@mapache @badgefed You’ve piqued my curiosity. I’m interested in being a tester.

I made an app.
play.google.com/store/apps/det
Nearby Glasses is here to warn you when smart glasses are nearby.

I hope it's useful for someone.

The app is now open source (AGPL-3.0), the app is free and rather simple
github.com/yjeanrenaud/yj_near

It's also downloadable outside the Play Store. iOS port is in the making. F-Droid is an option, will have to look into that

Smart Glasses are probably nearby
Device: Unknown
RSSI: -42 dBm
Reason: Meta Company ID (0x058E)
Company: Meta Platforms, Inc.

This app notifies you when smart glasses are nearby. It uses company identificators in the Bluetooth data sent out by these. Therefore, there likely are false positives (e.g. from VR headsets). Hence, please proceed with caution when approaching a person nearby wearing glasses. They might just be regular glasses, despite this app's warning.

@dajb Perplexity? Is that part of Proton or something else?

@dajb I applaud your principle and courage. Having done this, is there any advice you would give to someone who was trying to move to a more privacy respecting approach to off site data backup?

I am reading and loving @adapalmer and it is - within my mind - in (mostly gentle) discourse with ’s and ’s , both of which I read years ago, and which I now want to re-read.

@pluralistic Because I teach middle school students, I will have to discuss “ platform decay.”

@harrysintonen I’m torn about this. I’d like to think I could do something like this with enough research, but the time investment is daunting.

@mattsheffield The quote posted article is true and the most discouraging thing I’ve read in quite some time.

@bitboxer I poked around in a YAML validator and figured it out. There was an issue with the indentation of the line with the actual IR code.

@arstechnica If we had a small disc format, we could improve audio quality by increasing rotation speed by about a third. We could call it … a 45.

@bitboxer I can IRSend from the GUI but when I try to save the script I get:

Error in parsing YAML: can not read a block mapping entry; a multiline key may not be an implicit key (line: 13, column: 1)

I have no idea,unfortunately, what that means.

@bitboxer Thanks for your post on the ZS06. Until I found it I thought I was going to have to migrate everything from ZHA TO Z2MQTT.

@zelf Greetings from another Scuttlebutt refugee. I finally came back after several years only to find it all but dead. Has anyone done a post mortem?

@pluralistic

I’m probably behind the curve, but this is the first time I’ve seen enshittify migrate into the francophone world.

@cwebber Given the way the relay is designed and its high resource requirements I’m not sure decentralization beyond some sort of oligopoly of choosing from a handful of giant entities running relays is practical.

@cogdog Is this android or iOS?

@kjhealy I wonder if Tolkien names are more common as middle names, or do those show up in the data?
