I hope the glasses break on their face. But:
The two customers were, in fact, recording Hinkle, and the entire exchange was turned into content for social media.
…Can people not see this is the root problem?
These asswipes make a living being asswipes because Google, Meta, or Tiktok pay them to. Thats the root incentive. Most wouldnt risk all that trouble unless it was their living.
In other words, I dont want the moral of the story to be “this wouldnt happen without Meta glasses.” The platform subsidizing those glasses is the ultimate problem.
I’ll never understand why Google Glass were so offensive but these are just fine
There is only ONE good thing the meta glasses are for and it’s blind people. They are immensely useful to help the blind and low vision users to navigate the world. Other than that, they should not able to exist.
As usual the disabled are the first to get hurt by all the bullshit people do. Guarantee one of these lemmy badasses who wants to run around hitting people is going to hit a blind person for just trying to get around.
What if we punished crimes instead of monetizing them? We’ve had a multimedia Internet for a generation now, we could do this.
My new go to is to stop the conversation, tell them to tell their glasses, out loud, to stop recording. If they dont then that conversation is over.
Period.Pervert glasses are also great for corporate espionage
I was chatting with it CEO the other day and the your of recording glasses came up. He said they are band in the company, and they’ve had conversations with their lawyers, that also say not to allow them. I was happy to hear that.

banned
This was a very good, detailed read, including interviews with real affected people. I recommend anyone skimming the headline to read the full article.
Thanks, it was. And sad that in instances where the wearer could have been help accountable: Sprouts manager and comedy viewer, nothing was done.
In my line of work you would be terminated on the spot if you wore these to work. I have sections of the facility that a fit bit would get you escorted off site and likely loose your job.
Lucky you. I literally get a camera pointed at my face for every hour I work, and it screams if it thinks I’ve lost focus. Hopefully our bosses would tell these cameras to get bent, but based on their little rich people concerns over how to pacify the ‘lessers,’ I’m not hopeful.

There are legitimate uses for head mounted cameras that track your focus.
There are none for these devices that try to obfuscate their presence.
Meta is a menace.
Period.
Full stop.
all places
If someone is wearing them, the glasses should be smashed while the user is still wearing them
Businesses need to start banning smart glasses with cameras or at least require the cameras to be covered with tape.
Many places already do this with cellphones. It shouldn’t be different for such glasses. Using recording equipment is rarely appropriate in a workplace.
People need to start being more violent to gargoyles. You wear rayban, you risk getting popped without warning.
Love the Snow Crash reference. I use it a lot.
I remember when you couldn’t have camera phones a lot of business. Seems like these would be prohibited simply from a security standpoint. Harassment would just be another reason on top of that.
