<.< I mean, you’re as disallowed to stick you’re face in those places just as much as you’re disallowed to stick a camera. This feels like a “think of the children” argument.

If I stick my phone in my shirt pocket, I can record and live stream it, how is the camera being mounted to my head any different?

Like, I get it. People are assholes, and I 100% agree that is the case. But assholes have been recording themselves doing asshole things for decades, this isn’t new behavior, and it feels like its being used to vilify tech for existing.

Honestly, I am not effected by the decisions in any way, the issue I take is with the extremely vague wording, the fact that these two changes were made rather rapidly and seemingly just because they don’t like that type of project.

What is the next project that harms their reputation? A torrenting application? An emulation application? Anything written in php?

We wouldn’t and don’t take kindly to corpos using this kind of stuff, why would it be different here?

This is arguably a worse situation then. They aren’t naming crypto as banned, they are naming a vague hand wave as banned. Literally anything can be interpreted as harming Codebergs reputation. Hell, is reputation defined, or is that something that can be decided on the fly? “Our reputation as an anti emulation company is being harmed so we have banned all emulator projects.”

This is the kind of vague shit we get mad at corpos for, don’t give them a thumbs up for the exact same behavior.

True AR? Absolutely not a bad idea, are you kidding me?

Take out the ability to record stealthily and they’re a great idea. Overlay art on walls, place monitors in your real space, do work on a laptop with the screen off, put directions in the actual world so you’re not looking at a screen, and that just what I can think of off the top of my head.

Don’t let the tech conglomerates ruin an amazing tech concept.

How does one confirm something they have no way of knowing with certainty?…
