I don’t like this “smart glasses are evil” sentiment. They would improve the lives of many people. I’ve seen demonstrations of its use for blind people. Even people simply travelling and having everything translated automatically would be nice. But, yeah, going into a restroom with them on, or not asking for authorization from the patient to use them, crosses a big red line.
I only spend time on Lemmy in bursts, but it has become pretty clear that most people in this "technology" community absolutely hate all forms of technology. It's pretty weird.
I don't hate tech. But we are definitely in time of techno robber barons who have long drained any benefit of the doubt. Meta especially deserves no grace.
There's a clear disctinction these days bewteen "Tech" and "Big Tech™️". This is firmly in the latter.
