Facebook introduces private messages. They’re private. Ah, no! They sold these messages to Microsoft, Amazon and Huawei! – They trust me, dumbfucks!
Facebook has all interest to work for the benefits of its users. Ah, no! They literally experimented on people to see if they could make them more depressed or more happy. – They trust me, dumbfucsk!
Facebook has an active moderation. Ah, no! They knowingly let disinformation spread and lead to a genocide because engagement numbers were good. – They trust me, dumbfucks!
Instagram minds kids and their sensitivities. Ah, no! They have algorithms to exploit their insecurity because engagement numbers were good, who cares if a few of them end up depressed and kill themselves. – They trust me, dumbfucks!
Whatsapp has E2E because they value privacy. Ah, no! The app sends home a copy of the private key on demand, rendering the whole thing pointless. – They trust me, dumbfucks.Meta’s glasses would never take a picture without their wearer’s explicit consent.
Fortunately for them, some people are really really really dumbfucks to a point Forrest Gump would look like a genius next to them.

Yeah, I’m totally going to chill because I can’t see a LED… not. Hell yes, I’m still going to call out creep-glass wearers.

Go ahead and test yours. Repeat after each update and check if it’s location and/or time dependent.
- Comment on Dumb glasses 3 days ago:
If you orientate your phone with cameras towards people, they’ll assume you’re taking pics or filming. Otherwise, it’s a general purpose device.
If you wear creep-glasses designed to secretly take pics or film people, a lot of people will assume you’re secretly taking pics or filming.

I’m wondering if it’s really the vaccine or if what makes you vulnerable to the antivax idea also makes you more prone to neurodegenerescence.
- Comment on Dumb glasses 3 days ago:
You still fail to understand you don’t need to be continuously filming to monitor what’s going in front of a camera.
- Comment on Dumb glasses 3 days ago:
You’ll understand when you’ll be surrounded by parents wondering if you’re secretly filming or taking pics of their kids.

You obviously know nothing about fascism.

In this case, the ratio is probably of 100:1 or 1000:1 people in my favor. So if it comes down that, see you outside!

Let’s say hypothetically that he assaults you, you sue him, then he raises 200k$ for his defense through crowdfunding because I bet the majority of people don’t want creeps to record them secretly. You’re still confident in your odds?
- Comment on Dumb glasses 4 days ago:
When you say “fascist”, you do realize that fascism involves crowd control and these glasses are a dream for a fascist regime? All the speech about “cameras everywhere is ok” falls right in the authoritarianism thinking, that’s just a step from fascism.
- Comment on Dumb glasses 4 days ago:
It’s absolutely legal to film them as you said, and it is absolutely legal to speak up. If that makes them uncomfortable, that’s entirely their problem, isn’t it?
- Comment on Dumb glasses 4 days ago:
Nope. These things can certainly take pics regularly and still last.
- Comment on Dumb glasses 4 days ago:
But everyone here advocating violence seem to have forgotten how to do democracy.
A lot of changes in democracies happen following violent events. Violence is unfortunately one of the very few effective method to raise attention on an issue.
The law hardly change spontaneously.

If you use a Meta smartglass, the “sharing” is out of your control.
It’s actually going to be interesting when a smartglass wearer has to explain a judge they didn’t know it was recording and uploading pictures or videos.

- Comment on Dumb glasses 4 days ago:
He won’t even know he’s doing it. Why would anyone assume wearers have any control on these smartglasses and what they upload?
- Comment on Dumb glasses 4 days ago:
If I spot one in a public place, and I start filming them while shouting “Are you recording a video right now with these smartglasses?”, I guess that would be totally fine, right? No reason to make them uncomfortable, because they’ll be in their right.
- Comment on Dumb glasses 4 days ago:
The proliferation of cameras in public is not a good thing. I am yet to see data showing it reduces criminality (supposed to be the intent), meanwhile it’s a massive surveillance system.
And the fact that a given situation is bad is hardly a good argument to promote making it worse.
Meta collects data on everyone: from contact info in cellphone through their apps, uploaded photos, videos etc. If you don’t have an account nor consent to anything, they will just not show the data, but will still build the profile combining different sources and feed it to its algorithms.
It has been a well known practice for many years.
- Comment on Dumb glasses 4 days ago:
Most likely either the glasses are in a state of recording, or the wearer has no idea what it’s doing. Damned! After so many scandals, people still assume Meta will do what it claims and not trick its users! Fool me once, shame on you! Fool me twice, shame on me! Fool me 42 times, more, please MOOOOORE!

No technical rational explanation will ever get to them.
Most are there because they want to belong to a community, and because they like the idea of being right where everyone else is wrong, so that they’re the important ones for once.
That’s how you get to them: feed their need to belong, and their need to find enough self-esteem some other way.

I know there is no real association between the game and real life. It’s more a question on the mindset of the researchers. I’m sure there are other games that would fit their needs.
- Comment on It's all SO simple! 2 weeks ago:
A combination of sugar subsidies, market penetration of transformed food while the food industry figured they could make their customers sugar-addict, the start of GDP and minimum salary drifting away from each other, meaning poor households no longer able to afford quality food, and running through 2 or 3 jobs doesn’t leave you much time to cook.
So, in a summary: that’s completely a personal responsibility issue.

Am I the only one who wonders why, in a world where there are already concerns about machines rebellion, when we train rats, robots and a bench of neurons to play a game, it HAS to be Doom, we can’t think about another, non-violent, or let’s be bold: non-destructive game??
- Comment on Annon punches a Nazi 5 weeks ago:
Yes, but what if the next day they are 2 people “supporting ICE”, and the day after they are 4 then 6, then… then they are numemous enough they can terrorize minorities for real.
This boy stopped that right from the start, by showing them: fascists will NOT be tolerated.

- Comment on Do it for your country's debt! 1 month ago:
The debt itself means nothing. The only thing that matters are the interest. So sure, a debt increasing much faster than the economy is an issue. But there is no point in throwing around big numbers. The US GDP was $31.8 trillions in 2025.
The debt will grow. It is intended to grow, that’s by design. You should have a small deficit every year. That’s why the rest of the economy should follow, so that the interest are not becoming overwhelming. The current issue is the US budget (but that’s not the only one, see France for example) is heavily imbalanced because of very large tax cuts to the ultra-wealthy and corporates. With that, you have the description of the issue as well as the obvious solution.
