Worried about lusers wearing #RayBan #Meta #smartglasses to covertly record you?

Try the Nearby Glasses app from Yves Jeanrenaud @yjeanrenaud for Apple and Android phones:

https://apps.apple.com/de/app/nearby-glasses-original/id6761056896
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.pocketpc.nearbyglasses

Nearby Glasses warns you when smart glasses are nearby. It runs only when open, not in the background, so YOU are NOT suddenly the one creating #privacy concerns.

It's a FREE, simple, open source app:

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, you could start here:

It's not meant to do it all. But it's a good first step for some people, it's available now, and it's free.

I'm amazed at the inventiveness and skill required to create tools like this.

But I lament the corrosion of our society to the point where ordinary citizens have to take up the yoke of technical counter surveillance measures that until recently would've been arcane skills reserved for professional spies and spy hunters just to get by in life with the smallest shreds of dignity.

@DaveMWilburn @dougcuff that's so true. it's sad this app is even needed so much. I initially thought it's be just a niche thing, but many people are glad this tools is here now. btw, @dougcuff the link to github is truncated. it's https://github.com/yjeanrenaud/yj_nearbyglasses actually
