Translation: Ketamine vs cocaine.

No i used disposable cards. Like the ones you can top up.

This is why I used to use a fake name at gyms. When I quit you can chase that ghost.

My climbing gym lets me pause membership for free. Done it’s few times when I’ve had pulley injuries.

Think about Oppenheimer and the atomic bomb. Yes, the research created a weapon of massive destruction, but the same underlying science led to nuclear energy, medical isotopes, and countless other peaceful applications.

Most engineers aren’t working to create harm, they’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. The bad uses are real, but they don’t erase all the good that comes from that knowledge. The moral responsibility for how technology is applied sits with those who choose to deploy it, not the nerds building it.

It would be like calling Tim Berners-Lee depraved because of what the internet has done for surveillance and propaganda.

Stairs. Also, pretty sure these can jump.

Gonna need something more than a slingshot.

They feel shame and embarrassment like the rest of us.

Not really. The people who designed these are nerds like us that want to push the boundaries of science. If they don’t do it someone else will.

The people that choose what to apply them too are the ones with poor morals. You could build these things and only sell them to places that use them for monitoring things like they do in dangerous factories these days.

Why is that?

Would you be able to change the IMEI as I would have thought those were encoded on the hardware chip. If you could it means they couldn’t blacklist the phone if you stopped paying.

Paying you can spoof it

Cool username.

Erm… What is flat earth about then? Genuinely curious. Is that to be anti-establishment? As that’s me but I’m bit anti-science. Or is something else.

Fair point on the glasses but my understanding if they show when recording and ultimately if someone wants to perv on me then they’ll do with or without glasses.

Do you have the same anger towards spy cameras like a lapel camera?

TIL I leaned asking why is toddler behaviour, rather than trying to understand your reservations.

And did you have the same outrage when phone cameras became a thing.

I don’t know about you dude but if I’m a urinal and someone is looking at me I’m having words regardless of any device they’re holding.

For what it’s worth fuck meta but right now you’re old man shouting a clouds.

You sound like the right wingers saying what’s to stop a trans person raping me in the toilet.

This is an example of where you do have the expectation of privacy. Although a bathroom may be in public it’s not legally a public area.

I do street photography so I have checked the rules in my country.

People could do that before meta glasses. I’m not talking about governments here. I’m talking about regular people and you have no illusion of privacy in public. Pretty common sense that.

Yeah I’ve seen those. The mind that thinks up these things aye.

Had me in the first 95% I can’t lie.

I’d build and use one of these if I could get the explosives to go with it and the address of a CEO.

People could do that before bro. Phone, DSLR, etc.

You have no assumption of privacy in public. If this hypothetical stalker is following you then they’ll do that with or without meta glasses.

I used to party hard and I’ve got fucked up with people going on about Covid vaccine as we are actively doing lines off a fucking table. When id point it out they’d say that’s different.

Idiots.
