minus-squarevery_well_lost@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up46·14 days agoWell for one thing, it’s creepy and the people around you don’t want to be passively recorded 24/7. Remember Google Glass? Its users were called “glassholes” for a reason.

minus-squarelepinkainen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down3·14 days agoOf course it is. But if I do it locally it’s just me, not some megacorps wage slaves looking at the data. Mostly my nerd brain would like to go “what is this plant” or “overlay all planes overhead to my screen” 😀
minus-squareExLisper@lemmy.curiana.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·14 days agoThere are to separate issues here: corporation gathering surveillance data on everyone creeps filming women and children Even if it’s just for you it’s still creepy. You may not record people without consent but we don’t know that. All we see is a camera pointed at us.

minus-squarelepinkainen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·14 days agoIt’s not about being nice. It’s about me knowing where my data is.
minus-squarecabillaud@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·14 days agoAre you a cybersecurity expert? Can you guarantee that the data you’ll collect with your secret agent glasses won’t end up in the open?
minus-squarelepinkainen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·14 days agoYes. Unless someone phyiscally breaks into my house and steals my server. Which would require a very targeted attack which again is WAAY out of scope in my (and everyone else’s) threat model
