Sailing to the Event Horizon

Here are some basic primers. If someone is wearing what look like Meta glasses, they usually have a small circular camera in the outer corners of the lenses, like the one on your phone.

I would also regularly check their own product pages so you're on top of what the models look like. They tend to have larger frames, but come in a variety of shapes and colors.

A new hobbyist developed app warns if people nearby may be wearing smart glasses, such as Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses, which stalkers and harassers have repeatedly used to film people without their knowledge or consent. The app scans for smart glasses’ distinctive Bluetooth signatures and sends a push alert if it detects a potential pair of glasses in the local area.

The American Foundation for the Blind has said that "The Ray-Ban Meta glasses are an accessibility tool only by coincidence. That makes them more affordable and, in many ways, unaware of the needs of users with reduced vision" although they do have seemingly positive views on Meta Glasses as a whole. (source 10). It also seems like their marketing push as accessibility devices began last year (source 11).

But to add even more into the nonsense, Meta is now toying around with adding a "limit" to the functionality of their glasses unless their users pay for more access (source 12). AND, as stated above, Meta has officially added facial recognition code in their glasses and only admitted it after being called out, which is basically the death of privacy as we know it (source 13, source 14, source 15). And oh look another lawsuit because of it (source 16) THAT THEY LOST (source 17)!

Long story short: I don't begrudge someone using them as a disability aid overall, but ultimately both their privacy and other people's privacy are being disregarded by Meta and that is not and should not be acceptable by any means.

I understand there is no ethical consumption under capitalism but there is a level of personal responsibility someone has to take when using them if they truly truly need them, such as opting out of sharing information, not filming strangers without permission, not posting footage of strangers online, opting out of facial recognition if possible, etc.

like. the movie went to a lot of effort to show the viewer drops of liquid coming off every surface of the sub. including when the liquid in question is just clear instead of being red and bloody. and i was very curious about the point of these environmental storytelling shots because i wanted to understand what was being hinted at. eva says it's "just condensation" but if it was "just condensation", then why would the movie go out of its way to focus on all of these tiny little drips of water running off multiple surfaces in the sub? if it's just water, it's no big deal right?

but today i realized...

that clear liquid that was dripping off everything in the beginning... it seemed a bit too thick to be just regular water condensation.

then i thought:

what if it wasn't water condensation.

what if it was fucking plasma.

he won the curry contest, and along with it the royal warrant, expanding his company by adding a food branch.,

got into a circus troupe that was kidnapping children. children he ultimately ordered burned because they wouldn’t recover from the trauma that befell them,

was almost framed for the murder of a german banker,

was attacked by zombies on a luxury liner, and one of the few people who connected him to his father turned out to be his likely opponent,

attended a boarding school where he became a fag to a high-ranking student, learned to play cricket and led to the second victory in history of the house he belonged to,

almost died first from mustard gas poisoning, then from being shot at by a tank, having a ptsd attack along the way,

established a music hall competing with the performances of four former prefects, outsold them, his friend's butler was killed, his fiancée left him, his dead brother returned as a living doll taking away his title, estate, the servant who had been with him since childhood and (again) he was framed for murders.

and now there’s some crazy guy who keeps trying to out his butler. ciel deserves a vacation, more has happened in his life in one year than in the previous 12 combined.

bonus point: the events of the revenge arc have lasted ONLY 3 DAYS so far​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​.

Still one of the best animations I've ever done. Took just under a week and was equal parts fun and challenging. So here are some process passes! The full version had too many colors so I had to do some compression T0T

Time to become an X-box girl then.

Give Playstation direct feedback on Twitter / X Leave a comment on their official Youtube channel in any new video.

Remember, corporations speak in money. That's their only interest.

Tell them you will cancel your Playstation Plus subscription. Tell them you will not be purchasing their digital games or consoles, current or upcoming. Tell them you will take your money to some other gaming platform provider instead of Playstation. Tell them you are not going to buy their gift cards any longer. Tell them you're ending your customer relationship after X years with them because of this new direction. Tell them you will buy a different console for your kids this Christmas.

One would think that hearing a very distinct, clearly audible, reasonably loud and rapidly approaching sound of any kind would make any reasonable mammal turn to look at the direction of the sound, just purely by instinct?? If a deer heard something nearby go DING DING DING DING DING DING at its general direction, it would at least look up to see whether the source of the sound is a threat or not? Just a quick "is that something I need to be concerned about?" type of glance.

And I lost the ability to use my drawing equipment... the brushes don't move and paint the way they used to a couple of days ago... I'm so confused.
