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.

"“Nobody is considering that [these medical problems] could be vaccine-related,” says an ICU nurse in a county hospital. “It’s not even in question. You might as well say you want to start treating people with crystals and burning sage. If you say it’s the vaccine, they look at you and say, ‘It’s the safest thing ever produced. Why would you say that?’”

"even the certification authorities for the medical space are threatening doctors that question vaccines with the loss of their licenses. the board has become a truth ministry and they will not even define what the crime of wrongthink really means. this is the classic recipe for censorship: harsh penalty for undefined transgression.
this is not evidence based medicine. it’s politics based omerta.
i have never seen anything like it in my career."

Top 5 songs are all called "Let's Go Brandon" on iTunes rap charts.
So all you have to do to get a little fame is be a meme rapper who doesn't mind goofing on the pants-pooping Peking puppet pretending to be president.
I'll allow it! 🤷♂️😂

"Despite Facebook’s recent virtue-signaling on privacy, the company does not make it clear to people that when they deactivate their accounts, its vampiric data connections continue to suck new information from advertisers" - @KateKayeReports for @Digiday https://digiday.com/media/why-facebook-keeps-collecting-peoples-data-and-building-their-profiles-even-when-their-accounts-are-deactivated/
And they're threatening the people who live here with homelessness for not taking an experimental and likely dangerous drug.
