I’m starting to think that without the advertisement industry that the whole world’s capitalistic societies would collapse. Where else is value so subjective that you can earn a million bucks if you are slightly famous and in a 30 second commercial.

I honestly don’t understand ads and people who “fall” for them. There were a few local ads here of locally famous footballer next to a Hyundai and a slogan like: blabla gives Hyundai two thumbs up. Why would he care? What does he know about cars? He’s not even pretending to drive a Hyundai irl.

Just be like the French and ban billboard advertising. No need for these stupid gadgets.

Any AR or XR glasses that don’t sell your data to everyone who gives a shady glance? or can be modified not to?

If you can superimpose a blocker over real-world ads, you can superimpose ads onto plain walls too

Enjoyed the article but augh that sticky banner at the top that follows as I scroll took up 30% of my reading space. Gave up halfway through to enable reader mode on Firefox mobile…

Seems to me pointless, biggest one being, if this was developed in a working manner, and was used… advertisers would mix between going more subtle, or more obnoxious. Just like on the web.
IE subway stations could put say a code you need to get into the subway in the middle of an advertisement. IE the real life equivelant of “you must disable your adblocker to continue”.

If there’s a real world screen showing a real world ad to you, you’ve got to be really careful not to lean against the screen with a broken spark plug or some other sort of ceramic shard, because you could easily shatter the screen and make it really hard for you and other people to be advertised to 👉👈🥺

Work 8 hours
Sleep 8 hours
Play 8 hours
Old-school dystopias were a fucking dream compared to the modern world I guess.
MangoCats@feddit.it 9 months ago
So, through my lifetime that “Work 8 hours” somehow evolved into:
Leave for work at 7am. Show up for work by 8am. Get an hour for lunch, unpaid. Leave work at 5pm. Get home approximately 6pm, if you don’t stop to buy groceries or something.
I suppose commuting and lunch are supposed to be part of those “8 hours of play”?
NoSpotOfGround@lemmy.world 9 months ago
I’m all for the “SLEEP 8 HOURS” bit though. I need more of that in my life.
MysticKetchup@lemmy.world 9 months ago
If anything this is an overly optimistic representation of consumerism given that they limit work to 8 hours and encourage 8 hours of play

it sounds good, until you realize that it needs not only AR glasses, but one with built in cameras.
such glasses need to be banned yesterday. AR glasses are obviously not the problem, but basically walking always on cameras are
radding@lemmy.ca 9 months ago
Ban them? No.
While there are misuses and privacy invasions, they still can be beneficial for some people. Bracket bans only harm those who can truely benefit from it (visual impaired, deaf, folks who need translations etc )
ILoveUnions@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Special permits are a non issue. Disguised in any way cameras should be banned outright tbh
WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 9 months ago
yes. ban them. they are already illegal in civilized countries for recording people without their expressed consent.
ok, maybe I wasn’t clear, ban them from public spaces, including venues. you can use it at home if you want, and at your friends if they don’t send you home for it.
they can point their phones’ focused camera on the text they want to translate.
for disabilities, we need to research tools that allow affected people to exist more freely while being compatible with privacy.
yes, I’m also against artificial eyes that work electronically or can connect to an electronic system
lime@feddit.nu 9 months ago
all ar glasses need cameras. that’s how they figure out where in the r to put the a.
WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 9 months ago
not really. AR glasses don’t have to be aware of your surroundings, they can just place content relative to where you look, and they can use a gyroscope as a compass for more advanced things. maybe there are other sensors that would be useful too while being compatible with privacy.
