A new app alerts you if someone nearby is wearing smart glasses | TechCrunch A hobbyist developer's new app, which can detect nearby smart glasses, comes amid resistance to always-on recording and listening devices that invade people's privacy.

Since Iโ€™ve seen people bring it up, if youโ€™re worried about creeps with Meta camera glasses at GDC, thereโ€™s an Android app that sniffs for the Bluetooth signature the glasses have. If you can handle the possibility of false positives, itโ€™s gotten good coverage. techcrunch.com/2026/03/02/n...

Idrisah and Cheevwut sit in her cubicle organizing a pile of loose cables on the floor.  Idrisah: Cheevwut, do you know where I put that USB-G cable?  A series of increasingly loud thumping footsteps causes Idrisah look up in surprise. Talita has returned, gripping the top of the cubicle wall, eyes wild.  Idrisah: Is something wrong?  Talita glances fearfully at the entrance to the admin wing, the direction she fled from.  Talita: Thereโ€™sโ€ฆ centaurs outside.  Cheevwut: Oh yeah, thatโ€™s your new temp crew.

Talita grips her neck, horrified.  Talita: What??  Cheevwut: Mel wanted it to be a surprise. Looks like it worked.

Talita: Iโ€“  Idrisah's computer, which isnโ€™t packed yet, begins to ring. It's a call from someone named "Ranni Powell." Cheevwut leans over to peek at the monitor.

Talita and Idrisah exchange a panicked look.  Cheevwut: Uhโ€ฆ You gonna pick it up?  Idrisah quickly taps the enter key to pick up the call. Ranni's wrinkly whiskered face appears on the video call screen, with the tubular space station interior behind her. It is cluttered with decades of memorabilia. The bulkhead doors are ringed with circular drawstring curtains, the hatch handles and hand holds are covered with crocheted cozies, and family picture frames are attached all over the floorless walls. Paul floats behind Ranni, upside-down from the camera's perspective, using a computer console surrounded by duck figurines and childrens' artwork.  Ranni: Hello Idrisahโ€“ย Oh, sorry, dear, I forgot you were packing up today! Should I call Ohwitiil instead?  Idrisah tries to conceal her terror. Cheevwut peeks over her shoulder nosily. Talita crouches behind the cubicle wall, trying to hide.  Idrisah: Hi Ranni! Itโ€™s fine!ย Whyโ€™d you call?

Weird how ICE keeps murdering people by shooting them through their side car windows, and keeps lying that they were "in danger," and the media keeps uncritically printing their lies, and incriminating footage keeps coming out.

I've been listening to an audiobook about airships (zeppelins, dirigibles, or blimps, depending on locale), and how they NEVER really worked, but governments had invested so much in them that they were determined to MAKE them work, wasting fortunes & years & lives

This post is not about airships

a four-panel stick-figure cartoon

panel one:
three standing figures. from left to right, a guy wearing a necktie looking at his phone, an angry MAGA guy yelling FUCK YOUR FUCKIN POST FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU, and a rando just standing there like an NPC. 

panel two:
the guy looking at his phone shows MAGA guy his hand, causing MAGA to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where fuckface once was. a green-bordered in-game message appears, reading "+2 Mental Health." now the rando is suddenly interested.

panel three:
as our man continues doom-scrolling, a sly grin on his face, the rando on the right puts on a punch-me face and snarls: "Typical lefty, blocking everyone who disagrees with-"

panel four
phone guy shows the hand to punch-me face, causing the rando to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where that dickhead was. a green-bordered in-game message appears again, reading "+2 Mental Health."
