I think these were derived using old facial rec tech. Newer stuff defeats the awesome makeup of the cyberpunk future.

It appears there are newer looks (some of which are featured in the image above) which worked in early 2023.

There's always a good ole' covid face mask, sunglasses and a hat too, I would think, no?

I also just read that there are "IR reflective sunglasses" that do this:

While I go about in public similarly to this because I just hate tracking, in certain situations or places obscuring your face with a mask may be illegal.

Also neat sunnies. For a while I've wanted to make a necklace with IR LEDs to just blast out cameras. Never considered reflective stuff for privacy. Obviously this makes you highly visible on cameras, but it's a great tool for privacy from machines and mass surveillance.

True, but AFAIK that only applies to a few counties (counties? is that what they're called?) in USA that are either full of anti-vaxx shitstains or just hate the Palestine protesters.

I could be wrong but that's the only time I've heard that confirmed.

Where are you referring to? You should be wearing a mask for Covid anyway.

https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/covid-19/Documents/respiratory-surveillance-20240928.pdf pretty low levels rn mortality in normal ranges. In urban centers you probably should, but that's also true in a world without sars-2.

Why do you trust the state line on Covid? I am too tired of constantly fighting minimization as a medically vulnerable person to have energy to argue this point much farther, but I have a critical eye on the same institutions that went against the then-known science and claimed that children weren’t affected by it, also claiming for years that it spread via water droplets and fomites (not aerosols)…etcetera etcetera. The science is and has been very, very clear on mortality, comorbidity, the nature of the virus and the means of prevention — means of prevention we have decided not to follow and have not followed for years, while a highly novel virus which we know to mutate rapidly to evade immunity was not eliminated. I am not interested in what state-provided graphs have to say when every western state has done all in their power to prevent reporting on or having anything to do with the virus.

Would you be able to elaborate on this? What do you mean
