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.
yahknow, if it wern’t for the fact that i know they’re a scummy company, i’d try them.
… 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?
That actually sounds badass if there was an option to not connect to anything else and also made by an ethical company.
