      It’s a shame that we’ve developed covert network-connected spycams widely available from some of the most dangerously centralized organizations ever conceived, yeah

        It’s really shameful, because people with vision impairments could use something like these without being reliant on said networks.

          They could easily be medical condition access only. It’s not like this option is taken off the table.

              No of course spycorp gonna then try and argue anything with eyeballs = impairment.

              I do feel those with visual impairment is a good tech case. But it needs to be highly regulated on both side.

              FTR I hate the things. And big tech can’t be trusted. However the tech still has a reasonable purpose if big tech could keep its big nose out.
