The Metaverse HAS to be some sort of money funneling scheme for Zuck, it HAS to be. Didn’t they do a marketing campaign recently because they added legs to their Second Life avatars?

Come now, I think that comparison to Second Life is really unfair. In particular, not only does it seem to be that Zuckerberg specifically wants to create Second Life, they already did it over a decade before him and theirs actually worked pretty much out the gate, particularly in terms of legs and other appendages, and has had way more actual users than Zuck's Metaverse. Also I'm going to assume Second Life didn't cost billions of dollars.

I don't think that's what that means. Is that what that means? My understanding was always that it means you shouldn't sell dog food that you wouldn't eat yourself.

the term "dogfooding" basically means companies should use the products they sell, in order to get a first hand user experience and find issues that need improvements. so like microsoft tries to use the latest version of the office suite, visual studio and whatnot

edit: the actual expression seems to be a reference to eating literal dog food tho:

"In 2006, the editor of IEEE Software recounted that in the 1970s television advertisements for Alpo dog food, Lorne Greene pointed out that he fed Alpo to his own dogs. Another possible origin he remembers is from the president of Kal Kan Pet Food, who was said to eat a can of his dog food at shareholders' meetings."

ripped from google:

quote:

Dogfooding is a practice especially popular in the software development industry. It means that a company fully tests its products first on itself, using them as end users would. Effectively, the company “eats its own dog food”.

So basically it's tested on those who make it so that they themselves know if it's good or not.

As far as VR goes I can understand Zuck's vision for it. If you can keep a large number of people interacting with your virtual world for 2, 5, 10 hours a day you can advertise to them with truly undivided attention. You can also sell/rent all the best 'real estate' to those who want the most engagement. Problem is that there isn't much application for VR at the moment so the crew is just throwing poo poo at the wall and hoping that Zuck likes it even when they themselves don't.

VR is cool and good but no one is going to use it for business until it's like putting on a normal pair or glasses and doesn't require controllers.

Even then, the potential applications are small. I'm not gonna write up staff meeting notes or review contracts in THE CYBER ZONE.

I could see collaborating with artists on a sculpture or painting together. Hell, MAYBE it would be cool to use for an office meeting if the company lets you use your own avatar. I don't want to show up as myself, I want to be a little demon with HUGE knockers.

That's literally Meta's business case. Managers get to see you "in-person" and keep you on-task, if not have an intrusive means to watch your screens, so you can't mute or skive off in another tab during a remote meeting like with a Zoom call. They get to have their underlings as visible and constantly "managed" as they would be in a physical office.

I remember that thread and how, even in '15 SA (2014? Oh, who really cares), he was laughed off the site.

Whenever I think I might have failed to grow as a person, I remember that there are still people out there who to this day are still murderously mad about women in video games, and are literally 18 months away from being mad about it for an entire decade.

Holy gently caress Gamergate is going to be 10 years old next August and people are still mad about it.

Thanks to that user details hack a while back, I now get spam emails telling me that I need to protect my verified status by clicking a link and updating some stuff. Looks fairly legit at first glance, until you check the random bunchanumbers email address it came from. They must have done a cross reference between email addresses and verification status, and this is a hell of a time to be removing an option for 2FA. I was sleepy one day and almost (almost) clicked on the drat thing before I caught myself and checked it.

Can tell some have fallen for it, one of the 47 Hong Kong politicians who is currently on trial for the crime of being in opposition to the govt. got hacked a few days back and their account is now a stream of crypto spam and there's no-one left at Twitter to fix this quickly (or possibly at all). Good loving job, earlobe.
