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.

Virginia governors race is effectively over despite their attempts to steal or bungle the results. #NoAgendaBannedCamp

@MutoShack Removing features as if their stuff is made for babies, insulting you if you don't like these features / want more features. Treating you like an old man for wanting a config file or /commands in an XMPP client. Making laggy crashy shitware. Overusing visual effects that are annoying and mess up screenshots by fading your windows when they lose focus from you launching the screenshot program.

Because professional soccer players getting heart attacks is perfectly normal. All for a shot that doesn't even keep you from getting the sniffles.

I’m seeing rumors of fraud in Virginia right now, Fairfax county specifically. All I can say is if those f*ckers believe that Americans, pissed off after 11 months of dealing with the losers they stole the last election for, aren’t going to go through those ballots with a fine tooth comb and prove the theft of this small election they’re beyond redeemable. People better start contemplating their life choices. We aren’t playing and people will end up in jail. At some point the gig is up.
