Obviously Google Glass didn't last, but wearable tech is still a big thing, and people are already voyeuristic and narcissistic enought to be livestreaming everything, all of them time, and for it to have an audience. All it's going to take is a few more years - maybe a decade - of tech development and I think we're going to start seeing cheap and discreet wearable cameras all over the place, livestreaming poo poo constantly, and it's going to be a massive issue for personal privacy.

As an amateur photographer I always get a little bit worried when people say that being photographed/filmed while out in public is a violation of your personal privacy. If you were going to do something about it, where do you draw the line between taking snapshots that happen to contain members of the public and unacceptable creeping on people?

I think there's already a fairly obvious distinction between taking photos in public, and deliberately photographing specific people. It becomes even clearer when the division is between obviously having a camera setup because you're an amateur photographer (or even a professional one), and the kind of intrusive secret and semi-secret recording of specific individuals.

In the last year I've seen a few stories addressing the trend of living in environments of constant surveillance like "dazzle camo" makeup and hair styles, and "anti surveillance clothing". Obviously these are designed to highlight the debate around facial recognition in particular, rather than to be functional, everyday solutions, but it's a really interesting issue, and it feels like we're on the cusp of it becoming a major factor in society.
I don't think people are now, or will ever be, ready to give up on the notion of personal privacy.
State surveillance has been massive for decades, then routine business surveillance as CCTV systems and fancy routers got smaller and cheaper, now it's just happening at the personal level.

I'm not sure that's altogether a bad thing, because that allows for sousveillance too. BLM didn't come into existence because police started shooting an abnormally high number of black kids that year, it came into existence in part because they were doing the same poo poo as always but this time around everyone in the community had small portable recording devices. I've also heard that one of the biggest forms of antisocial behavior on council estates prevented by CCTV rollout was coppers knocking kids about for a laugh.

Other forms of anti-surveillance are becoming practical at the individual/community level. Encryption was once the domain of governments, then of turbonerds, now it's easy enough that anyone can make use of it and governments are starting to piss their pants a little over it.

There's plenty of times you might want to take a picture of a specific individual though. Maybe they have an interesting look, or are doing something interesting, or they just compose a shot nicely. At the moment the assumption is that if you're out in public for everyone to see then you don't have a presumption of privacy. Is that wrong in your opinion?

Define regressive left, because right now it seems like a made up buzzword to sum up a couple of 17 year olds on Tumblr who don't actually exist in the real world. That seems like a bad reason to attach yourself to a movement of racists & xenophobes & misogynists.

It's only ironic self-hatred. I used to think the idea of paying for a forum was dumb & then all forums died & also I realised the pay barrier keeps a lot of dipshits out which makes SA really quite OK aside from a few certain areas.

I wonder which bits he thinks he got wrong? The designer drugs are coming, mechanical limbs are close future, direct brain connections, and implants close future, weird visual hacking unlikely because why? But not impossible with all the VR poo poo going on but again hackers seem comfortable enough looking at boring code and that's not likely to change. AI's close future. True AI? Wildcard, who knows? The only thing dumb about his cyberpunk poo poo is the wacky clothes and made up cyber punk words.

I'd say anyone standing on a national single issue is completely wasting their time and money just because of the way Parliament is structured - even if he were somehow to be elected he's basically going to get to file a couple of early-day motions which have the same legislative power as a Facebook post. While I guess it's not strictly crazy, it's certainly wildly unrealistic even in the best-case scenario.

I had two personal experiences of this, and they're both goony as gently caress so y'all can get a good laugh out of it.

A couple of years ago I was taking my lunch at work, sitting out in the shade, and just kind of zoned out. At about 5pm I was walking out the building and a woman came up obviously surprised to see me, and said that earlier when looking around with her husband (who she said was a photographer) they had seen me at lunch and he'd taken a picture. The woman showed me the pic on her husband's phone and it was actually a nice and flattering photo. I got them to email it to me and it's still my facebook profile picture.

The second time I was sat on a train going home, some random woman gets on, sits opposite, keeps glancing surreptitiously at me and eventually tried to take a sneaky photo with her camera phone. I (and everybody else nearby) knew this because the shutter noise went off and she immediately looked super embarrassed.

Neither of those people asked permission, but those two situations felt different for me somehow. The second felt much more intrusive, perhaps because it was deliberately secretive (or an attempt at being so) and felt kind of pervy. The first one was just some person taking an interesting photo.

So there's my humblebrag about how I'm just SO FREAKING HOT that random people take pictures of me in public, which I expect to re-read imminently on the goons.txt twitter.
