I wonder if that QR code thing would work for the TSA/police cameras that are everywhere now?
I can work on this… give me a few days. Someone come back and check in tho - I’ve got a huge demo meeting Friday.
As an aside - if you come back I’ve got a new firewall we’re releasing open source on codeberg. Linux only because some functions won’t work on windows. Working on OS Agnostic version.
dude secretly recording

Obvious problems with surreptitious filming aside, these camera-infused glasses have been great for people filming themselves doing things. If only the whole thing wasnt so damn creepy and gross.
Ray Ban is owned by Luxoticca Group and they have plenty of money to throw around too.
Not a brick. Infect it so that it seems to work but continually screws up or corrupts data in weird ways. The user will eventually assume the product is a PoS and shelve it, probably without buying another
If you can’t find malcode, goatse is also a good QR code option.
On a similar note, Flock is known to do OCR on bumper stickers. I’ve recently found myself wondering if there’s any sanitization being done to the OCR output before it gets stored in whatever database they’re using.
Because Bobby Tables.

Let’s assume they don’t, who can design my new bumper stickers?
What are the requirements?
I saw these on the Canadian version of The Price is Right
So is there a link that exists already? I’m interested in tattooing this to my jackets.
Fuck meta but that’s not how any of this works
I have no problem with people recording me. Frankly, we should be doing more Sousveillance, as governments and corporate footage has a terrible track record of mysteriously disappearing whenever it’s convenient to them. But that’s not it. This is yet another corporation using peoples faces as camera mounting points. Fuck them. If you need a spycam for some reason, be a normal
creephuman being, and buy them off aliexpress or somethingSousveillance is such a good word. I learned it through an SCP story
What kind of sick fuck thinks that’s a selling point?
Mark Zuckerberg.


Never noticed how much he resembles Data, actually.

He’s not Data. He’s Lore.
Also that cream pie surf pic was so that would be what everyone saw when they googled “zuckerberhg hawaii” and not the fact his megacompound was fucking hawaiian residents
You’re right, he is the evil version!
I didn’t fully understand your second part though
The dude is building a fuckin’ fortress in hawaii and there’s a lot of extremely dodgy shit about it. There was actually a huge legal thing going on at the time about his abuse of quiet titles and a signature campaign - but when you googled “zuckerberg hawaii” all you saw was viral pics of him looking like he’d just been creampied. He poisoned the well.

Touche’ lol
They “trust me”
Dumb fucksI mean the marketing guys are doing their job which is to convince you that you are getting a video feed for your to do cool things with. The actual reason is free camera wearing automatons are cheaper than ones you have to pay for.
Basically poisoning the well for augmented reality glasses.
Welp.
Orwell warned us.
It’s kind of crazy that we’re already kind of there. I find myself constantly thinking about how I’m most likely being recorded at any given time I’m not at home. Even at home until I put my foot down and told my girlfriend her Ring cameras inside the house were to be put away unless we were on vacation.
And I’m old enough to remember when this feeling of being watched all the time was not a thing. I know it helps solve a lot of crimes, but honestly, I don’t care. I don’t think it’s worth it to live in a surveillance state.
Also, I’m a nudist. I go to nude resorts/beaches. People are going to be wearing these fucking things now and then uploading the video to the internet. NOT OK. Like, there’s an unspoken rule among nudists not to have phones out, and if someone does, people will confront them about it. But you can’t really protect against hidden fucking cameras in sunglasses.
I’m so tired of all this.
Or at least go full fucking Orwell with it and let me see the benefits.
Every fucking night someones shithead kids are out breaking into and stealing cars in my neighbourhood and every fucking day I have to dodge unregistered dirt bikes and unrestricted E-bikes on the roads just trying to go to work and do groceries like a regular boring asshole who has to obey all the fucking rules because if I beat the fuck out of the cunt in my driveway trying to get into my car and possibly steal it I’ll catch charges and if I dont pay all the registration costs, insurances and drive exactly as I’m told the government will destroy my livelihood.
Do something about the brainless fucks that cant live in a society FIRST and maybe I’ll complain less about the surveillance state.
All those surveillance cameras didn’t do shit for Nancy Guthrie
We have been here for years, the NSA has been recording everything we say here in the U.S. for… a long time. I’m not actually clear on how long they’ve been doing it.
Also, I can buy a camera no wider than a penny and have it quite literally anywhere on my person without you knowing — unless nudists also have a rule where they drive to the nude beach naked, you’ve kinda been shit out of luck for a while there too.
Edit: sorry, sorry — I lied. It is slightly larger than a penny.

Thank you for mentioning nude beaches. I’m a woman and I have a favorite nude beach I go to and people constantly have their phones/(camera) out and it’s not okay. If they’re confronted about it they’ll just respond that it’s a public placeand it’s legal to film in public. It’s out of control at this beach. It’s disgusting. A few weeks ago there was a man sitting staring at me for an hour (I was napping asleep, he was there before I fell asleep and he was still there when I woke up, still staring at me) and in retrospect I realize he was wearing these meta glasses. I told him firmly angrily to stop staring at me and he finally got up and left 😡
