@Em0nM4stodonEm 
Meta, the owner is Facebook and Instagram and maker of the smart glasses, notes that the glasses are supposed to display a light when recording and are tamper resistant, and that you shouldn't use then for harassment. Also, from the article:
We put our findings to Meta. It says it will "continually review opportunities to enhance our AI glasses, informed by customer feedback and ongoing research".
So basically they are treating this article as free advertising. "We do kinda the bare minimum, and the product is always improving!" Assholes.
@sillyCoelophysisEm Dash (I'm a punctuation) @Em0nM4stodonEm
I think 
@404mediaco404 Media covered this & there's some guy you can order the glasses from who will not only disable the LED but also bypass whatever tamper mechanism they have for detecting that you've disabled the LED...
So totally surreptitious recording...
Zaïd, Malya, Naila : en France, la haine raciste vise aussi les bébés
Des torrents de commentaires racistes se sont déversés en ligne à la découverte du prénom du premier bébé de 2026 né à Avignon. Comme lui, d’autres voient leur existence instrumentalisée dès la naissance, au profit de la théorie complotiste d’extrême droite du « grand remplacement ».

"The power of the Gestapo was used to focus upon political opponents, ideological dissenters, career criminals, the Sinti and Roma population, handicapped persons, homosexuals, and, above all, the Jews.
Those arrested by the Gestapo were often held without judicial process, and political prisoners throughout Germany—and from 1941, throughout the occupied territories under the Night and Fog Decree—simply disappeared while in Gestapo custody.
Contrary to popular perception, the Gestapo was actually a relatively small organization with limited surveillance capability; still it proved extremely effective due to the willingness of ordinary Germans to report on fellow citizens."

I'm old enough to remember that the US and UK supported a coup against Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister Mossadegh, after he nationalised the country's oil industry. And replaced him with the authoritarian Shah Reza Pahlavi.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.
They’ve had their necks kneeled on.
They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.
At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

ICE just launched a “wartime recruitment” campaign and seeks agents who want to “defend” their “culture.” There will be more Renee Goods.

This is just nightmare fuel to me.
🤖 AI Disclosure: This project is 100% AI-generated code. All Rust code, documentation, and configuration was written by Claude (Anthropic) via Cursor with MCP tools. My role is product direction, testing, and learning to orchestrate AI-assisted development effectively. The code is reviewed and tested, not blindly accepted — but I want to be transparent about the development process. This project is partly a learning exercise in exploring how far AI-assisted development can go.
Every single response to Issues and PRs appears to also be generative. I see no oversight, no real safety nets whatsoever. And this is the future they want.

My USian friends, how are y'all dealing with all of this and still working. I feel like we're all pretending everything is OK during work hours. Had a panic attack last night ruminating about it. The cognitive dissonance is hitting a breaking point with me.

When it became obvious that the primary consumer of bandwidth was corporate web scrapers powering generative models, I started being more selective about what personal projects (/+updates) I made public.
Ultimately I have no interest in doing subsidized work in the service of for-profit enterprises; and while there was always an undercurrent, lately the dynamics of the foss ecosystem have radically shifted towards that end.
Thinking back to the days when IRC was the main way I shared code.
