Why would anyone want to be associated with Meta and Facebook is beyond me.

Trying to lower your brand rating?

I get that Meta is a bit of a mess. I deleted FB in 2015 and never looked back. But... it's starting to seem like some type of bandwagon Meta hate at the moment. Which is almost making me think it's a decent buy.

Translated into English:

Meta says, “We weren’t able to get anyone interested in using our robotic overlord’s pet product on their own time, so we are now counting on managers forcing their white collar office drones to use it.”

Microsoft says: “It can’t make the steaming pile of dogshit that is Teams any worse, so what the hell.”

If...I dunno if you made an "awesome VR world" and your own people are like "nnnnaaaaw, we'll pass, but thanks for the thought."...I mean, that speaks tomes of volumes of how awful Meta must be.

I mean even the folks that worked on Second Life were geeked to be a part of the world when it first launched...

Do you understand that in 2015 the company was called Facebook, and that the social media site they ran (that i used) was referred to as Facebook?

Now that company is referred to as meta, and there are numerous programs within the company (such as Instagram).

The sentence "I deleted meta in 2015" would not make sense. I deleted Facebook.

Getting Microsoft involved in something is a sure fire way to make sure it dies an early death or sticks around way way way past its expiration date. There is no in between.

This idea that this will see widespread adoption is absolutely hysterical. Im really looking forward to watching the company formerly known as Facebook lose more and more money on this.

I will quit any company that tries to get me to work via Meta anything.

Pirating all future MS products until this partnership is dissolved.

Been thinking for a long time that Microsoft would get a stronghold in VR/AR in the long term. Microsoft does own XBox and does know gaming, they also know the workplace.

The question I have is why does Meta have that Microsoft needs?

Oh Yes, people are going to love wearing goggles from the moment they get up to the moment they go to bed. And why complete spreadsheets quickly when you can fuck around endlessly getting no where.

I’m curious about this well. My best guess is that Microsoft needs Meta’s tech, and Meta needs Microsoft for anyone to take them seriously.

Yeah but you still havnt escaped from the evil of the company yet and fail to understand how a name change doesnt change any of the evil they will continue to do. Whatever man, good luck out there, my advice, save yourself, everything else get a thumb drive.

There are so many cool uses for AR and VR. Why do they keep pushing this dystopian virtual office meeting shit that no one wants?

Heck, most people turn off their webcams in meetings.

Forcing people to use a technology that causes motion sickness with a pretty large chunk of the population seems problematic, from an accessibility standing. Around 25% get sick using VR, or so I’ve read.
