    Kathryn Bigelow’s most under-rated film is almost upon us…just 30 years later than we thought.

    Also…if you haven’t seen that movie…go watch it. It’s low-key one of her best.

      I know this is off-topic, but Kathryn Bigelow is just an under-rated director in general I think. So many bangers. Also from a quick search I just found out she had a new movie out last year that stars Idris Elba, Rebecca Ferguson and Jared Harris? Somehow I missed that entirely.

    Frankly humanity does not need this invention one bit.

    It may have legitmately sounded interesting and futuristic to some people a decade ago, but with the way tech companies are trending this type of tech will become an absolute surveillance and privacy nightmare. I mean it aleady is really, but it will get so so much worse.

    Regulate and legislate these into oblivion. At the very least tech companies need to be punished financially for trying to speed run dystopia but I fear we’re already sliding down that slope and it’s too late

      Yah. Unfortunately, we’ve got it though. :( :( :(

      People I know, some friends, they are completely oblivious to how much it will surveillance them. Or how much Meta already does, in other ways. “I don’t care, I’m not doing anything wrong”.

      Constant surveillance erodes a society. It erodes democracy.

        Half Life 2:

        C1: This is how it always starts. First a building, then the whole block.

        C2: They have no reason to come to our place.

        C1: Don’t worry, they’ll find one.

        Get a webcam and place it prominently in their house, when askes tell them they have nothing to hide so youd like to watch. Bonus points for putting in the bedroom or bathroom.

    I don’t know what’s worse. Meta admitting to spy and nothing happens or the dumb people still buying their crap and using their services.

    Definitely not a Sony Walkman, which was cool and the foam headphones were comfortable to wear. I miss the simple analog days.

    Orwell got it wrong with the wall mounted screens - ‘they’ want us to wear the screens. What was that album title? 'If you accept this,your kids are next., ’ Can’t remember which band
