Code reviewed by WIRED uncovered an unreleased face-recognition system embedded in Meta’s smart glasses platform. It’s designed to identify people via biometric data stored on users’ phones.
Ok that’s fair. I’ve just never heard of glasses referred to as prosthetics and assumed you meant some kind of artificial seeing device. Which is suppose is what glasses are but I was hoping for a more high tech answer.
Real question: do other lemmy viewers not show usernames on posts or do a lot of people just not read them? Cause I’ve deffo had other instances of people not realizing they were talking to someone else.
I use sync and it doesn’t show the username while you are writing a comment. So I might not notice unless I look closely at the notification or at my inbox.
Sorry - she has keratoconus. Her prosthetics are essentially large, hard contact lenses, filled with saline solution, effectively reshaping her corneas. Also called sclerals.
TBH, I’m also not sure what they meant. The only visual prostheses I know of are things like glass eyes. Maybe “prosthesis” is their term for eyeglasses or contact lenses?
What do you mean she is blind without her prosthetics? Isn’t she still blind with the prosthetics or do they help with vision somehow?
Glasses to help see are prosthetics. People can be legally blind when not wearing their corrective lenses.
I’m one of those people. Close to being legally blind if I have no glasses or contacts on. My dad is legally blind without corrective lenses.

(the account you just replied to isn’t the account with the blind wife who uses prosthetics)
Oh wow maybe I need prosthetics too
While this is correct, I AM, in fact, someone who wears glasses and knows some stuff about them and their uses.
Yep, no shade on you, I just didn’t want the other person to think they’d heard back from the other other person.

I think folks just don’t read them. I use Connect and it shows usernames.

edit: or there are neat things that integrate into your brain to give you sight. So maybe one of those?
