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 cool! Please consider publishing it on the F-Droid store, too.

@autisticplushy @yjeanrenaud I think it was used for Google Glass wearers 2 decades ago.
@rhelune @yjeanrenaud xddd
-
@yjeanrenaud Now we need an app to Jam them or make them stop working altogether.
/sarcasm
That could be done by politly asking...and if that won't help, there's always a slap.

@mosquete @yjeanrenaud Probably not the best idea given its security track record. Should be put on Accrescent though.

@yjeanrenaud It could also trigger a laser pointer to burn the sensor

@yjeanrenaud awesome idea, Yves! I shared your app in my blog: https://manualdousuario.net/en/nearby-glasses-app-camera-meta-alert/

@daltux @manualdousuario I did, and I did prepare the merge request. Takes some time for me, though

@yjeanrenaud Awwww heck yeah! Nice work!
@chrisp thanks!

@yjeanrenaud So simple but so effective
I've got a pair of Meta Quest 1 and a Meta Quest 3 in the house if you need fingerprinting from them to see if you can filter them out?
@naturepunk @yjeanrenaud I think if they can be picked out it’s a good thing, but theoretically they can load the same type of capture and recognition capabilities- so even though it should be obvious someone is using them, they could be disguised as something else if not worn by the user? Seems fine to keep detecting them.

@yjeanrenaud Nice idea. There's something odd, though, causing the top bar of the app to go behind the Android status bar. This is Android 16 on a Pixel 8.
Also, the button text stays as "Start Scanning" after being pressed along with the "Not scanning" label below although log entries start appearing.

@ivanjeronimo @yjeanrenaud Just start playing a song.
Maybe something from the Damned.
Maybe this one... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klidqI-5jOw . -

@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

@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.
