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.

nuance is bigotry because the small minded cannot handle complex issues. we need to be inclusive of the mentally retarded.

Haven't really seen anyone around here posting about the FED BOI Patriot Front bullshit, because most of us knew from moment ONE that it was a psyop, but this is an interesting thread on the unfoldment and how fast it was debunked. Anyone see any news on it today? Nope! https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1467615140468170758.html

"A list of athletes around the world who went under cardiac arrest shortly after taking the COVID exam was created and published. It shows that there may be something wrong with the vaccine if the world’s greatest athletes suffer or die after taking the vaccines."
