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.

Dr. Anthony Fauci recommends boosters for everyone over 18 because "no vaccine lasts forever." And by "forever," he apparently means 6 months, give or take. You know, like all the other vaccines that only last 6 months ... 🤣🤣 🤡https://twitter.com/SKMorefield/status/1462514295506456582

Johns Hopkins Prof Announces New Covid Study That Will Force the CDC & NIH to Stop Ignoring Natural Immunity
A Johns Hopkins professor got tired of watching the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as the National Institutes of Health, proceed with their Covid response policies for two years now as if natural immunity doesn’t exist. Now, Dr. Marty Makary is doing something about it. He is launching his own study.

The Amish, The Homeless and The Starving people from Africa never suffered any Covid 19 problems. But then again...the government never bothers with these people...out of sight...out of mind 😑
