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.

Privacy is a human right. Stand up for that right with a donation to Tor.

Apparently the corrupt Dem governor of Nevada wrecked his car driving drunk a couple weeks ago. The cops only sobriety-tested the guy he hit, then a pair of mysterious Asian guys came and cleaned out the governor's car. Red Chinese handlers? We know the CCP owns every lockdown politician in America.

i've become pretty convinced that it's incredibly dangerous for adolescents to have online social circles at all
social media fucks us all up but when you're still in the impressionable "uncritically absorbing your culture's values and folkways" neurological stage you should not be routinely associating with people outside your immediate physical community, period
and people who take advantage of the vulnerability of children to reprogram them as footsoldiers for a political cause should face the death penalty, they're the moral equivalent of pedophiles

@shebang @wolf480pl i find it deeply concerning how much everyone has just gone along with "the experts" handwaving established consensus wrt. how testing should be done and why long term trials are important and basically just "well TV said it's good so lets force everyone in to it."
the justification for why its OK that gets cited is literally regarding a guy who paid a perfunctory fine for refusing one with a 100 year service record.
this one doesn't even have a fucking control group.

weird fedi take
if people won't even stand up for having things forcibly injected in their bodies, what makes you think they're going to stand up for the trivial shit like 'less working hours'

So was chatting with someone regarding #VAERS_India tag.
Was told vaccines cause magnetism in humans and media is suppressing...
Agree that govt isn't transparent on data but idiotic objections aren't helping either.
You can't combat lack of transparency with superstition.
