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

[-] pcouy@lemmy.pierre-couy.fr 38 points 2 months ago

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.

Enshitification of shit. They truly are meta.

[-] FriendOfDeSoto@startrek.website 32 points 2 months ago

Nothing fills my heart with such joy as negative Meta headlines.

I was always a fan of Ray Ban and got their glasses/sunglasses. Guess I need to look elsewhere since this god awful partnership.

[-] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 29 points 2 months ago

Personally i avoid visible branding, and at that point you can just go with whatever frame you like. Investing in high quality lenses is much better spent money in my experience, lightweight+deglared+extra thin lenses make a world of difference for comfortable wearing over longer time for me.

[-] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 months ago

Apparently when you get Ray Ban frames for prescription glasses, you can pay extra to have the Ray Ban logo engraved on them. So if you see someone with prescription glasses with the Ray Ban logo, you can lose a little more respect for them.

I used to like Ray Bans, too. Then Luxotica bought them and they've never got any on my money since. I buy exclusively from Costco because they only sell non-Luxotica brand glasses for significantly cheaper.

Prescription sunglasses look identical to aviators, at a fraction of the price.

[-] eighty@aussie.zone 3 points 2 months ago

did not know Costco sold exclusively non-luxo glasses - interest piqued

[-] 13igTyme@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Sam's does the same and you don't need a membership to use the eye center for either.

[-] mmmac@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

Would be great of Costco had their own brand of smart glasses

[-] 13igTyme@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago

Why? Smart glasses are stupid and no one should be buying them. They are a scam and another form of constant surveillance and recording. Only now with more accurate face recognition. All hail the future police state.

[-] stoy@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

Might I suggest Persol?

Sadly, they are expensive, but they look good and have great quallity in my experience.

As for glasses, five years ago, I got my first Lindberg glasses, and I am never going back to other brands.

I am currently on my third pair of black Lindberg Aaron and my current sunnies are a pair of gunmetal Persol PO1027S with custom brown lenses.

I have all of my pervious Lindberg frames and will start reusing them next time, as for the Persol, I lost my earlier pair of an earlier model of Persol sunglasses, but I plan on getting new models or a new pair of the same model to have some spares or variation.

Cheers for the comprehensive recommendations, I’ll check them out!

[-] benjirenji@slrpnk.net 20 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Good headline. Didn't call them "owners". Because this doesn't happen to something you own.

Article's first sentence already fails though.

[-] Trebuchet@europe.pub 15 points 2 months ago

Good. Perverts.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

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.

These mofos watched the failure that was google glass and went for it anyway lol

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] trackball_fetish@lemmy.wtf 3 points 2 months ago

The google glass design was pretty cool, sans camera. Iirc people were modifying them I think? Wonder how hard it would be to remove the camera. Probably soldered directly to the board. You could always try to make your own with some form of transparent screen

[-] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 6 points 2 months ago

Sucked in, dickheads!

[-] Etterra@discuss.online 5 points 2 months ago

Oh you thought we'd only demand hundreds of bucks for this trash? naw, now you need to pay a subscription fee. Now pay up loser.

[-] aesthelete@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Nobody deserves it more

[-] Zen_Shinobi@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Well that was fast

[-] MrKoyun@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

GOOD!!!! FUCK THESE GLASSES

These should literally exclusively be an aid device for the visually impaired and nothing more.

[-] Darkard@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago
[-] oopsgodisdeadmybad@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago

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

[-] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

Like, basic vision? That would be funny
