“Most common” (i.e. statistical mode) is often such a misleading thing to pay attention to because it’s so sensitive to how the person doing the study chooses to group things. For example, also on the Steam Hardware Survey, it looks like Arch is more popular than Ubuntu, but that’s because Arch (being a rolling release) is only one entry, while Ubuntu is separated out into versions.

Similarly, “16GB is most common” is easily confused with “most people have 16GB,” which is very much not true. It’s just that the majority, which is less than 16GB, is divided between people with 4, 8, 12, etc.

The struggle is real.

I didn’t want to give the appearance of shilling. But if you want to know, it’s https://www.zennioptical.com/id-guard

There are apparently also similar products from “Reflectacles” and “Vaydr,” but they were more expensive and/or not normal prescription glasses. The Zenni thing is just an extra coating you can add on to the glasses you would have otherwise bought anyway (which is how I found out about it; I didn’t know it existed beforehand).

Meanwhile, I recently got new prescription glasses (after wearing my previous pairs for way too long, BTW) and got some that have an IR-blocking coating that’s supposed to block face recognition cameras. Because that apparently needs to be a thing these days.

(I’m disappointed that these DuckDuckGo glasses don’t have a similar special coating. I like the company I got mine from, but I’d like to see more companies offering privacy-enhancing tech.)

I’ve had people get mad at me when I state the comparison that plainly (because they think I’m making light of SA or something, IDK), but yes.

Microsoft doesn’t understand consent. Everyone ought to stop accepting its abuse and kick Windows to the curb as a matter of basic self-respect.
