BrikoXWoman Hailed as Hero for Smashing Man's Meta Smart Glasses on Subway
RePsyche
fossilesqueLove to see it.
Honest question,do you have a similar feeling when a person knocks the phone out of a person’s hand.I see no difference, if you are in public you should assume that you are being recorded.
Do you work for Meta PR?
Lol,fuck meta this ain’t about them, I find it bizare that people get upset that they are being recorded in public, and why being recorded with stupid fucking glasses is somehow worse, if someone wants to secretly record people there are much cheaper and more discreet options.
Why, though?
Peak New York. Love to see it.

He’s the 9th Ethernet port
Yeah I understand hating the Meta glasses, but what, are we going to destroy every camera we find in the wild? This is a small piece of a larger problem and I’m just not sure assaulting a stranger on the subway is the way to go about it.

are we going to destroy every camera we find in the wild?
Yes
When Google Glass was a thing people with assistive vision technologies were being attacked too.
Yeah my first thought was “you know what? Now that you mention it, I’d be more than happy with that. I didn’t even think of it as an option but yeah, sure, let’s give it a go”
Start with your phone then.
If I could get a phone without one I would.
I don’t recall ever having used the damn thing, all it does is stick out like a wart making the phone unsightly and unnecessarily thick.
And the other, even more useless one is just poking an extremely irritating hole on the screen.
They’re probably scratched beyond any usability anyway, since for some reason cases and screen protectors refuse to cover them.
If you want a phone without camera, wifi or audio, just install Linux on it /s
really, the pinephones seem fine…oohh you mean the ones that dont allow others to be into the proprietary systems…yeah great burn.
The /s is sarcasm.
It’s the stereotype thing of Linux desktop 10 -15 years ago. I’m a Linux user for the past 25
I didnt ask for your unverifiable nerd card, I just stated what needed to be know about the state of linux on phones. I mean android is linux but with all the blobs that those companies require you not to tamper with. You could have mentioned other linux projects that are in the space as well, or even go after windows about how every update it resets all your audio for like a decade or more (dont even talk about plugging a monitor in or the power flickers then its all a mess). But you do you man.
Sorry, next time I’ll mention other projects, go after windows, show my arch stockings and just in cases spell it out plainly in multiple languages so that there’s no way for you to miss the /s.
That above, was sarcasm
Eso de arriba es sarcasa
Being stuck inside a system does not make one a hypocrite to criticize it from within the system. Nor would one act of self immolation achieve anything but dying pointlessly in a fire. The prison guards will merely shovel your remains into a bucket. People like you will continue to goad other miserable prisoners into more pointless acts of self destruction for short term personal gratification.
We’re so deep into the technological surveillance state that people like you can’t even see that there was once a world outside these prison walls. You’ve accepted your fate. Maybe you we’re born into it. Maybe it’s been so long that you’ve forgotten it’s not normal to have all this forced upon us. In this world where surveillance state technology is required, smartphones are now integrated into critical needs of daily life. From government to financial institutions to workplace. You cannot live without it short of going inawoods Ted K style. At which point the prison guards are likely to descend upon your log cabin with the full force of the state apparatus.
Ultimately these acts of immolation achieve nothing against the system itself but demonstrate the futility that we’re all stuck inside a prison. Seems like you thought you had a really clever retort there. You don’t. It’s you who are the fool.
The second you touch someone else’s you better believe they are going for yours.
If you think that someone else’s is in the wild, but yours isn’t, yours just a useless hypocrite.
Are you explaining yourself?
I’m all for this but we should start with all of the cameras owned by businesses and the government. If anyone at all should be allowed to record in public it is we the people.
I think there’s even an achievement for doing that.
That is so Project Mayhem.
be the change you wish to see in the world
Are you for real? Or just a Meta bot? Can’t you see the difference between a camera in a phone, that is more or less obvious when pointed to film a person, and a camera mounted in glasses? For real?
Or are you suggesting that if we have let phones with cameras be, we should tolerate another escalation in the fight against privacy?
Please let me know which is it?! Im really curious.
TonyOstrichA phone in a breast pocket doesn’t look all that out of place, especially if the person has very tight jeans on, but it’s quite effective for filming.
To be clear, I’m not OP, and I’m not even necessarily saying you are wrong, but as with most things I think our energy is being pointed in the wrong direction. I care more about the governments and corporations with their ability to record and cross reference images and videos from basically everywhere much more than I care about an individuals ability to do so. Even our concerns with an individuals ability to do so are often a result of that individual’s ability to amplify the harmful aspects through the use of one of the aforementioned’s unchecked power.
If we aren’t afraid to fuck up some people wearing Meta glasses that are being dick heads, then let’s also not be afraid to fuck up the government and corpo forms of it as well.
are we going to destroy every camera we find in the wild
If it is from a mega corp that is known for spying on people: absolutely
They have no right for cameras in public.
They have no right for cameras in public.
I’m pretty sure they do. That comes along with the word “public”. This sounds like ICE telling observers to stop filming.
Collecting the footage from thousands of cameras and turning it into a giant surveillance system to track everyone is a different matter, and that’s what needs to be made illegal.
They’re the same picture
I would be perfectly fine with filming in public being illegal without concent with the expection of public officials
Is that an option? If so, yes
Every little bit helps! If we all pitch in, many hands make light work!
wheezyI’ve always wanted a pair of glasses with a cool hud, that tells me the time and weather and shows me what song im playing or a text i got. Is that so evil?
The Velour Fog Legit the only use case I’d have for glasses with a HUD is if it could give me closed captions in real time. I’d be sold.
