Meta Wants to Scan Every Face You Walk Past 👓🔴
Meta plans to add facial recognition to Ray-Ban smart glasses. An internal document says they timed launch during political crisis so civil society wouldn't notice.

That last thing is in progress now, and will hopefully be done enough to be useful this weekend.
So!
It would be nice to have a few people who could help to do some interoperability testing, and generally shake things out. Possibly as soon as next week. Preferably, you would be comfortable running a server and a database, and doing testing, troubleshooting, and things like that.
If that sounds like you, and you want to help out with a new fedi backend, hmu
And if this is the first you're hearing about any of this, then you may be interested in https://letterbook.com
If you're interested in doing some (very) early testing with #Letterbook, let me know so I can invite you to our contributor chat!
And, I wouldn't recommend running it on the internet just yet. Especially not on a (sub)domain that you intend to use for real life. I'll be testing in sandcastles for the foreseeable future
I can be angry about rising fascism and also angry about facial recognition built into surveillance glasses at the same time, not only because these things are directly related, but because I contain fucking multitudes and all them are mad all the goddamn time.
87% of video games released in the U.S. before 2010 are technically unavailable for legal purchase.
As of 2026, libraries and archives can digitally preserve, but not digitally *share* games, and can provide on-premises access only. Libraries *are* allowed to share books, films, and music both onsite and remotely.
This is all very messed up.

"A group of Buddhist monks completed their 2,300-mile, 110-day Walk for Peace [Feb. 10] as they journeyed from Fort Worth, Texas, to the DC-area.
They were led by Venerable Bhikkhu Paññākāra, who walked part of the trip barefoot. They stopped in ten states—through snow and rain, often sleeping outside. They inspired millions with the message that peace is possible."

Meta thinks now is a great time to launch facial recognition surveillance tech in their creepy glasses because EFF will be too distracted by fascism to notice.

I wrote some words for ~ this week in security ~ about how social media giants (aka: ad tech companies!) track you around the web, even if you don't have an account or use their apps. Follows from a brilliant column in the BBC about TikTok's use of website "pixels" to track people's browsing activity.
Sign up (or RSS) for the weekly newsletter, out Sundays. No email open or link click tracking! https://this.weekinsecurity.com
The good news is that hidden web tracking "pixels" are relatively easy to defeat. It's also why using an ad-blocker is one of my top pieces of security advice for anyone, as ad-blockers help to reduce surveillance and online tracking, while helping to keep you safer from malware.
Here's why: https://this.weekinsecurity.com/why-ad-blockers-are-a-top-security-and-privacy-defense-for-everyone/

Feel free to tell realpython whether you want to see them create content on using AI to code.
I told them no:
(i) unethical training process
(ii) less maintainable code
(iii) deskilling of developers
An obsequious “always yes” machine…well, your head might say it’s far-fetched, but the instinct for psychological self-defense won’t let your brain let go of it.
You might say “Don’t they understand [fact about LLMs]???” but often the appeal isn’t factual; it’s emotional.
Ignore that at your peril.
8/
All these breathless articles about people forming weird relationships with LLMs, ruining marriages or going down psychological rabbit holes because of the emotionally compulsion-forming quality of having something that always says yes to you?
I think that’s happening to people in management, too, in their professional lives — and they’re making purchase decisions around it.

Is there any way linter/type checker for #Python that can find expressions that never will evaluate to anything other than False based on the type information? E.g. checking if a variable of the type `int` exists within a list of the type `list[str]`? I do use #mypy but it doesn't seem to catch this.
