I guess the way to get this regulated is to use the glasses to record cops breaking the law.
Sure, but they’d only regulate the recording of cops
The Cybertruck of face accessories.
Smart glasses are a real threat to women, unlike trans people.
But have you considered a trans person with smart glasses?
I’m a trans person but, frankly, smart glasses are for cowards. I just carry a giant DSLR. Makes a meaty click when I take photos. Kinda hard to disguise. Really signals other people “if you don’t want to be photographed on the public, you can, you know, dodge this, because you can see this from a kilometer away”.
Thats why I use a electronic-telescope from my balcony and zoom into the space of other peoples houses. If they didn’t want me looking inside, they should’ve considered me a pervert.
If they didn’t want a pervert looking into their home, they shouldn’t have build walls that are penetrable by millimetre wave radar! It’s not my fault!

i don’t know if you know this, but woman face a lot more regular violence in public than men.
so i guess it’s just best practice to focus on the group in a worse situation.
And with luck it can solve both.

yes, and there is an overwhelming amount of statistical evidence that feminine people are harnessed at a higher rate

It’s just techbros got onto the transphobia bandwagon to please the christofascists.
That looks exactly like the kind of person I thought would wear these.
It’s the CEO, so that doesn’t really surprise
Why do so many of the tech bros look like drowned rats
Look at his ear. A person could wear this maybe 10 min before his ear hurts so bad he can’t any more.
What are these monstrosities
Edit: They are Snap Specs. The exec that greenlit these things should be publicly humiliated.
That is the ceo in the picture. I’d say it’s pretty humiliating!
Dammit Genie it doesn’t work without shame Dx
Perv glasses
Can’t tell, so i assume you are.
Heck, people create their own problems by allowing corporations to build and deploy these technologies, and then complain. lol.
Oftentimes those who complain have no control over the the allowed technologies. I still don’t understand how meta glasses that are seemingly secretly filming people against their consent first are allowed in the first place
What are we supposed to do to stop them?
What big EYES you have
when the tech gets better. The answer is going to be yes, and you will have no idea.
“I just fucking LOVE paying luxury prices to help corporations data mine the universe”
God, I look so fucking cool right now.
I have rayban sunglasses from before the meta glasses trend, and some people think I’m recording them when I’m just wearing prescription glasses 😎😭
My prescription glasses are also Rayban. I haven’t had anyone try to say anything tho.
The shitty thing is it’s hard not to give the fuckers money.
Luxoticca owns most eyewear brands, optometrist offices, eyewear retailers, and even a ton of optical insurance providers. They control the frames, lenses, and more.
Oakley used to be independent, but they actually stopped lenscrafters from providing lenses for them and bullied their suppliers until Oakley’s stock dropped enough to buy them out. They’re the reason frames that should cost $15 cost $900.
They’re one of the clearest examples of a monopoly in the world, but we just fucking let it continue.
I mean i don’t like the chinese dictatorship but I get my glasses on AliExpress.
Buy Chinese knock offs.
Yes, the reason for $900 frames exist is people who buy them
Nearly 1k for frames? Fuck that. XD Mine were on sale.
Of course - the $900 was in the original comment, I was answering to a child comment. $900 sounds more like a cost of contacting a Chinese factory and producing a small batch of your unique sunglasses based on 3d model you’ve sent to them:)
Yeah, but they also own the $50 frames.
ok, so you buy those $50, $10, $5 ones, and the market will have to follow if there are no isiots paying more. It’s not electronics or machinery, it’s a piece of forged or extruded materials, and a couple of pieces of plastic or glass, the cost is not high (in case of prescription glasses and special coatings the price will raise, but it will mostly be labour price, it’s not something the manufacturer does
It’s harder for people who go to the optometrist and get their glasses.
The Luxoticca-owned insurance company makes them use the Luxoticca-owned optometrist that sells Luxoticca-owned frames with Luxoticca-owned lenses.
Moat people don’t even know you can ask the optometrist for your prescription so you can go buy frames and lenses from Zenni or Coastal.
Not sure where you’re located but I’m pretty sure providing the prescription automatically is standard almost everywhere after an eye exam.
I’ve worn glasses for decades and have gotten annual exams in all parts of the world. Always got a printout of my prescription and never had to ask.
I’m US American, and everyone I know including me has had to specifically ask for a copy of the prescription, and they usually try to leave information like the PD off. It’s scummy as fuck.
You have to specifically asknfor it in the US, and they act like it’s a crazy request. And they usually won’t give you your PD.
Still better than this fucking turbodork.
I’m in the same boat my friend (ray-ban eye glasses), its a bummer as I prefer thick framed glasses. Mostly because I’m rather rough on them. Wire glasses won’t cut it for me…
