Last week, Wired reported that Meta discreetly moved to infuse facial recognition tech into its popular smart glasses, as evidenced by a piece of code discovered in the Meta AI app by the magazine’s journalists. The unreleased feature, internally dubbed “NameTag,” would “transform faces captured by Meta’s glasses into unique biometric signatures, commonly known as faceprints, and check each one against faceprints stored on the user’s phone — a database that’s currently configured to receive updates from Meta,” as Wired put it.

Though it’s not yet actively available for consumers.

Awww, sweet!

I live in a place where trains pass by often and they’re usually carrying coal.

If we see one while out and about, I’ll ask those with me, “do you know kind of train that is?”

And then I sing, “A coooooooooooal train!”.

I’ve done this many times and will do it again, I’m sure.

TIL my state became a radioactive exclusion zone in 2023.

Man, the BasicSync app has a long list of permissions…

Why does it need to know my Location?

Oh, you haven’t found it yet?

Since we’re not lawyers, this should be OK.

About 15 years ago, I switched to open faced PB& J sandwiches. Each slice of bread gets peanut butter first, then jam or preserves on top. It’s perfect.

Nobody else does this?

Or that morning. Or just an hour before. But sure, it’s part of being human, IMO

Agree, but I wonder if you need to have seen a bunch of other horror films first to really appreciate Tucker and Dale?

Oooh, I think I’ll order a Tab.

Maybe “fad” would be better then “trend” or “fashion”?

The author always tried to mix philosophy with humor. Tries.

Maybe it would help if you read more from the creator?

🙂 Not personally, no. I just read the github site and see he is the main developer of the fossify apps.

You would create an account at https://github.com/

And then go to a specific app’s repo and message a developer from there.

But if you just want to say hello or thank you, that hello@fossify.org email address is probably better.

Naveen’s apps are great, aren’t they?

Update: May 15, 2026 (2:57 AM ET): Google has now confirmed this test in a statement to us while giving more details regarding the feature

Next up: too many people are exporting their data at once, so now exporting your data costs extra.

Ohhhhnoooo, really? Crap!

Maybe it’stime to make it be associated even more with good people then!
