I have mixed feelings on this, but it is the right move for this con. Having sex-positive environments that aren't 18+ is very important. Those are spaces where you get the most from safely teaching about consent and building a culture and community around reducing SA. That takes a lot to maintain..

An important (serious) announcement about the future of Furrydelphia.
To the Furrydelphia community: Next year will be Furrydelphia's tenth year. Throughout the last ten years, we've always emphasized that we're here for the community to be their best selves. We see Furrydelphia as a place to explore, grow, learn, and discover without fear. A place to find out who you are and meet people who share your interests and experiences. Reflecting on how we can best support this goal while remaining a safe place for all attendees, we've made the decision to make Furrydelphia an 18+ event. We didn't make this decision lightly - we understand that Furrydelphia is a meaningful place to people of all ages, and don't want to exclude anyone. After discussing the needs and wants of our community, however, we realized this is the best way for us to run the programming and create the environment our attendees desire. We understand and regret that some people will be upset by this change, and we are sorry for that.

Some nuance on 3d-printing-in-the-fandom discourse. disclaimer: I'm a 3d printer enthusiast. I design'n'make custom/bespoke personal projects. tl;dr: 3d printers are being abused to make a quick buck and steal in-fandom vendor space. That's what people are against. Not against 3d printing in general

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state.

A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface.

And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).
A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

a digital illustration by Haulle of a wolf running at full-speed, in slow motion, silhouetted against the rising full moon - a composition deliberately evoking the end credits animation of the 2003 anime series "Wolf's Rain". The wolf is a mix of reddish-brown and grey.

There's a bunch of non-programmer influencers currently perpetuating the false last bastion of generative AI: code generation. The code that 99.9% of devs spit out with AI is slop. Often dangerous slop handling your private information, compromising your security, interfacing with your finances. 1/5

"[AI] made me a worse programmer. It made me depressed. Because I stopped doing the hard work, I stopped learning, I stopped growing, I stopped being the one making the software."
brettcodes.bsky.social Brett Codes @brettcodes.bsky.social · Aug 11
I wrote an essay about why I'm done using AI for coding, even if it costs me my job and career: brettcodes.com/im-done-usin...

The basic gist is: AI made me a worse, apathetic programmer. I think it's bad for humanity, the planet, and the craft of software engineering. And I'm done using it.

I love seeing everyone posting their cute snoots up close! They all look perfect for my snoot receptacles. I have a few for you to try: 💪🍆🍑🐾

Each is fun in their own way, so get that snoot over here and I'll help you thoroughly try each one 😈

Pringle the blue fennec with yellow spots picks Zip the rainbow tabby cat (who is wearing some rad purple sneakers) by putting one arm under Zip's torso and another under one of his knees, leaving one each of Zip's arms, legs, and his tail flopping downwards. You can tell by Zip's expression that his singular braincell is misfiring from the joy of flying through the air.

I'll never forget going on an adventure through one of Yayoi Kusama's lantern infinity rooms in 2022 with @articblue.bsky.social

And ever since then I've wanted to transform part of my room into that and try to recreate just a small piece of that magic 🥰

I heard Spider-Man was beating up fascists at a rally and thought that was rad.

Never give up hope in a world that makes you think there’s none left. Someone’s fighting for you, even if they’re wearing spandex.

Zip the rainbow tabby cat casually leaning against the railing of one of the indoor balconies of a hotel lobby, legs crossed. He's wearing a silly lifeguard costume consisting of a white tank top that says "lifeguard", red sun visor and fanny pack that both say "guard", a red whistle on a string hanging around his neck, a red inflatable rescue float held in one paw, and the most obnoxious white shutter shades you could ever imagine. Zip in an elevator lobby looking particularly proud of his ridiculous lifeguard costume. Zip in his lifeguard costume sitting back and relaxed in a chair of the hotel lobby, one foot paw up and prominently resting on the arm of the chair. He is definitely not paying attention so you better not drown!

Oof, well I guess that tracks. I always was confused by the warm embrace I've seen of AI outside the US, especially in East/Southeast Asian countries, and couldn't believe that they somehow had a culturally healthier relationship with their consumption. Of course it's universally harmful..
Abstract Using 30 months of panel data on 26,811 Chinese students in grades 7-12, we study how generative AI affects homework productivity and learning. The data combine monthly closed-book exams, high-school and college entrance exams, and homework scores and completion time across nine subjects. We exploit staggered AI adoption in a difference-in-differences design. AI adoption raises homework scores by 18% and reduces completion time by 30%, but lowers monthly exam scores by 20% within six months. High-stakes entrance-exam scores fall by 18 and 24%, with the full penalty emerging only after about two years. The losses are largest in social science subjects, followed by STEM and languages, and are especially large for junior students, high-achieving students, and boys. The learning losses are concentrated among roughly 80% of AI users whose behavior is consistent with homework outsourcing, as indicated by exceptionally short homework completion time coupled with high homework scores. AI users who maintain similar homework completion time as non-AI users experience small learning losses.
