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.

Schools that punish students for social media comments posted on their own time, outside of school, need a lesson in the First Amendment, we told the Supreme Court. https://www.eff.org/press/releases/schools-cant-punish-students-campus-speech-including-social-media-posts-eff-tells
I kinda wanna ditch YouTube since the ads are just insane

Apple just sent me a marketing e-mail regarding apple pay. I rechecked my subscriptions, and all my e-mail preferences are turned off.
Pretty sure that's some weird trickery, since they briefly mention that some law has changed, but I didn't ask for this.

The hackers thought they were setting up an audio-based exfiltration method on an air-gapped machine, but I actually tricked them into fixing my audio on Linux
Did my cell carrier start giving me a NATed ipv6 address?
I guess they would have gotten in trouble just dumping everyone's phones on the public internet.

We *really* need to establish signing commits with a verified key as common practice in software development.
For some critical projects it should probably even be a strict requirement for collaboration 🤔
(for some it already is, but it's still the exception, not the rule)

The board voted unanimously to post the following statement on the FSF website: While our primary mission is freedom for software users, we want to be clear, the FSF board unanimously condemns misogyny, racism,and other bigotry as well as defamation, intimidation, and unfair attacks on free thought and speech.

RT @eff: When Amazon says to its drivers, “give us your biometrics or you’re fired” – that’s not consent. That’s coercion. https://t.co/cmm…

one more time for the people in the back.
until end users have un-gated full control over their software, commit access = domination over end users.
3rd party dependencies = giving strangers domination over end users.
