There is generally no such consent required in public in most countries
Not when one is a part of a crowd, but when the focus is directly on someone, consent should be asked.

Even if the LED is visible, is this enough to consider it consensual?
No. That would mean everyone in the world would have to be up-to-date with technological “advances”, and that everyone would have the assertiveness to explicitly deny someone’s attempt at filming / uphold their right to privacy. Not everyone is up-to-date, and definitely not everyone has the assertiveness, nor is there an equal balance of power between two parties. E.g., I know for sure that a lot of elder people walking in the forest would like to speak up to younger obnoxiously loud morons, but they don’t because they know many people are too weak/underdeveloped/self-centered to handle criticism well, and therefore they remain silent out of fear for being physically assaulted.


when the man’s team loses a sports game
I’ve never understood why so many people are so goddamn obsessed with sports teams*. Even highly educated otherwise bright people. I enjoy playing soccer, or many other sports, but I don’t care in the slightest which team wins or loses in these big competitions. Though, as a former LoL player I watched tournaments too and had a preference for underdogs, and competed myself in a CS 1.6 clan, but at the end of the day sportsmanship and witnessing satisfying gameplay is what mattered the most, regardless of which team.
*The folly of pride
“Winning necessarily comes down to luck or the defeat of an inferior. Both are nothing to be proud of. Therefore, we should not compete for the sake of being better than others, but only to improve ourselves and help others do the same.” ―https://www.arscyni.cc/file/pride.html
Perfect example. This person has systemd so much on the brain I actually tagged them as weirdly against systemd some time ago. lol
“This person plays volleyball, he must hate basketball so much.”
What’s systemd? (I use OpenRC btw.)
That’s actually a very good point. Glasses such as these could indeed be used preventively as shitty behavior dash cams.
