monica_b1998Judge 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.
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.
…your talking about what I’m thinking right? I’m not just a massive pervert right? Please 😅
Mostly people riding bicycles off the side of mountains.
Ngl, I can see an use for AI assistant glasses.
If it weren’t for the payload.
These things should not be protected property. If you assault my privacy, I should be allowed to attack back.
SturgistMost 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…
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.
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.
teft
KissakiI’m not the original commenter, but in Germany, you can record in public, but can not record individuals specifically. People walking past in the background while you record something else is fine. Recording someone specifically is not.
That’s the baseline, at least. Exceptions may apply (public figures, public interest, etc).
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personality_rights#Germany
A succinct statement of the German law can be found in the following judicial statement from the Marlene Dietrich case: the general right of personality has been recognised in the case law of the German Federal Court of Justice since 1954 as a basic right constitutionally guaranteed by Articles 1 and 2 of the Basic Law and at the same time as an “other right” protected in civil law under § 823 (1) of the BGB (established case law since BGHZ 13, 334, 338—readers’ letters). It guarantees as against all the world the protection of human dignity and the right to free development of the personality. Special forms of manifestation of the general right of personality are the right to one’s own picture (§§ 22 ff. of the KUG [de]) and the right to one’s name (§ 12 of the BGB). They guarantee protection of the personality for the sphere regulated by them.
theres probably exceptions to it like recording admittance of a crime, or a crime situation happening
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.
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.
… Spoiler for you, but Valve is a shitty company.
Irrelevant.
I imagine you’re focused on for-profit companies
zeezeeI 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 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.
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…
So it’s ok for you to have 10 years old developing a gambling habit and potentially ruining their live, because hey they are pushing Linux in gaming?
I feel like you’re straw-manning here.
I never said it’s okay. All I’m saying is that a mega-corporation can simultaneously exploit psychological loopholes for profit (loot boxes) while actively pushing open-source ecosystems (Linux), providing great value to consumers and fighting other pc gaming monopolies (Microsoft). Look at the whole picture.
Are you purposefully ignoring the entire point of my post or ignorant? I’m not talking about lootboxes. I am talking about gambling.
Is it ok to ruin a kid’s life because you are pushing Linux in gaming, yes or no?
So you’re saying that since a company is reprehensible in one area, all their other accomplishments should be judged accordingly?
Makes sense to me.
Answer the question.
I don’t like your attitude. I’m agreeing with you that it is not morally acceptable , and an actor should be judged by the worst of what they’re currently doing, not just sweep it under the rug.
Thank you. Yeah, I can be pretty confrontational sometimes.
I wish you a nice day. See you around!
It’s not.
Look, you are not necessarily wrong, in holding the opinion that Valve’s monetization practices are so horrible, that they ruin the company’s entire reputation. It’s a valid moral boundary. But at the end of the day, it’s just an opinion, not some objective law of the universe and other people can weigh the scales differently without being an evil person. Yet you portray it as the TRUTH. And it’s a bit ironic, that when people disagreed you started talking about echo chambers and attacking the community. This is why you got downvoted.
Wtf is wrong with you, lot? It seems like when you say “valve is a shitty company” is the equivalent of saying “gaben is evil incarnate and eats baby for breakfast”.
I’m starting to get sick of red pilled people commenting here saying it is an extremist view to say that a company is shitty because they have shitty practices. I’m done responding if that’s your comment, so spare us both time.
Valve is a shitty company.
Does valve make some good things? Yes. Do they make shitty things? Yes. Not hard.
You just stated the exact nuanced position I was defending from the very beginning, while simultaneously insulting me for holding it 😂
No, you cannot say that Valve is a shitty company.
Sounds to me like a parenting issue, not a valve issue.
The only parental failure I’m seeing here is you. You do not deserve to take part into an adult discussion.
i can see why you are banned, posting misinformation/disinformation with nothing to back it uo with.
Now I’ll wait for you to apologize and and acknowledge you did not have any idea of what you were talking about before commenting. I’ll let you throw day, so you can go through the entire series.
The Dark Side of Counter-Strike 2
You dunderhead, it’s been like that for years, you act like valve was the masterminded the gambling sites, crazy.
Ho, so because it’s been like that, it’s ok?
Selective reader I see, I can see why you were disliked on reddit to the point you felt the need to move on, I’ll assume this goes for a lot of other places as well based on your disposition when talking with not only me on here.
Go paint some minis and find a new 4chan dude, only place you’ll fit in without an atitude adjustment.
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.
Already done.
Why? Are they useful for anything other than proping up surveillance state?
