    Clickbait warning. This has nothing to do with the Meta smart glasses. They’re just a means of taking pictures of people without them noticing. But you could do the same with any internet connected camera / phone etc.

    porn has driven every digital invention from vhs to web. metas stupid glasses will be sold out when you get a realtime nude-filter. coz then everyone would also accept ads in the fiel of view.

    I have semi face-blindness, it takes several meetings before I can start recognising a person’s face. Something like this would actually be a lifesaver for me, just so I can know who I’m talking to and whether I’ve met them before.

    Meta could build a set of glasses that lets me view Pluto, washes the dishes, and gives me a loving blowjob, and I wouldn’t let them get within 10m of me.

      It isn’t as obvious as shoving phone infront to take photos, whereas glasses are more incognito

    The company behind Threads, which we’ve allowed to now infest the fediverse with little evident opposition. Cheers y’all.

    First of all bullshit. Try me. A modicum of effort towards privacy would protect you from this. Seems like a healthy way to bring attention to the bigger issue at play here.

    Also - awesome. I have terrible propsagnosia. It’s crippling socially and especially for me in the workplace and and my scientific career (there’s a decent amount of networking and ass kissing in science, and if you can’t keep track of people at all it’s tough to play along). I’d love something like this - congrats to the devs.

      Unfortunately this does not count.

      It does not matter if they have 99% or 99.99% of the sheepfolk in their pocket. It would not even matter if it were only 90%. It is still everybody. They got everybody. They won.

        Who even cares anymore. The sheepfolk don’t. They cheered on the death of our free and open internet. It’s everyone for themselves now.

      You can have tools for recognition and not identification. Identification likely includes information that someone did not intend to share with you.

    This is not a technology issue. Never reveal you real name, address and phone number on the internet.

      Never post your resume or sign up for LinkedIn in the course of a job search? Never use a dating site? Never buy a domain? Never pay property taxes? Never go to court? I see your point, but never revealing your info online isn’t realistic or ever a choice for most people.

        I don’t know about buying domains, court or taxes. Those should be private and they probably are in my country.

        But LinkedIn and dating sites are definitely a scam.

        I am a huge privacy fanatic, so it is my goal that no one should ever be required to upload pictures of themselves on the internet or reveal their addresses or phone numbers. People have gotten way too complacent in handing over their private information, and that needs to change.

        The fact that having privacy is unrealistic is truly bothersome.
