This isn’t technically fully biopunk because space ships and stuff, but the biology of the world in Prospector plays a huge role and I’d definitely recommend seeing it in part just because of how well they did portraying an alien world with a lot of weird alien quirks to it.

I feel like it’s unfortunate they didn’t highlight the open source options where the customer is not the product as their article closer, but rather of a quote about how Reddit could be such a better place. Seems to entirely miss the point.
This. We tried that last election cycle and be wasn’t happy with the results from the people and attempted to falsify and overthrow them. NO SECOND CHANCES.
I had to do some googling, but it looks like it was the Apple Network Server that I'm thinking of.
Everyone absolutely thought the original click wheel iPod, the iPhone and the iPad were all doomed to fail. Hell, the Apple watch didn't exactly get off to a hot start for that matter.
And back at the beginning, the Mac OS GUI. Yes, Steve Jobs saw the idea of a graphical GUI at Xerox Park, but what his engineers turned out is something completely different. And at the time it was easily as revolutionary as the touchscreen interface of the iPhone.
Actual duds by Apple that I can think of off the top of my head:
- The Cube
- The Mac IIcx
- The Mac IIfx
- Whatever that ungodly massive Unix box was that they branded as Apple
- The liquid cooled G5 cheesgrater
Some are better than others, but they’re all fairly high quality? I’ve definitely read worse than even the ones I’m not super thrilled about, so I’d say it’s worth reading them all if you have the time.
So the gAslightIng is infesting even scientific publications now??
Something be Neal Stephenson, lol.
I did this the hard way by creating my own plugin and then got schooled in the comments on how to actually do it for any bookmark. Link:

PS: Don't duplicate your post on a bunch of different servers, it just creates a lot of unnecessary spam for people. I can see at least 3 in a row from lemmy.ml.
I kind of wish there was a way to “forward” your community if you realize someone else is doing a better job in a different instance too. So essentially all your users and traffic would just redirect to the other instance from that point on.
I am subscribed to like 3 different printsf communities and only one is even halfway active at this point. Would be nice if there was a way to consolidate under one banner.
