"here was some sort of intentional & directed intervention in their creation, but with a focus on making the resulting being an enhanced human rather than an “other”"
Yes, this is how I remember #Friday after all these years. And for me, therefore, she is a n #android of the biological variant.
Now, let's verify what the book says:
Page 251
"Instead, when creation of artificial persons became possible, their genes..."
"...the clearest example of this is John #Brunner's 1968 novel Into the Slave #Nebula, where the blue-skinned #android slaves are explicitly shown to be 👉fully human👈.[35]..." might be another example.
I haven't read this book, but it review on #Goodreads sounds intriguing: "It was carnival time..."
..."#android" can mean either one of these,[3]
while a cyborg ("cybernetic organism" or "bionic man") would be a creature that is a combination of organic and mechanical parts...
The term made an impact into English pulp science fiction starting from Jack #Williamson's #TheCometeers (1936) and the distinction between mechanical #robots and fleshy #androids was popularized by Edmond #Hamilton's [very popular]..."
...#SciFi aficionados, one swallow does not make a summer.
According to Oxford Avanced... and Webster's dictionaries, the term "#android" are defined as: "(in science fiction) a robot in the shape of a person" and "mobile robot usually with a human form," respectively. Both not 100% correct.
Etymology gives us: Greek:
anḗr (genitive: andrós) = man, human being and -id < Greek -eidḗs = -shaped, pertaining to: eĩdos, Eidos - shape, form, appearance.
Getting back to #Friday.
By using the term #ArtificialPerson and describing the aspects of her genesis, this #android is clearly created "at the bottom of a long glass tube" (In The Year 2525 ;)). Therefore, she is (definitely not a robot, as she is not mechanical at all, so also no #cyborg) and also not a mutant. Apart from that, the aforementioned definitions of #android fit her..."
There is no argument in that at all.
"#Descriptive rules," so to speak.
I'm just saying that in particular, in the 2nd half of the 20th century, there were quite a few #organic#androids in #SciFi, as this informative @wikipedia entry states:
"...androids being made to look like humans on the outside but with #robot-like internal mechanics. In other stories, authors have used the word "#android" to..."

Video input on a phone is kinda huge...
"Apple Music Classical" app is now available for #Android.
And for #macOS?
Which should be zero lines of code?
No, that app is not available for macOS.
Wow.
I am not using that expensive service as I have my classical music as CDs or in other formats, but this shows how #Apple seems to be putting its own macOS at the end of everything.
While doing some digging I found this video expanding on the drama surrounding #GrapheneOS. This is an older video, but it eventually lead to the fallout between Louis Rossmann and the lead developer of the project. I don't have a dog in the fight since I'm only just dipping my toes into the world of custom #Android ROMs, but if this is the kind of behavior I can expect from GrapheneOS, I'll probably avoid it until they can prove they've matured.
Manchmal brauche ich für die Erst-Einrichtung von Hardware eine App, die zu viele Rechte verlangt. Ich möchte vor Allem den Zugriff auf meine GPS-Daten durch Fake-Daten ersetzen, während ich die Ersteinrichtung durchführe.
Gibt es eine App/Möglichkeit unter Android, den Standort zu faken?
Wenn wir ehrlich sind, sehr viele #Entwickler & #Programmierung nutzen die nächstes aufzufindente #Tools um es nicht selber zu #Entwicklung aufzusetzen und merken erst später was die für #Shit die witklich anpreisen oder sehe ich da was #falsch?

Do you use reddit mostly through the app or web?
Because I only use web, on mobile and desktop. I can't live without adblock.
