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.

We live in NC. My husband was at the ER on Friday...they never asked him if he was vaccinated. On his discharge papers...the very last page..."Covid Vaccination" page...it stated that there was no record of his Vax.
Well...that's a fact...but one that should be NONE of their business.
They are tracking the unvaccinated

I don't believe there's a such thing as intuitive interface design. People regularly ignore numbers and arrows the size of their hands.

This is why it is a good thing Trump isn't in office right now. Brandon administration also cannot control a virus.

They overturned the #vaccine mandate block. (so you are once again compelled to get vaccinated by our dictator.)
People are going to get lined up against walls, it's up to us to determine who those people are.

JUST IN - Ghislaine Maxwell will not testify in court. "Your honor the government has not proven its case beyond a reasonable doubt, and so there is no need for me to testify," she said.
