    Expected asshole behavior from Meta and zero sympathy to people who buy that trash.

      I was about to type pretty much the exact same thing, but I figured it would already be here for me to upvote :)

      androids like zuckerberg are unlikely to have emotions, or humanity.

        technophobia, or dislike of corporations that would kill people if it meant more profit?

    Good headline. Didn’t call them “owners”. Because this doesn’t happen to something you own.

    Article’s first sentence already fails though.

    This bait-and-switch bullshit has gone way too far and I hope the few dozen socialists that get elected this fall really wreck this shit for the billionaires and force regulation.

        They seemed reasonable for people that like fishing and the like (ignoring the huge privacy issues).

      I am kind of into the idea of having a little screen on the peripheral of my glasses for a heads up display as an interface with my phone. Or even as a full screen mirror for my phone to be able to browse lemmy or watch video while still keeping an eye on my surrounding. I really can’t imagine why they decided they also needed to have it record everyone secretly.

    Usually one would wait til their product take over the market before enshitifying it. For this one, they don’t even have a feasible market. Who am I to judge tho.

    I kinda think that’s hilarious and how everyone that bought these go broke. Maybe at least someone will finally learn something then.
