Since Meta launched its AI-powered Ray-Bans, which can record video and audio as well as make calls, there’s been a growing privacy backlash against the specs, with many dubbing them “pervert” glasses after they were reportedly used to film people without their consent. (…)

Never one to miss an opportunity to take a public swipe at big tech, the alternative search engine DuckDuckGo has now launched a new range of glasses in collaboration with the San Diego firm Knockaround (…)

The twist: with their permanent offline mode, zero cameras and mics, no AI or electronics of any kind, the “California cool” Paso Robles have been hailed as “the world’s most innovative anti-surveillance sunglasses,” AKA "Normal F***ing Sunglasses” according to Knockaround’s website.

      My personal belief is that there have never been and will never be any crimes committed against pervert-glasses wearers. I’m convinced I will never see one, they don’t exist. In fact, just last night I didn’t see two crimes committed against them, neither in the face nor in the balls.

        Are you trying to reply to people?

        Or did you intentionally make 5 individual and nonsensical replies to the same post?

        Edit:

        Well, apparently it’s a glitch?

            Impossible it was something you did.

            Because all comments are now showing as replies, even mine which didn’t when it posted.

            Either there was a minor glitch with the server that fixed itself, or more likely it was on my client side.

            In any case:

            Yes, your comments in this thread are showing as replies to other comments now
