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 are living through an insane scenario that future historians will write about for years: Americans were told to take medical advice on COVID-19 from the same guy who funded the creation of COVID-19.

[Quote RT Candace Owens 
@realcandaceo] [RT @mrst106]
“We will be looking at what contract tracing looks like in the New World Order.”
Is the Australian government trying to rile everyone up or do they just want everyone to know that they no longer care about keeping their ambitions secret?
This is insanity.

@Doc_0: "Vaccination rates were damaged in the long run by misleading people into thinking the vaccines prevent coronavirus transmission, rather than reducing the severity of infection. (Yes, that impression was definitely given, no matter how much revisionists claim nobody ever said it.)"

@namark @swiley people are not apt to admit their mistakes. and now they feel bamboozled with all that codid hoax. but they won't tell you the truth and simply admin they were foolish. they will stand on this till the bitter end, defenting the lies. even if this look totally nonsensical. because they don't want to look wrong. so don't insist. you won't get them even now when it's clear the whole thing was a plain scam.

I'm a firm believer of Hanlon's Razor, but over a week, Facebook has flagged a post and a comment of mine, both about Mastodon (and including a link to http://joinmastodon.org)

I strongly dislike posting about politics other than software related stuff here but this is starting to really freak me out.
I'm not getting vaccinated. I had good arguments against it, there's the lack of long term data, the fact that it's orders of magnitude more dangerous than other vaccines for a disease that quite frankly is not very deadly for people my age. There's the social issues surrounding it.
But now people are talking about forcing it on each other. For that reason alone I'll refuse it.
I'll die on this hill, don't push me.

My new Cosmo Communicator arrived yesterday. It is designed to be linux compatible and android. So after following the official instructions I now have both Debian Linux and Android running on it.
KDE isnt well suited for a device with somewhat limited mouse capabilities (there is a trackpad like device on the back that acts as a second display), also it is KDE, ew. so first thing I did was install i3-gaps which is a primarily keyboard based tiling window manager. It works like a charm!
Everything so far has pretty much worked out of the box (though updating the firmware I did think I bricked it for a moment, thankfully it is fixed).
My i3 configuration is the same as on my desktop, im happy!

Who would have thought that a tech company would use a feature marketed as being for security to exert remote control on their customer's computers instead? https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2021/09/riot-games-anti-cheat-software-will-require-tpm-secure-boot-on-windows-11/
