@Pamela1960 @yjeanrenaud let's not forget that these devices could be very useful, maybe even life-changing for people with impaired sight, and possibly other disabilities too?
@stine @Pamela1960 absolutely. I impose to people abusing it, for abusing people

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 hey. I'm having great trouble getting it to work on a Pixel 9. It asks for nearby device and notification permissions which I allow but then I can never initiate a scan and the debug log is just an empty rectangle. oh also the top bar is displayed under my status bar so those tap targets are inaccessible. tapping start scan does nothing

@0 known issues. Working on it, thank you

@lady_alys @yjeanrenaud thanks for correcting me.
Apparently that wording was enough to insult and block me.

@fuchsi @lady_alys I took no offence. Honestly, I was not sure where this is heading towards, either. Sorry people called you out

@yjeanrenaud remindes me in https://f-droid.org/packages/de.seemoo.at_tracking_detection/
Maybe you should develop one App -
Smart glasses could be described as spyware (recording images and audio without your knowlege or consent).
This app isn't spyware. It's using information that is already available to your phone (Bluetooth IDs that other devices are already sending out on their own accord) and merely making it easier for you to be aware of that information.

@fuchsi
They misunderstood your intention and overreacted badly.

@ellaw @mewsleah @yjeanrenaud The person apparently believes that anytime someone with this app gets pinged, they will immediately start haranguing anyone around them wearing glasses of any kind.
@ellaw @mewsleah @yjeanrenaud She blocked me, but for the record, there was no "pronoun game". I didn't know, so I went with singular they as a default because tbh I'm accustomed to that only being offensive to MAGA troglodytes.
And I'll admit I could have been less sarcastic, so I suppose I'm 0 for 2.

@yjeanrenaud
I want something similar to this for when I come across fediverse people in real life
It would be fun
Btw, I already have https://streetpass.social/ in my browsers for a similar purpose
Introverts gonna hate me for this🥲
#fediverse #discovery #streetpass #Mastodon #friends #fedi -
@wendinoakland @FredricT @yjeanrenaud that you would need such an app as a spy.
Counter-intelligence? -
