Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Anyone who buys a set of those is a predator
What kind of idiot? A bunch of morons on TikTok who make content either harassing strangers and setting people up for legal and social issues, or who post creep shots of women for their TikTok baby followers.
Well hopefully they all get blackmailed by a group of recently-laid-off Kenyans.
Someone who wants trun by turn directions more conveniently that airpods or something. Let's you have situational awareness while driving. If they weren't Meta I'd consider some for prompting me about people's names I forget names 5seconds after hearing them. Or people like me who can't consistently distinguish faces, hence the facial recognition witha a database of names would be useful. I could also see them a preferable to a go pro or something when trying to capture and share a pov video while say working on a car or something.
If you were doing that, it would be easy to forget sometimes that you need to turn them off or take them off before private activities. Especially if you need glasses.
Fuck Meta, won't buy their glasses, but absolutely would buy a similar product if I could run it through my servers.
You're claiming that having a tiny projector screen an inch from your eyeballs increases situational awareness while driving? That's a wild take.
Turn by turn directions? You can already get that on your phone. You don't need airpods. In fact, if you have earbuds in while you're driving, you're a danger to everyone around you.
Also, if you're wearing glasses that identify my name via facial recognition and store all that shit even in your own server, and you look at me with those glasses on, I'm fucking breaking them. You forfeited your sole ownership of them when you stole my likeness without my consent.
At least with go pro, everyone can clearly see when you have one on, and people don't typically wear them in casual situations. Mountain biking or scuba diving, sure. But not at a cafe or a town hall.
Anyone who wears that shit deserves to be blackmailed when they forget to take them off before their private activities.
I'm banned from the Technology community, so I couldn't post the updated, easier-to-parse headline there:
Meta in row after workers who say they saw smart glasses users having sex lose jobs
really this is the better version??
It's also awkward, but it explains right away what happened and doesn't use the ambiguous "smart glasses films."
Thanks. I've updated it now.
I would have thought they'd take their glasses off.
To take a shit?

So... Meta don't address the privacy issues. They just move away from the tattle-tales.
Some people are into it.
could have been nightstand pov.
