Sorry if I wasn't clear, my question was about using adb so I don't have to do this process (so I don't have to wait 24h).

Buy a new phone, install F-Droid via adb, install F-Droid apps (the same day): is that possible?

Can you answer this question:

If you install F-Droid via ADB, can F-Droid then install the apps from its catalog?

The app will still exist, but only on mobile (which is absolutely inexplicable).

I was confused at first at what the different "levels" mean. But they're not levels, they're just indices.

I would suggest the author changes the UI to just show a number instead of a bar, to make this clearer.

Instead, the screen has big bezel.

All right here's my position:

- filming people without their consent is wrong

- the vast majority of people are not creeps and are not discreetly filming random people

- the vast majority of people are not interesting, and nobody is filming them

- today, in a public space, everybody already has lots or cameras pointing to them (e.g. anyone with a phone), without a way to know if they're being filmed. So this is not a new 'problem'.

- banning smart glasses doesn't make sense if you're not also banning all devices that can film discreetly (so, smartphones)

- 'creeps' use hidden miniature cameras, not glasses with an obvious camera right there on their very face

Obviously, the implication was that of course nobody's filming that person, they're just using their phone. Thinking otherwise is not reasonable.

This argument is invalid. Creeps exist, and if they want to discreetly film stuff, they have many great options (hidden miniature cameras).

In fact why on earth would they choose the Ray Ban glasses which are getting highly suspicious?

Why would they disallow cameras on glasses but not cameras on phones, where it's just as easy to take pictures discreetly.

Not to mention, hidden miniature cameras have existed for decades.

Tangential, but how can OpenAI and Sam Altman still use Twitter after Musk's ridiculous attacks on their company?
