Is it time for wearables to pivot to video?
Wearable gadgets have come a long way in the last fifteen years or so. And in some ways it feels like they’re finally coming full circle. Before smartwatches or true wireless earbuds were a thing, there was Google Glass: a small, connected display that you’d wear like a pair of glasses. The platform never really took off.
But smartwatches have become increasingly common, as has eyewear like […]

I give a fiver each month to the wonderful FOSS-type things below:
- Signal (killing Meta's WhatsApp)
- Libre Office (slaying Microsoft's 365)
- GrapheneOS (kicking Google Stock Android in the goolies)
If you use any of these - and you can afford to - why not set up a monthly dontation to the wonderful organisations above.

This comic by @jensorensen sums it up perfectly when it comes to decisions for or against certain social media networks. Let's do better!

@verge And this is the man in charge of the new #chatcontrol act in #europe. He gets all Photos, video’s, chats of all europians. It’s like make a pedofile director of the protect children foundation. #eu #css #meta #zuckerberg #whatsapp #signal
Hmm, I thought that Meta, just like Twitter, went full Trump bootlicking mode ? Check, yes (bookmarked) 7 Jan 2025, one day after felon Donald T. Jr. was back as POTUS. : https://www.techpolicy.press/transcript-mark-zuckerberg-announces-major-changes-to-metas-content-moderation-policies-and-operations/ #fascism #racism #Trump #Meta #Zuckerberg
#Meta is one of the creepiest companies existing on this planet when it comes to #privacy and now it's pushing for making Meta AI to scan all photos stored on people's devices.
No app should access anyone's pictures stored on any device and upload it automatically to cloud without explicit consent.
People often store photos related to their personal life, family moments and photos that are sensitive. People also store photos of their children, friends and other persons. No company has the right to access and process them by default for any purpose, including training their #AI models. https://www.tomsguide.com/ai/meta-might-be-accessing-your-camera-roll-without-permission-heres-the-fix #facebook #llm
Als AI nou zo notoir slecht beelden kan analyseren, waarom wil de EU dan met #Chatcontrol & #ProtectEU al onze berichten, foto’s en cloudopslag laten scannen? Nog wel door Meta. Alleen al in 2022: 400.000 Nederlanders die onterecht door Facebook geflagd werden.

The Jury has spoken Meta stole Flo app users' intimate menstrual data.
Yep, Meta wants it all - even your most intimate data.

Op het stadskantoor voor een ondersteuningsverklaring zodat de Piratenpartij straks op het stembiljet staat. Hier maakt de gemeente Delft keihard reclame voor een privacy hatende dienst van het anti-democratische Meta.
Dit is een goed voorbeeld hoe hard de Piratenpartij nodig is.
@evan That is an option, but many folks in the #Fediverse might be wary of relying on #Google or #Meta.
It will not be long before an Age Verification company that makes plugins for #WordPress will create a premium workaround for #Mastodon sites.

For secure communication @Signal and most of the time I use Wi-Fi only in airplane mode.
BTW I do NOT use #WhatsApp - because it does collect metadata for #meta
#telegram is even worse, does not provide encryption by default.

No, the Facebook Lite app, does not add a level of privacy and security.
No Meta (Facebook) app does that.
