Smart glasses and the new DHS surveillance budget | Biometric Update The Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 budget justification lays out an expansive biometric and identity tech agenda.

“In other words, the glasses are being developed as a mobile biometric interface for frontline immigration enforcement.”

Not so fun fact: The US already houses more than 1/3 of the data centers that already exist and more than all of Europe combined.

Monterey Park, California has banned any data centers within its city limits Monterey Park's city council has moved to ban construction of any data centers within its borders.

“The California city's leaders placed a permanent ban on these buildings, labelling them a public nuisance. A proposed plan to construct a 250,000 square foot data center was stopped after residents and advocates pushed back against the project.”

No need. Just "forget" to turn on the A/C.

The US is literally being run by a convicted felon with impunity, so that checks out.

SUPPORT THESE DATA CENTERS SCHOOLS LIBRARIES BOOKSTORES

My opinion:
To me, it’s more than the pollution.
It’s more than the ridiculous waste of water.

To me, the entire PURPOSE behind data centers is deadly to the human race (and maybe all life on Earth).

The best case is that AI centers help them advertise to us.
Worst case - they control weapons.

ICE’s Smart Glasses Are a Worst-Case Scenario The DHS is reportedly developing its own smart glasses that it plans to couple with biometric databases and facial recognition.

“There are a lot of privacy pitfalls that come along with smart glasses, but the potential for their use as a tool for mass surveillance is easily one of the most harrowing.”

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: it’s way too easy to influence AI Overviews

All my tech feeds: *AI worship*

All my algorithms of real humans: f*** AI

The ‘Enshittification’ of TikTok Or how, exactly, platforms die.

This might not help, but it'll help you feel less crazy:

Buy from your local stores. Boycott Amazon.

Well some of us do not just talk about it. We refuse to cushion pockets by not using their services like Amazon, Facebook, meta or whatever. Stop enriching the super rich.

I canceled my Prime membership with Amazon 18 months ago. I’m basically boycotting Amazon.

I look up products I want on its website to determine manufacturers’ names and order directly from other suppliers.

I used to think that tech companies were run by people with some moral compass who may have been disturbed by how their tech was being used but didn't want to wade into the moral issues of how it was being used. Now I've come to understand they have no moral compass at all. They don't care.

'Dystopian'? Smart glasses may be watching (and recording) you Advocacy groups issued a letter saying wearable tech like Meta's smart glasses represents a “dystopian privacy invasion.”

“‘Even though people often say there’s no such thing as privacy in public, the truth is a lot more complicated,’ said [Woodrow] Hartzog, who works in privacy and technology law.”

Saying The Quiet Part Out Loud Dept.-Kinda sounds like he's admitting he interfered in the election with VERY specific statistics.

I quit Twitter because he bought it, way before his confession he stole the election for the Orange Atrocity. 🍊💩

Now I'm SURE I made the right decision! 👍

Store brands have the same active ingredients.

Look up which stores near you are least complicit in a fascist regime (sometimes you gotta choose the lesser of evils unfortunately), but support local businesses when possible!
