No one said it wouldn’t be painful lol

Being an ambivert is nice lol

Hm, I don’t think this has enough JPEG to fully qualify as a shitpost though

And re: phones—you can see that’s a camera. Also, they have a bright LED that indicates recording. These glasses do not.

Umm when was the last time you…you know what, let’s do an experiment, start recording a video on your phone, flip it over and look at the back and tell me where the red recording LED is LOL

Anyways, the other commenter here cited specific cases and a supreme court ruling which tied recording in a public space as a 1st amendment issue (which I didn’t know either) so now short of a new federal law passed by congress, it ain’t changing. It’s not my opinion, it’s a fact.

Lol that has nothing to do with the other, and courts have already set precedent for recording in public spaces and have generally ruled that with current laws there’s no expectation of privacy in public spaces.

The fact the camera being on someones face is almost assuredly going to be an insignificant factor in any future court case considering the sheer amount of cameras pointing at you as-is from phones (How do you know if someone is just on their phone or recording?) and security cameras and now that businesses are heavily investing in ever more cameras for their AI BS…yea, sorry to say, but nothing is going to change on that front for the foreseeable future.

Source on that? Last I checked it was nationwide that there was no expectation to privacy in public places

Google Glass was way back in like 2013, 10 years later people just expect to have cameras everywhere in public since nearly everyone now has a good camera in their pocket that they’re also using to actually take pics and videos all the time of food, places, buildings, scenery, selfies etc.

Each one of us is probably in the background of who knows many peoples pictures by now

105 gigs is nothing, you can get a 1TB external drive for ~60$

I’m getting to the point of becoming a data hoarder

What’s wrong with that‽ Join us on the dark side (according to giant corporations anyways), we have milk and cookies!

Just a simple lowly troll, nothing of importance to see here

If you have the money to go in on a lawsuit solo, you have the money to retain a local lawyer and probably travel costs.

Otherwise, you’ll have to get a class action going which in that case, a local lawyer is still retained but the cost is spread out and for class actions only 1 person of the party needs to be present (if at all)

Wow reading through it certainly sounds like it’s the plaintiff law firm that’s being scummy, predatory and even funded by some VC company “Black Diamond”

I don’t quite see the point they’re making, I’m assuming by “massive arbitration lawsuit” they mean they’re being sued because of and to get rid of the arbitration clause?

I don’t see how it’s a win for them in either case tbh, maybe they’re trying to avoid having a precedent set is all that I can think of

This is a 100% handmade meme by me lol

I actually did consider putting IE, but then I realized IE never went through enshittification it was just always shit lmao so it didn’t fit

I’m just following the warning signs, in the last year:

There’s the news of the opt-out only on tracking as you brought up. Then they fired one of their open source executives because he had the audacity to get cancer. Then they acquired an ad company because “we’re built different and we can fix her and totally not get corrupted by ads in the process”. Then the AI shit oh and ofc the news where they almost sucked Putin’s dick and pulled FF from being accessible in Russia for a day or 2

And a bunch of other stuff that I’m probably forgetting about. And that’s just within the last year.

Google and Chrome were great to! Until they weren’t. FF probably won’t ever actually die, not for a while at least. But the User and Privacy first aspects certainly will. They’ll probably succumb to enshittification and become like any other corporate browser like Chrome or Edge for years to come.

There’s also the news of them forcing opt-out only on tracking today or yesterday

Then there was the news that they fired one of their open source executives because he had the audacity to get cancer

Then the news that they (Mozilla) acquired an ad company because “we’re built different and we can fix her and totally not get corrupted by ads in the process”

Also the AI shit as commented

Oh and then the news where they almost sucked Putins dick and pulled FF from being accessible in Russia for a day or 2

Ladybird! Though it’s not slated to be fully ready till 2026

Yea if nothing else hopefully it’ll at least point you in the right direction

Use Librewolf and Mull instead.

And keep an eye on the Ladybird browser, eventually FF forks will die should FF go full-tilt enshittification, but hopefully not till Ladybird is fully ready

Ladybird is a completely new open source browser with it’s own from scratch engine, so that’s one that hasn’t been forked from any other browser

Labybird is a completely new upcoming open source browser, complete with its own from scratch engine

Theres also Servo an open source engine led by the Linux Foundation
