Comment on Judge scolds Mark Zuckerberg's team for wearing Meta glasses to social media trial

The sales of the glasses have been better than their VR headset which has really made them double down on the glasses as they see big potential. That said, I really think that it is a false hope as I suspect the market that is ok wearing Facebook glasses are small, but loyal.

… Spoiler for you, but Valve is a shitty company.
chasteinsect@programming.dev 2 weeks ago
Maybe just maybe it’s because it’s not as black or white as you make it seem? Especially talking about a company that did so much for Linux and looking at what their competition is doing…
entwine@programming.dev 2 weeks ago
I agree with you, but I get where the rabid fanboyism is coming from. The lack of competition in tech due to a variety of bullshit reasons (mostly corruption, look what Biden’s FTC was trying to do compared to Trump 2’s mask-off approach) have people pissed off and angry at the monopolists. Valve just so happens to be the least-bad monopolist in tech, so people like them.
People need to get competition-pilled, so they realize that Valve isn’t our savior, and are in fact part of the problem too. They might be considered “good” today, but that’s because our standards have never been so low.
Things can be, and should be better.

i can see why you are banned, posting misinformation/disinformation with nothing to back it uo with.
Smaile@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
How are they shitty. You can’t claim their bad without explaining why, I think you just don’t like the fact some people actually respect a company rather then hate on them like the rest.
lobut@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
I get why people like Valve so much (I like some of their services too) but there’s too much deification. It’s like “oh mighty Gabe!”. I get some of it was tongue-in-cheek a bit initially but it seems so many people take it seriously.
They’re a company that provides some services I like but the gambling shit is bad especially when you see people on YT talking about how they were lured in when they young and how much money was lost and how many streamers were running scam companies. It’s not good.

Why? Are they useful for anything other than proping up surveillance state?

That actually sounds badass if there was an option to not connect to anything else and also made by an ethical company.

What’s the different between that and everyone having their phone’s out all the time, you know they get text readout on the lenses and stuff right?
Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
I’ve seen some amazing POV footage from them, because the lens is actually in line with your eye level.
So, a lot of the market would be people who would otherwise use a GoPro.

These things should not be protected property. If you assault my privacy, I should be allowed to attack back.
Sturgist@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Most countries it’s legal to record in public, as there’s no reasonable expectation of privacy. Though these are a bit different than say someone with a phone or camera, as unless you pay close attention the glasses are easy to miss…
entwine@programming.dev 2 weeks ago
I disagree. Secretly recording someone with a phone is much easier than doing it with one of these. It’s the same issue people had with Google Glass back in the day.
I think the reason it feels creepier is because, if you’re talking with someone that’s wearing them, it feels like they’re sticking a camera in your face.
But like I could turn on my phone camera, leave it sticking out of my pocket, and record everyone taking a piss in a public restroom with nobody noticing. If I tried to do that with glasses, I’d have to turn my head towards everyone’s cock, one at a time. The neck pain alone makes it not worth the effort.
But to be clear, fuck Meta. These glasses should be banned for many other reasons.
Sturgist@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Agree with you for the most part.
Though your example of a public toilet is a bit flawed, since there IS a reasonable expectation of privacy.
Google Glass was waaaaaaaaaay more obvious.

Where the meta ones are a little less so.

Depending on lighting, and distance from the Glasshole, could be really hard to spot the Meta ones.
phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
These glasses cams are small enough to no longer be visible as a camera.
I’m all for freedom to record outside but this is a step too far as this is not me making a video for me, this is Facebook using idiots to record the world 24/7 for them.
I’m fine with humans recording humans, immnot fine with companies recording me

You have no assumed privacy in a public space. How long is it going to take people to learn this.
smeenz@lemmy.nz 2 weeks ago
Depends where you are. Germany , for example has laws that make it illegal to record people in public doing things that could embarrass or demean them.
Japan made google throw out their original streetview data and do it again with a shorter pole so that it didn’t look over people’s fences.
Different countries have different laws.
