  • It’s totally butthurt.

    People around the world are genuinely pissed that the richest country on Earth is threatening their right to not have to go through another world war because 77 million dumbasses reckoned electing a fascist felon pedo in the White House was a-okay.

    My company has stopped selling to American customers, so that they wouldn’t pay tariffs and fund the fascist state each time they ordered from us, and I can tell you the business we picked up in Europe just for deciding to do that is well worth the loss of income from American customers.




  • (no consumer is going to pay for extended) begins to really push people to Windows 11

    Consumers aren’t exactly ecstatic about throwing away perfectly serviceable computers just so Microsoft can push their spyware-cum-advertising platform down their throats either.

    I’d say this is a great push towards Linux for anybody who knows anything about computers and isn’t a corporation with a dumbass MCSE jockey as an “IT” guy.















  • It may not be on all the time, but the minute the wearer says, for example, “Hey Siri [or whateever Fuckerberg’s version of Siri is], please translate that menu in English”, then the damn thing starts recording - and possible flash a red light, if you say it does that - and you’re in the frame, you’ve already lost. Facebook has your mug on camera, whether you wanted it or not.

    That’s my problem with these things: the whole idea of even using them implies that everybody around the wearer relinquishes their right to privacy by default, something I for one am totally not okay with.

    If the wearer wants to submit to Facebook’s surveillance, it’s their problem. But those of us who care about not interacting with Facebook in any way, shape or form are dragged into the wearer’s choices and don’t have any say about it.


  • The problem with those AI glasses isn’t the AI part of it, but the always-on cameras with that terrible, terrible company Facebook always watching.

    Whoever wears those things in public will have the same problem those who tried wearing Google’s smartglasses experienced a few years back: people who recognize they’re being filmed against their will will get angry, demand that the gormless geek doff the cameras, then punches will be thrown if the geek doesn’t comply.

    Smartglasses - particularly those powered by privacy-invading monopolies - are socially out of place. They’re not really desired or welcome anywhere. Even Google recognized this and pulled the plug on their smartglasses project, and Facebook will too if they have any common sense.
