@elettrona@poliversity.it @smallcircles@social.coop @Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange @index@this.weekinsecurity.com @zackwhittaker@mastodon.social @StopdeGluurbril@mastodon.nl that sounds very useful, I'm glad such a device exists that isn't made by Meta or its ilk. And yeah, in a perfect world we wouldn't have to worry about practical tools getting abused; having cameras onboard for the purpose of giving you a way to live and move about makes absolute sense.

It's just so very unfortunate that we live in a world of the capitalist —and, really what's behind all this, selfish— person. The phrase "and this is why we can't have nice things" always comes to mind. And people who need or otherwise benefit from accessibility solutions usually end up with the short end of the stick.

All I want to say is that I will refuse to talk with anyone who wears one of these products, if they are made by the kinds of corporations that are actively destroying humanity and, indeed, the world as we know it.

But I would love to see the kind of glasses you have, and wouldn't at all mind sharing a cup of coffee or tea with you either. I think I could learn quite a bit from you, even though I also know if I were to listen to how some people behave towards you and some of your friends like those who have guide dogs, I'll probably end up finding even further lows in my disappointment in humanity 😔

@jibsaram @smallcircles @Em0nM4stodon @index @zackwhittaker @StopdeGluurbril You can find pictures around I think, they're called "Ally Solos Glasses".
In office I keep them mostly off, unless in need of description (if computer stops talking, for example).
But they're never on during conversations with people. Unless they just ask "show me".
In this situation, I feel the world is terribly unfair:
you (sighted) could ask me to turn my glasses of, if you feel uncomfortable noticing they're on. No matter if they're an aid - there would be no compromise.
Me, blind, and woman? I have no choice. The man could say "turn off your glasses, for privacy matter" but at the same times he's looking at my ass, my breasts, licking his lips, maybe taking a pic of me with his silent phone, and then placing the material in a non-consensual website (there are many of these). Here in Italy at the beginning of this year, many guys where involved in justice problems after having been caught sending, watching, commenting, pics of their wives or daughters, or female relatives/friends, after they secretly photographed them with no consent. And, I guess, without glasses on.
The situation is much more complex than "glass yes, glass no"
