@GossiTheDog how do we protect ourselves?

@GottaLaff we voted yesterday using a postal ballot that we returned to the polling station. This is legal but this time we had to tell them WHY. I wanted tonwrite"because I can"

@HistoPol @thehill the judge could do both, depending. I suspect the fine will be paid but not sure if he can keep his mouth shut.

@HistoPol @thehill Sadly the law only allows the judge to fine a max of $1000. That said, he could also give #45 30 days in jail.

@evan what is a cheque?

@evan @mattblaze I wonder if anyone is considering popping encryption of PMs within Mastodon?

@idlestate @inthehands I did it in 1971

@idlestate @inthehands I was at CMU when they did not offer a BSc in Comp Sci. Only Grad degrees. So I created a student-defined degree in "BSc Computer Problem Solving" - a combination of psychology and comp sci. Some awesome profs, including Herb Simon. But that was back in the early 1970s, and the Interweb was in it real infancy. #Node12

@inthehands I convinced my university (CMU) that programming language courses should count as foreign language courses. I argued that it allowed me to communicate with computers, the same way that learning German would help me communicate with, well, Germans. They bought the concept!
