Also, Google glasses were just as creepy.
I mean yeah, but again, remove a camera and it’s actually a very useful product for a very specific purpose.

They don’t have to be sunglasses. Google glasses worked how many years ago.
They are all non-critical things
I mean, nothing strictly speaking is. But having hands-free screen actually opens some nice possibilities that holding a phone in your hand doesn’t afford.
Anyways, that’s irrelevant because meta glasses don’t have screens. So, no AR functionality.
Wait, they don’t? What the fuck is the point then.

A glasses with a display were always my dream. But with actually good controls, which it looks like the current iteration of pervert glasses actually have, it’s more than I ever dreamed for. You can display a minimap there, you can do some media control, display relevant info if you’re working on something, speaker’s notes when you do the presentation, the possibilities are numerous.
If there will be a distinct version without a camera I might actually consider overcoming my hate for Zuck’s bullshit (but more probably I’ll wait for zuckless version) -

Yeah, but it’s designed, purposefully, to trick people into believing you can just let it do whatever. And people do. Hense the whole problem we’re talking about.

The car analogy doesn’t work because you’re not the one making the code/driving the car. It drives itself, and you sometimes can propose some directions for it to steer.
The problems with llm aren’t just that sometimes your shit doesn’t work or obviously bad, that’s what you’re talking about, and that’s what minimally responsible sloperators can catch. The main problem is it writes something that looks OK to a human (that’s a criteria for it) but sometimes it’s unexpectedly idiotic in random places (because not being idiotic wasn’t a criteria). You need to check way more thoroughly for it, and you can’t use normal shortcuts that help you with it. So you obviously don’t do that. -

With enough seniour developer’s time and dedication you can spend days and enough water to flood a town, so you can badly maybe do something that a junior dev can do already (your shit will still be worse). If that’s not an achievement of a modern technology I don’t know what is.

on ‘I had to change where my kids sleep’: Man shares terrifying experience, says Amarillo officer tracked him 78 times in c/technology@lemmy.world · 11 Sep 2026
If you’re indoctrinated from childhood that you have achieved ultimate freedoms, the concept of fighting for said freedoms feels not just alien to you, but completely disconnected. You can’t even understand that you, an American, need to do something. It’s like explaining to a fish that water isn’t a universal constant. Except, this time fish was never actually in the water and is currently being deep-fried.

on Tesla killing Solar Roof is leaving installers with six-figure losses in c/technology@lemmy.world · 8 Sep 2026
That’s not the line though. Some words are not used for a reason, everyone understands it. It’s not some magical incomprehensible mystery, it’s a basic human decency.

You’re are allowed to do whatever the fuck you want. You’re not allowed to bitch like a child if whatever you’re doing will provoke the reaction that might be unpleasant to you. That’s how community self-regulates. One idiot says “unalive”, someone else tells them that they’re a fucking idiot, they don’t want to be called an idiot, they don’t say “unalive” anymore, that’s how it supposed to work.

on Hang on to your Firefox! in c/technology@lemmy.world · 2 Sep 2026
Why would anyone waste enormous amount of energy making a new engine, when forked Gecko works and you can backport Mozilla’s updates to it. Same way with Linux, everyone uses Linux kernel because it exists.
When/if those project die, that’s when you’ll start seeing replacements, and at some point the best or most popular will be seen as mainstream and will be a focus point of all the enthusiasts. Like Firefox now.
There is absolutely no reason to believe that a corporation is required to have a good opensource project, just because right now a corporation maintains this specific one.These forks are in essence just preconfigured and hardened Firefox
That’s also not true for a lot of the projects. Forks maintain their own code, porting new updates from Mozilla’s stuff, but they aren’t required to port everything, and that’s the big reason to use them.
-
on Hang on to your Firefox! in c/technology@lemmy.world · 2 Sep 2026
if Mozilla stopped maintaining Firefox, almost all of its forks would die.
That’s an assumption. You’re severely underestimating the amount of work open source maintainers put into those things.
Would these people pay […] Canonical for their work?
Plenty of nice distribs exist without being maintained by a corporation. Good on them, for getting to have a bunch of money of the opensource, but it’s not a necessary model for the opensource projects to survive.
I see a lot of people shit on Firefox for integrating LLM-related features
And that’s good, as it should be. They crammed this bullshit that nobody asked for, and reluctantly gave a button to opt out a year later, and it’s still on by default. This is bad behavior regardless of your stance on it.

Now picture a different, more computer-curious plumber. He doesn’t hate computers, so he reads two pages on a wiki and now can at least spot when the url has changed or when the diff added some new step that wasn’t there before. You don’t need computer science degree to see that there is a new command that weren’t previously, and google that command.

Caring about future wasn’t that popular among kids anyway, but when everyone kinda accepts that the future should be sacrificed on an altar of a line going up, it’s even harder to care. We’re going to burn last available resources and warm planet until we can’t grow crops anymore, so we can generate bad videos of Will Smith eating spaghetti. Who the fuck cares about long division or mitochondria when the most popular occupation in 2050 is projected to be “water refugee”.
Sure, it’s a doom scenario, it’s not guaranteed, we can somehow persevere, humanity always does. And even in the doom scenario It’s not impossible that we’ll conserve the civilization in some form.
What we have lost forever is the trust of our kids, that ship has sailed. When Greta Thunberg asked us not to destroy the planet, the collective response was mockery, anger, and pedo threats. There is a generational disdain bigger than it was for boomers. -

I grew up with no portable electronics available at all, we also didn’t learn shit. If your topic is shit and your presentation is boring, kids would find how to ignore you. If it’s interesting, they will listen to you no matter how many smartphones they have. It’s hard, that’s for sure, but this infantilising bullshit makes it harder, not easier. You have to treat the kids like people, that’s the only way. Also you need to recognise that they aren’t adults, so you can’t expect them have hours of uninterrupted attention, smartphones or not.

on In a universe of enshitification, Linux is one of the few things that consistently gets better. in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world · 12 Aug 2026
I’m referring to the letter of his when he said that he’s not going to ban generated code, not gonna “wage a war” on it or whatever. It might sound like “devs are still accountable for the code they commit” and all is a good position, but like with a lot of the other shit, if you’re not explicitly ban 100% of it, you’re now in a position of arguing with bots about nonsense. You still can be tough and all, but you’re alone and the bots are numerous and nonsense is neverending.
That’s what I mean not-anti-slop, and right now it looks like being all fence-sitting about this wouldn’t actually work. I predict that he’ll either will rethink the policy, or limit the amount of patches merged significantly, or lose his mind and will write a big rant and possibly does something stupid. -

on Amid RAM price hikes, Microsoft reportedly raises Windows license cost, forcing OEMs to hike prices even further on hardware in c/technology@lemmy.world · 11 Aug 2026
Oh, they fucking do that? Bloody hell, that’s low. Maybe it depends on a country, but when I bought my previous Lenovo around 2019, they had an option without the OS and it was slightly cheaper, and only available for a small subset of laptops.
The only new laptop I got since was Framework, and obviously, they’re also great in this regard, but I feel like they’re outliers. -

If a company is doing it it’s already is. But most are selling you windows compulsively.
There is a saying in Russian that sounds something like “one little claw is stuck means the whole bird gets eaten”. In other words, slop, not even once.
I have an old collegue that I meet about once a year. A year ago he was all about using it responsibly and stuff, this year we started arguing about merits of slop, and in the middle of conversation he opened a phone, asked a bot for more arguments, and read the response verbatim.
