A new Coddy Developer Survey found that four in five developers, 80%, say their use of AI has felt more like a dependence than an advantage.

I've told some good dad jokes, and some fine dad jokes. Even a few great dad jokes, but I have to be honest I've never told a really grand dad joke.

Former Halo composer, failed game studio head and current MAGA chud Marty O'Donnell

O'Donnell is the Republican nominee to represent Nevada's 3rd congressional district in the 2026, challenging incumbent Democrat Susie Lee.

Oh no he's back in politics

You'd think a guy who worked on fucking Halo in its heyday would know about co-op games

This is a very serious question. Since what we usually refer to as "weight" is actually mass if we use weight-loss drugs are we technically using weapons of mass destruction? :3c

A U.S. judge on Aug. 21 struck down a Trump administration policy suspending the issuance of immigrant visas to applicants from 75 countries, saying that the policy exceeded Secretary of State Marco Rubio's statutory authority.

U.S. District Judge Jeannette Vargas in Manhattan said the policy that the State Department announced in January was "patently unlawful" and ran afoul of federal immigration law, which explicitly stripped the secretary of state of authority over consular officers' processing of immigrant visas.

"The Policy, which categorically prohibits the issuance of immigrant visas based upon the nationality of the applicant, represents a direct abrogation of this statutory scheme," Vargas wrote.

The United States imposed 50% tariffs on $20 billion worth of Canadian products early Saturday, and Canada immediately said it would retaliate, after last-ditch negotiations failed to resolve the latest strain in already tense relations between the historic allies.

Donald Trump’s import taxes will hit about 5% of what Canada ships to the United States every year, including products ranging from hockey sticks to tongue depressors.

“Canada will match those tariffs dollar for dollar to protect our workers and businesses,” Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said in a statement. The retaliation escalates the trade conflict and calls into question the future of a North American trade pact between the United States, Canada and Mexico that is crucial to industry in all three countries.

Any and all LGBTQIA+ shows are of course welcome, but I'd be happy to watch something in which trans and non-binary are represented. 😭🩷🩵🤍

If possible, don't just slap the title in the comments, but also tell me why you like the show!

Have a safe, happy, healthy day 🫶

My roommate found a bunch of these at a thrift store near Toronto Canada. No tags so potentially home made the arms are noodly and you can chain them together. No idea what this guy is but we love it and wish we got more.

Log Cabin Republicans, a leading organization for gay conservatives, will no longer advocate for transgender people, a significant break within the LGBTQ movement as the GOP makes opposition to trans rights a political and policy priority.

The influential group added support for transgender issues to its platform more than a decade ago amid growing cultural acceptance. But Log Cabin Republicans President Ross Hemminger told CNN that in recent years his members have grown increasingly uncomfortable with the focuses of the trans community, including gender-affirming care for minors and the participation of trans girls and women in sports.

Abstract

Psychedelics can profoundly alter consciousness by reorganizing brain connectivity, producing acute experiences that shape lasting psychological change. Psychedelic dynamics are commonly described as desynchronized or entropically disordered, yet the brain organization underlying self-dissolving and boundary-dissolving experiences that participants often report, and how context shapes that organization, remain unresolved. To address this, we acquired the largest single-site psychedelic neuroimaging dataset to date. Sixty-two adults underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) during rest and naturalistic stimuli (meditation, music and movie), before and on the day of psilocybin administration (fMRI ~ 80 min post-dose; EEG ~ 150 min post-dose). Half ranked the experience among the most meaningful of their lives. Here, using machine learning to represent the brain dynamics of each individual as low-dimensional trajectories, we show that psilocybin reorganizes brain activity into structured, context-sensitive patterns that co-vary with the quality of subjective experience, revealing a latent order missed by time-averaged measures. Networks that ordinarily segregate internal and external processing integrated, producing cohesive context-aligned trajectories in participants reporting the felt experience of being continuous with, rather than separate from, the environment, a state we refer to as embeddedness. The strength of this context alignment scaled with both the depth of self-dissolving and boundary-dissolving experience and the next-day mindset change. Our findings recast apparent disorder as latent organization aligned with context, linking neurobiology to subjective experience and behavioural change.

Author comment:

I made a poster based on last week’s comic that you can buy from the store :D

So i recently setup home server with qbittorrent+gluetun, i have surfshark so i can select any country from the server list. Im wondering which ones would have least tracker blocking?

Cuz I have noticed that many torrents have trackers that are blocked when a EU country is selected. Should I set Russia as the default? Anybody have experience in this?

Hi!

I just repoted my two biggest plants, a Yucca and a Ruscus, with the sustrate blend this community recommended last time. I think they look really good, definitely better than before.

I've seen my suspicions were correct sadly, the dirt was so compacted it had started to compact and kill off some roots. Thankfully none of these two had extensive damage. Also! The Yucca had grown so quickly it wasn't developed enough to hold its own weight, so I straightened it with a makeshift splint and it looks healthier now, I'll leave it a couple months and see how it goes.

Thank you for all the help! Any suggestion or info is greatly appreciated.

(Btw, it only lets me post one photo. Is one the limit or can I add more and just don't know how?)
