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.

Started a new job last Monday. Was pleasantly surprised by them having already banned perv glass.

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.

let the downvotes rain but it does not matter who is uploading data to meta about its unconsenting environment.

I’ll never understand why Google Glass were so offensive but these are just fine

What if we punished crimes instead of monetizing them? We’ve had a multimedia Internet for a generation now, we could do this.

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 lose 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.

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.

I was chatting with our CEO the other day and the topic 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.

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.

requiring it already even with phones? can I ask what kind of places is it?
- thejml@sh.itjust.worksEnglish1 day
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.

Yeah, literal camera pointed at computer screens, with a view of fingers on the keyboard, and who knows what apps installed with access. Anyone who does that should be fired as they are a danger to the organization.

People need to start being more violent to gargoyles. You wear rayban, you risk getting popped without warning.

I’m so in for this. I am so tired and disgusted about how we let these influencers and content retards allow normal people to be turned into shitposts on the internet. If we started beating the hell out of these little shits a decade ago we woudnt have this problem. Luckely Ive never had anyone ever pull a camera on me in public. But I’m pretty sure I’d go to jail for whatever happens next.
- jdr@lemmy.mlEnglish4 hours
Maybe you should just go to jail pre-emptively, if you can’t control your violent urges.
21 hoursThere are legitimate uses for head mounted cameras that track your focus.
There are none for these devices that try to obfuscate their presence.

I hate that I had to retire my Raybans to home use only. They look exactly like meta glasses.

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.
