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.

The UK is pathetic
Birmingham police let Insulate Britain mob walk FREE... only for activists to return and stop traffic three hours later
I feel sorry for the people who have jobs and ave to go to work,, people actually want electric cars but they are currently too expensive for a lot of people, plus not enough car charging points in some areas.

Signal is making a part of their server source code proprietary software:
"To keep Signal a free global communication service without spam, we must depart from our totally-open posture and develop one piece of the server in private".
Taking into account it's centralized nature and that they don't allow third party clients, Signal seems to be just as bad as other "privacy" oriented companies.
Leave Signal and join a truly private, decentralized and libre protocol like #XMPP

Programming is when you never have the time or money to do it right, but always have the time and money to do it twice.
