adhd also does this

assuming you’re not doing any sport or anything that would cause a lot of sweat, possibly diabetes or knowledge of caffeine piss

no matter where you go, the money leaves you in mysterious ways all the same

there are some tells, for example perspective lines that diverge, but i imagine eventually AI will be able to solve those too

average people know next to nothing about the memory cartel

afaik in china adblockers are illegal because of unfair competition

the more A’s the smaller the battery, so really it’s mini or micro AA.

neat

germany still to this day has cigarette vending machines. i saw one in a restaurant next to a retirement/care home a few days ago.

we need something free and open, instead of moving from being dominated by one country to being dominated by another country

afaik it was the billionaire venue owner who prevented the tour, not ed sheeran himself

But can she count how many E’s are in seventeen?

I’ve noticed that with my partner with ADHD, and also my sister with ADHD. Neither can easily deal with multiple topics in one message. Curious.

if this is apartment management they need to be given out individually

i personally enjoy my privacy rights. it’s not like police here don’t use for example dashcam footage. they do. so our privacy rights are already sometimes being ignored in favor of practicality. but glassholes go a step too far. i do not want to be surveilled by a private company 24/7. i do not want male-to-male transgender (a looksmaxxer) chad broski to record women without their consent and then post the video online as power signaling, and to goon over it. make it a free and democratic association using open source hardware and code, and open weights models hosted in the respective country with strong privacy guarantees, and I’m maybe on board again. roll it out very slowly, address issues as they come up and don’t make the product even worse for privacy before regulations can step in, only to call it inevitable and the future and thus regulation-proof when the law has time to catch up. legal repercussions should be severe, as you are violating a fundamental human right.

if violating privacy rights was so important then it should still not be done by facebook

smart glasses are not hammers. aside from the disability aid angle, they are primarily used by perverts for perverted use cases, and facebook wants to double down on that angle with face recognition, so they know their audience.

if these were prescribed by a doctor I would react very differently

I’m staunchly against normalizing being recorded all the time in public

it’s much more innocuous, to the point that many people can’t even tell you’re recording or wearing anything special that’s sending your image directly to facebook, especially if you drill out the notification light (which many perverts do do)

generally here in germany there’s a right to privacy if a person is your primary subject, even in public. you need their consent. there’s a difference between people being in the background and only incidentally and going up to people and “appreciating” them with a recording that facebook sees and also the whole world sees because you post it online as a way to signify your power over innocent women

blind people are actually decently assisted by smart glasses. it’s just a shame they’re mostly used by perverts. there should be a state-sanctioned version only for blind people, with limited features, and an open weights AI model hosted somewhere in the same country with data not used for training and such.

about the private security cameras, somehow amazon smart doorbells are still a thing though, and fairly common
