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.

The Left says that anyone can be a woman: just change your hair, throw on some makeup, wear a pretty dress.
As usual they pervert what is good. The complexity of a woman can’t be captured in clothes or “feeling” like a woman. Being a woman is a million tiny & big things, it’s sacrifice on a level no man can understand, & it takes a lifetime to understand all God created you to be. Men have the same glory in their masculinity.
Don’t let the Left twist us into something small & powerless.

This nonsense has gone too far. This is official lunacy now.
I grew up in a house just north of river, just like the cover art here.

“People often do not know what technology their governments use until it is somehow revealed, after...the contracts have already been signed and the money has been exchanged,” says EFF's Matthew Guariglia. https://www.dailydot.com/debug/zencity-pittsburgh-bill-peduto/

Why not, they can do anything.

I saw some phrasing out there that the SFC was demanding something or taking legal action regarding Trump's possible AGPL infringement.
This is not accurate. Mastodon is not an SFC member project and the SFC has no standing. What they have done is publish their legal analysis and opinion as an interested third party.
