The stranger secret: how to talk to anyone – and why you should

Forget fear of public speaking. A lot of people now shy away completely from speaking to anyone in public. But if we learn to do this it’s enriching, for ourselves and society

RE: infosec.exchange/@david_chisna

the question you should be asking yourself is not “what's the best way to verify the age of every single computer user on earth”

but rather “why the fuck are we trying to verify the age of every single computer user on earth????”

and the answer to that is: fascism
stop. complying.

Thinking about replacing my personal computer (an old MacBook Air) with a mini PC. I don't think I need a laptop for myself and I am warming to the idea of trying to use Linux on the desktop again. I wish I had a better idea of how inexpensive I could go and still have performance that didn't annoy me. A Steam Machine sounds like it would be great, but also like the pricing is way outside of what I'm thinking.

@sundogplanetsProf. Sam Lawler
This was my submission (below), if it might help anyone through the Comment section. (the first part taken from the AAS website, the second part of course, from my own perspective.)
---
I support the following resolution:

AAS Resolution on Light Pollution
Adopted 4 January 2017, Revised 7 June 2025
aas.org/about/governance/socie

Astronomy has benefited from dark skies for thousands of years, but now the rapid growth of artificial sky glow – as fast as 10% per year – is jeopardizing all of humanity’s ability to see, study, and enjoy the cosmos from the Earth’s surface. More than half of all major observatories worldwide now operate under skies that are significantly brighter than natural darkness. Abundant scientific research demonstrates that light pollution also disrupts natural ecosystems, harms human health, and wastes energy.

I will add my own words here: If our Almighty God had wanted a second sun to shine upon us, he would have put it in motion during His creation.

I hope your hearts and minds will weigh this carefully. We will all be judged someday on our stewardship of the one home we are blessed to inhabit, and the star-packed heavens above.

Thank you for your consideration
