The glasses introduce a certain amount of deniability that spy cameras or walking around with a cell phone in 'record position' do not have. ("I'm not spying, I'm using this for navigating")

If these glasses become more common, then 'creepers' will become much more common.

It's not unlike the uproar over Flock cameras. Yes, you could record license plates before, but when they become ubiquitous, it's a qualitatively different thing.

Researchers Show How Meta's 'Pervert Glasses' Are Used to Harass Women

A new study shows how pickup artist influencers use smart glasses to create content, and the connection between covert recording and harm.

The researchers compiled a dataset of 350 Instagram videos posted between September 2023 and March 2026.

More reading, in the unlikely event you want to be informed:

"Prairieland Defendant Sentenced to 30 Years in Prison for Moving a Box of Antifascist Zines "

"Prosecutors convinced a jury that the fact that the eight defendants present at the protest wore all black and used the Signal encrypted messaging app supported their material support of terrorism charges."

"Sanchez Estrada's wife, Maricela Rueda, received a 70-year sentence, longer than most of the other defendants because of her alleged role in a conspiracy to commit obstruction by asking Sanchez Estrada to move the zines after her arrest."

Every one of your posts:
  a) Good stuff is because of Trump.
  b) Bad stuff is because of someone else.
  c) Hand-wavey made-up facts to support a) and b)

The reason prices haven't reached the same peak under Trump is because of worldwide adoption of renewals. There's a link describing this above.

And if Biden's policies had such large effect, why can't you find a single citation to support your point? Are you really that bad at searching the internet?

To reiterate:
    - Trump's actions caused significant and lasting increases in oil prices that persist right now.
    - Biden's actions did not cause anything like that.

The war in Ukraine did not change

Still laughing at this. When did Putin invade Ukraine?

One of the things I learned studying economics is that large markets are really only affected by large events. So something that impacts a fifth of the world energy market, like a large energy supplier launching an invasion or an idiot starting a poorly-planned war next to a delivery chokepoint is going have a significant effect.

But a policy that only affects a tiny fraction of a fraction of the world energy supply is not going to have the same effect. And this policy's effect is so small you cannot find a single specific reference that even describes it (still laughing at that too).

To reiterate:
    - Trump's actions caused significant and lasting increases in oil prices that persist right now.
    - Biden's actions did not cause anything like that.

Ahh, sealioning. Yet another deflection in your unending defense of Donald Trump.

Trump and his DOJ directly attacked the First Amendment in this case and others, and the result is insane jail sentences for people who never should have been charged.

If you actually cared about free speech, you would be able to acknowledge that. But trolling seems to be your primary goal.

Making yourself look really stupid is an interesting trolling strategy.

Your attempts to deflect responsibility from Trump are getting comical.

The Wikipedia article linked a few posts above has 143 citations for its descriptions of what affected the oil market.

You were not able to find even one to support your claim.

The reality:
  - Some supposed regulations you cannot name did not have a significant or lasting effect on oil prices.
  - OTOH, Trump's war had an obvious and direct effect.
  - The thing keeping oil prices from all-time peaks is renewables:

    Of course, Trump is trying to fuck up renewables in the US.

The sentences in the Prairieland case were horrific:

This was a direct result of Trump designating "antifa" as a terrorist organization.

Since this was Trump's DOJ, you are now going to claim this was all ok ....

Recording broadcast TV died off as soon as Apple or whoever started posting new episodes online later in the night.

Where? I've never seen this for many shows.

An example: Jeopardy!. Sometimes you can find bootleg-like copies on Youtube, but they have all sorts of weird artifacts to try and fool auto-detecting software.

OTOH, recording the broadcast on my TiVo works very well.
