Nearby Glasses is here to warn you when smart glasses are nearby.I hope it's useful for someone.
The app is open source, free and rather simple
https://github.com/yjeanrenaud/yj_nearbyglassesIt's also downloadable outside the Play Store. iOS port is in the making
@yjeanrenaud then you find them and go

@daltux @fdroidorg @yjeanrenaud yes, please! I'm a normie and find using f-droid MUCH easier than using GitHub

@yjeanrenaud new spyware dropped
@fuchsi @yjeanrenaud What do you mean by "new spyware"?

@yjeanrenaud I'm 100 ok with the false positive. I mean I want to know if someone buy or use any Meta product. It's a red flag

@yjeanrenaud that's great and all, but as a non-gender-conforming glasses wearer with social anxiety and somewhat visible autism, do you understand how much harder you're going to make it for me to exist in a city?
no, a weak-ass disclaimer at the bottom of a paragraph of text isn't sufficient. the vast - overwhelming, i'd suggest - majority of people wearing glasses are wearing entirely un-smart glasses that are necessary for them to see shit. and at least some of us are going to be harassed because of this app. "some of us" meaning disproportionately disadvantaged folk - who are of course the least likely to be able to afford smart glasses anyway, but by far the easiest people to approach and smash the entirely necessary prosthetic glasses of.
in short - go back to the drawing board, and don't be so fucking ableist and irresponsible in your next iteration.

You can easily check for trackers. This app doesn't have any, and it has fewer permissions than most other apps, too:

@daltux @manualdousuario I did, and I did prepare the merge request. Takes some time for me, though
@yjeanrenaud @daltux @manualdousuario
Your license has a non commercial clause. Is that compatible with f-droid? I'm not sure, but it's worth noting.

@CppGuy @mosquete @yjeanrenaud thank you so much for having checked that. I should have done it myself. I just installed the apk and will play with this app.

@yjeanrenaud is this app vibe coded?

@mewsleah @yjeanrenaud I should mention that it's not scanning for all bluetooth signals, only for ones associated with Meta

@mewsleah @yjeanrenaud I'm sorry, don't know anything about the topic, but why non-smart glasses would be affected?

@f4grx thank you. I say so in the privacy statement, too. I know, companies lie a lot in those, but I don't
or at least I try not to. Maybe I missed something. I'm no lawyer either -
@petko no. I am just a bad coder
@yjeanrenaud didn't mean it as an insult to your code, I'm just straying away from vibecoded side projects. Will take it for a spin, thanks!

@petko everything is ok. I did not take it offensive, anyhow.

@mewsleah I have to wear glasses myself. But thank you for pointing this out for me. I am grateful I improve. Will think about how to address that.
