If you buy a house, it's called real-estate.
If you buy a house in the metaverse - is it call false-estate?
- even if real as in realty didn't mean it's immovable (not real as in existing/ reality) fake-estate would be funnierkingsteven

LOL at 5:35, Lex asking Mark to do 'Circles all the traffic lights' on to make sure he's not a bot... Funniest thing I've seen all year.

My crush on Spiekermann is so big, I don’t think I’m ever going to make it though this <em>new</em> Meta.

It blows my mind that we’ve put these tech billionaires on such a high pedestal, so when the Metaverse concept is announced we actually collectively doubt ourselves and give Zuckerburg the benefit of the doubt.
Like how is it that we don’t all immediately see that the Metaverse is nothing more than the result of a big, bloated company that has run out of ideas?
- @nb But we do see it for the bullshit it is, haven't met a smart person believing this vaporware yetgrafician

Facebook founder and suspected alien Mark Zuckerberg held a virtual all hands meeting for his employees yesterday to explain the company-formerly-known-as-Facebo... updated values.
Most of the values seemed like your typical vacuous, corpo nonsense. However, he did end on a decree that raised a few eyebrows: Meta employees are no longer coworkers — they’re now “metamates.”

She said: ‘I entered the Horizon Venues metaverse as an avatar who looked just like me – middle-aged, blonde and dressed in jeans and a long-sleeved top.
‘The space you enter is a lobby, like a theatre foyer. Within 60 seconds, three male avatars – who all had male voices – came towards me and touched me inappropriately.

Meta adds ‘Personal Boundary’ to metaverse after ‘virtual gang rape’
Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta is adding a feature to combat virtual-reality harassment days after a woman said she was “virtually gang raped” in the company’s metaverse.
“If someone tries to enter your Personal Boundary, the system will halt their forward movement as they reach the boundary,” Meta said. “We believe Personal Boundary is a powerful example of how VR has the potential to help people interact comfortably.”

The metaverse has a groping problem already
A woman was sexually harassed on Meta’s VR social media platform. She’s not the first—and won’t be the last.- I don’t understand how they’ve managed to forget everything we learned from second life. This is like a headline from 20 years agoscarabin

Her Instagram Handle Was ‘Metaverse.’ Last Month, It Vanished.
Five days after Facebook changed its name to Meta, an Australian artist found herself blocked, with seemingly no recourse, from an account documenting nearly a decade of her life and work.
