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.

diversity and inclusion requires adding lots of token black positions for diversity and child rapists for the inclusion. bonus points for a black child rapist as it is both diverse and inclusive.

1 in 3 white college students are lying about their race on their applications.
3 in 4 who do this are getting admitted.
Two questions - why the hell are we allowing colleges to even ask this question of applicants? And two, if America's so "racist", why do white people have to pretend to be minorities in order to get into college and hold onto their jobs?
Leftists are destroying this country with this racialist stupidity.
