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.

Hey guys, you have to get vaccinated or we'll make your life miserable because we care about you.
Oh, by the way, your only option is totally new vaccine technology but we promise it is safe and has no long term consequences even though it is, by definition, impossible to prove that.

Donald Trump Jr.
🤔 Just randomly thinking about the fact that Hunter Biden and his associates were paid $11+ million by the Chinese communists and Hunter is the subject of an ongoing federal criminal investigation yet the corporate media has largely ignored both since that news broke last year.

A good read:
MIT Abandons Its Mission. And Me.
I have consistently maintained that woke ideology is essentially totalitarian in nature: it attempts to corral the entirety of human existence into one narrow ideological viewpoint and to silence anyone who disagrees.
I believe that these features ultimately derive from the ideology’s abandonment of the principle of the inherent dignity of each human being.
