This app notifies you when smart glasses are nearby. It uses company identificators in the Bluetooth data sent out by these. Therefore, there likely are false positives (e.g. from VR headsets). Hence, please proceed with caution when approaching a person nearby wearing glasses. They might just be regular glasses, despite this app's warning.

“Is there a technology the left is excited about?”

High-speed rail! MRNA vaccines! New cancer treatments! Solar and wind energy collection! Better and longer-range EVs! That wood that's harder than steel! New apples! Fibermaxxing! Buldak Swicy ramen! Muppets! Muppets are too a technology, shut up!

There are four main food groups: 1. Canned 2. Frozen 3. Fried 4. Drive-thru

getting tech recruiting emails is a uniquely horrific psychic experience

wanna build completely unregulated digital casinos? plagiarism machines that give children asthma / detailed suicide instructions? the panopticon?? double enron??? a new kind of cancer that only kills orphans?????

I used to love computer it was my friend. Now I have hate in my heart

Too many people think the issue is "ai look bad" not the stolen data sets not the workers rights not the climate change and the fact that people CANNOT AFFORD TO TURN ON THEIR HEAT because they're subsidizing data centers, let alone the misinformation and fascism

Grimly funny that the person best suited for the rigmarole that is obtaining ADHD meds each month definitely does NOT have ADHD

here's one of mine

screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

In an era filled with tech dipshits who never developed emotionally past the age of 13 & use their wealth to become odious monsters ...

Today I have seen more “just use Linux” messages than ever before.

Gurl, until Linux can absolutely get down plug-n-play like behavior, the general public will not be ready for Linux unless everyone gets a huge dosage of computer literacy.

And I will tell you now, from teaching adults: hahahahaha

Illustration of a slender, light skinned woman lying on her side in bed with one arm outstretched. In the curve of that arm there is a white, translucent image of a cat as if it is a snuggling ghost.

I saw this illustration by @annafollies.bsky.social on Tumblr today and instantly lost it. Still missing Fergus every day. 💔 www.tumblr.com/annafollies

don't remember if I've mentioned this before. tell anyone you see using Google to do this.

hiding "actually do what I asked" is another expression of the paternalistic techbro mindset that gives you "yes" or "not now" options for an unwanted new feature or only lets you hide something "for a while"

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.
