So I need to preemptively wear anti facial recognition makeup if ever called for jury duty. Gotcha.

It seems somewhat realistic to expect an actual punishment for this, even if not properly scaled. It's worth fighting for. But being prepared alongside that is important.

Zucc's 'product' is probably the worst imo. At least Amazon gets you stuff at your doorstep. Zucc is just slop peddler m

It always amazes me how Microsoft is though. Stuff like Threads, Instagram, Facebook is incredibly evil but they still work?! I can at least understand why the majority of people who don't care are there. Microsofts products don't even work to begin with though. Everything they touch be it Xbox, Teams or Windows is just so bad i wonder how we even ended up here.

A lot of these products used to be good. 25 years ago, Outlook was the only option for mail and calendar because they worked well and nothing else was as simple or integrated. Windows XP brought an enterprise-class OS with true multitasking to the consumer. MSN messenger didn't have all the features of Teams, but it was a serious contender in the IM space. And now, I have Outlook every now and then telling me I have new mail but I cant see it until I restart the app, Windows gets shittier and more intrusive every day, and Teams on Android cant send me a notification about an upcoming meeting until the meeting actually starts, if I get a notification at all. I also wonder how they ended up this way given they were class leaders just decades ago.

Now if we can get alternatives that don't have all the problems of Microsoft at its heyday, let alone now, that would be amazing. I already have my console alternative, just a few more pieces.

Never pass up an opportunity for getting in the news. Free advertising

Wow, they are all in on this psycho bullshit aren't they

Zuckerberg was in court to testify as part of a trial over whether Meta and Alphabet-owned YouTube deliberately designed their social media platforms to encourage compulsive usage by young people.

Ironically I think rather than them wearing them for nefarious reasons, they've just been encouraged to use them for so long, that they are actually addicted to them as well.

Like, if you were forced to use your employers product at work for 10-12 hrs a day and try to come up with way to monetize it in your off hours, you may start to rely on it eventually.

Our brains are wired to always take the easiest path, that's actually the reason for technological advancement in the first place.

They probably just don't even realize they're wearing them, it's just a (mostly useless and completely impractical) part of their bodies now.

Don't stick up for the zuck, he's got fucking billions to pour into other people doing it for him.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

First of all you can’t use them for 10-12 hours a day because the battery only lasts like 2 hours. Which is a bit silly for glasses.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

They knew what they were doing, as if ignorance would be an excuse. No one wears camera glasses to court just forgetting about it.

As if they wear the things on their own time, they probably wouldn't be caught dead wearing that garbage in their free time outside of hyping the product at work. They would have custom made something.

Now that they were scolded, much will change.

Piece of shit post.
