"Their Bionic Eyes Are Now Obsolete and Unsupported." A cautionary tale.
More than 350 blind ppl around the world have Second Sightโs implants in their eyes, after the company files for bankruptcy they find themselves in a world in which the technology that transformed their lives is just another obsolete gadget. One technical hiccup and they lose their artificial vision, possibly forever. The gadget also interferes with MRI scans and is expensive/difficult to remove.
Write Freely is another type of server on the Fediverse
Its focus is entirely on long form text posts, so things like articles, essays, stories etc. It has a very minimalist interface which aims to be as distraction-free as possible, so that it's easier for readers to actually read.
You can follow Write Freely accounts from Mastodon etc because they are both on the Fediverse.
There's more info on the official site at https://writefreely.org and you can follow the project at @writefreely
You can get a Write Freely account from servers listed at https://writefreely.org/instances or at https://fedidb.org/software/writefreely

It's maybe a bit surprising that they could publish the black hole in another galaxy, M87*, three years before that in our own Milky Way, but that is because even though M87 is much further away, its central black hole is absolutely massive - more than 1000 times heavier than the one in the Milky Way.
