I thought smart glasses could be kind of neat, but no way in hell would I get a pair from Meta.

A set of FOSS smart glasses powered entirely by local hardware and software that you own and control? That would be kind of neat.

Anything connected to and under the control of a big corporation, though … miss me with that shit.

Call me conservative but I think that would still suck. A society where everyone has a camera on their nose pointing at you sounds absolutely dreadful.

Eh, you’re already on a dozen cameras every time you go outside. Security cameras, state surveillance cameras, doorbell cameras, cameras all over every modern car… What’s a few more?

Ah yes. The fallacy of you’re already being exploited so what’s one more time?

Really, though – is that not true?

There is already no expectation of privacy and anonymity anymore. Cameras are already everywhere, more and more of them interconnected and tracking your every step. If you want privacy and anonymity outside of your own home, you need to be wearing a mask, and maybe taking measures to disguise your gait and physical proportions as well. Having slightly more or slightly fewer cameras out there isn’t going to change that whatsoever.
