A tech editor recently played Game Boy Advance games on his iPhone thanks to a new emulator called iGBA, which may be the first Game Boy Advance emulator allowed on the App Store since Apple began allowing emulators last week. But is the app an unauthorized copy? Read more at @theverge. https://flip.it/AxcjDo

If current-generation LLM-based chatbots can drive people to commit crimes or even take their own lives, what do you suppose Neuralink would do to people?
The first thing I said to the person who suggested to me that human brains might be directly hooked to a computer, whenever that was, was "everyone will go insane immediately". I still believe that, but now we're beginning to see evidence.

Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel says AI will help scientists understand "most diseases" in three to five years.
@Semafor quotes the executive: “The reason we still have people dying of cancer, people suffering from Alzheimer's, is we do not understand the fundamental biology of those diseases.”

Meta lost $3.85 billion on the metaverse in the first quarter of 2024 alone. You know, that thing we all laughed about a couple years ago and next to no one actually uses.
It’s burned $45 billion on the metaverse since the end of 2020.

For a decade, Hollywood hasn’t aggressively fought piracy because it saw people would pay if they made them a good deal.
But as streaming has gotten worse and more expensive, consumers turned back to file sharing. Now the industry plans to get Congress to pass new legislation to stop them.

Once again blocked from using a website I've used regularly for years because of "unusual activity" from "your IP". After passing a captcha, no less.
Somehow bot-detecting algorithms have been degrading over time.
This is a troubling trend because people who aren't using the anointed access points of the internet struggle more and more to connect and interact. Large entities like CloudFlare choke off more and more avenues of access in the name of "security", enforcing digital checkpoints without any accountability to anyone.

#China's new #Kvisa beckons foreign #tech talent as #US hikes #H1B fee
China's new #visa program aimed at attracting foreign tech talent kicks off this week, a move seen as boosting China's fortunes in its rivalry w/ the US as a new #Trump visa policy prompts would-be applicants to look elsewhere.
While China has no shortage of skilled #engineers, the program is part of an effort by China to portray itself as a country welcoming foreign #investment & talent…

Apple is cutting Vision Pro production as it fails to meet sales targets.
Analysts expected it to sell 700-800k units in 2024, but it could now be as low as 400k. A lower cost model could now be pushed beyond 2025, if it ever arrives.

🚔 SOLUTION: #BAN ANY CANDIDATE from your state ho have participated in #CRIMINAL EVENTS OR ACTIVITIES!
🔥 BREAKING NEWS: A #MOTION has been #FILED to #REMOVE #Donald_Trump from #VIRGINIA #BALLOTS too!! 14 HOURS AGO. #MERRY_XMAS;)!
🔥 They is nothing you can make GREAT again. START WITH YOUR #LOSER_SELF! TRY TO MAKE THAT #GREAT AGAIN! ..WHILE in #PRISON!
🔥 A major development unfolds as a motion is filed to remove Donald Trump from Virginia's upcoming ballots, citing his alleged #engagement in #insurrection against the #United_States.
The legal move invokes the #Fourteenth_Amendment and claims Trump's candidacy taints the election with #illegality.
If Virginia proceeds, it would be the #second state, following #Colorado, to take such action. Trump had previously criticized Colorado's decision on Truth Social, deeming it a "SAD DAY IN AMERICA" and a "WHAT A SHAME FOR OUR COUNTRY!!!" The question now arises: should other states also remove Trump from their ballots, considering the serious allegations against him?
RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — A motion has been filed for an injunction to remove former President Donald Trump from presidential primary ballots in Virginia in 2024.
The motion, which was filed on Monday, Dec. 18 in district court in Alexandria by Roy L. Perry-Bey of Hampton, alleges that Trump is “constitutionally ineligible under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment” to run for federal office “based on his engagement in insurrection against the United States” following the 2020 presidential election.
Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol Building on Jan. 6, 2021, emboldened by Trump’s unproven claims that the recent election was marred with fraud. He is currently set to stand trial, facing numerous charges, as the U.S. Department of Justice works to prove that he was directly responsible for the violence that day.
“Mr. Trump has declared his candidacy for president again in 2024,” reads the motion. “However, under the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, Mr. Trump is constitutionally ineligible to appear on any future ballot for federal office based on his engagement in insurrection against the United States.”

So @miaq from Flipboard posted a video explaining to creators how Flipboard will work in the Fediverse.
Explanation on how the Fediverse benefits Flipboard@mia also posted that creators on Flipboard can apply to have their accounts Federated.
If you’re interested in getting your Flipboard account federated, you can apply here. Please note: we are currently only federating creators and curators who have two or more active Magazines and no trust and safety issues. (Flipboard on Medium)
I already applied, although due to my Flipboard account’s small size, I doubt I will get selected—but the worst answer I will receive is “No.” (I am @darnell which is not Federated yet as of this post).
I already have numerous accounts in the Fediverse, & for those wondering why, the answer is simple: I like to curate! 😂 Here is a list of my accounts on the Fediverse thus far:
@darnell 🕺🏾 Darnell Clayton: personal blog sharing my name. I originally created it to distinguish myself from other Darnell Clayton’s (one was in the adult film industry who I did not want others to confuse as me). Powered by WordPress
@darnell 🐘 Darnell (One): Primary status update & Fediverse Firehose—everything connects here (powered by Mastodon)
@darnell 🦁 Darnell (M.O.E.): My Misskey instance where I discuss Movies, Opuses, & Entertainment.
@darnell 📸 Darnell (Out Of Office): My Pixelfed instance where I show pictures outside of work (usually while traveling). Manually porting pictures from Instagram.
@darnell 💻 Darnell (Seize The Day): Various thoughts about technology (internet, software, etcetera). Powered by WriteFreely via Write.as
@darnell 👨🏾💻 Darnell (TeleVerse): Poltical, cultural & sometimes technological rantings into the digital cloud. Powered by WordPress
@darnell 🌍 Darnell (Africa): My opines about what is happening on my favorite continent. Powered by WordPress
@darnell 🧵 Darnell (Threads): personal status update where I can connect with family, friends & frenemies addicted to Meta
@darnell 🧘🏾♂️ Darnell (Creative Outlet): My Creativity site where I feature inspirational art, quotes, spiritual wisdom, music & videos.
@darnell 🔞 Darnell (Hard News): Topics not suitable for work. Covering some of the more violent & horrors afflicting humanity that need to be discussed, but not around children. Powered by WriteFreely via Write.as
Back On Topic (Flipboard)
Last year, in December, I suggested Flipboard federate magazines (I do not think I was the only one suggesting this) & to my surprise, Flipboard began federating magazines in February this year.
I believe Flipboard will become the largest instance in the Fediverse due to ActivityPub being activated by default (Threads, by contrast, will turn off ActivityPub by default) & potentially become a central information hub that could rival Google News.
I currently use @mastofeed (by @Barredo) to connect my Flipboard account to Mastodon, but Flipboard’s RSS feed does not reveal my commentaries when sharing) which can be confusing.
If my Flipboard account has ActivityPub activated, I could repost my thoughts from Flipboard to the Fediverse with my opinions intact.
