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.

Bob the welder who doesn't trust the pharmaceutical industry because his brother died of an overdose on his prescribed opioids is not a terrorist.
There is a point at which these people will turn him into one, and they will not like the outcome.

Holy shit it can't be that hard.

I have to wonder what's going to happen with fauci. Like, they'll keep the vax thing going until their whole regime is gone, but still. Cuomo had his own little cult of fat middle-aged women with no kids, but they were able to take that away pretty easily once he started getting uppity. Fauci's starting to sound legit deranged, getting to 'A god am I' levels of delusional. What happens when is manlet brain starts acting up?
In all seriousness, reminding the cult of fauci that he's literally 4 foot 1 is one of the best ways to put them down. The women will suffer from such intense inner conflict there, and the """men""" will be reminded that they've somehow put themselves below a literal AIDS dwarf on the social hierarchy.
