pandemic for no extra pay. https://www.newsweek.com/union-pacific-railroad-will-run-california-facility-24-7-ease-supply-chain-bottlenecks-1640548
