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.

DR. ETIQUETTE 🤦♂️
@DRETIQUETTE
Every “tested” drug add I see on TV has tons of listed side effects. It’s weird that this latest one seems to have none.

Imagine what AT&T could do back then if it had gone full evil - sue everyone with the original Unix setuid patent.

i dunno how you successfully penalize against lawfare though. first introduction to that was things like when the RIAA would use fake conspiracy charges to harvest names behind IP addresses, drop the charges and then go try to blackmail people individually. There was also AT&T filing nonsense suits against Vonage and a long history of similar cases of just “bury them in fake cases and hope they go bankrupt”
we never stopped it we just ended up naming the practice.
