Rules:

  1. The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
  5. For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
  6. Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
  7. This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
  8. All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

"I never thought the intrusive surveillance tools I was building would be used on me!"

Also: I heard they couldn't get legs working in the metaverse so they had two choices: Shut down the metaverse or break everyone's legs. They went with the former, but only because it was the cheaper option.

Meta tried to recruit me several times, even after I told them that I'd never work for them. They offer decent salaries, but it's not enough for me to forget morality. I don't understand why people work there.

[–] dreamkeeper@literature.cafe 3 points 1 week ago

They work there because they're greedy shills. A lot of these people obsess over the "prestige" of working for faang. They're pathetically shallow people.

Do Meta employees lie about where they work? I suppose how much they make is a factor. If they're making millions then who cares where they work, but if they're just making an average salary, maybe they obfuscate. I know I would.

It's not location tracking, but screen, mouse, and keyboard recording, mainly to train AI agents for the "computer use" capacity.

I think they are suggesting lying to other people (out of shame/embarrassment) not lying to meta. If they are out on a date for example, would they worry that this potential partner would judge them for working at meta and not want to continue with the relationship?

They will accidentally train it to defeat captchas.

I have a suspicion, a hunch, that this is related to their want to make dead people Facebook accounts posting again.

Really like how 'remaining staff' at the end is a link to Facebook's recent job cuts.

Wait, come back! We want to mine your humanity to make Mark into a real boy!

Mark is like the original, uber-incel.

Ahahah, they literally signed up for this.

I've said this before and I'll say it again:

If you know or encounter anyone who works for Facebook, spit at their feet, honk your imaginary clown nose at them.

That's all they deserve in terms of social interaction.

If they make mouth noises at you, just apologize for not speaking idiot clown.

Yeah, well, if you're "just" an Engineer at the Death Star you're still a willing part of the baddies and complicit in their actions.

Or a plumber.
