This is not a lie. This is a shorthand to quickly convey a meaningful feature. Namely, no algorithmic timeline manipulating what you see.

It’s just that, a timeline.

Next you’ll be telling me that calling something “cool” is a lie, because that new T-shirt doesn’t have a low temperature.

a timeline is an algorithm?

Wait until people start gaming the timeline based algorithm by deleting and re-posting images, so they stay at the top slot.

When does "no algorithm" become an algorithm? When you add ML?

In the common language used these days, "the algorithm" refers to the sorting/reranking companies like Facebook and now Twitter do to attempt to show you posts you're most likely to engage with. I think the vast majority of people reading that Glass has "no algorithm" will understand this.

But it is - sorting by timestamp is certainly an algorithm.

In a world where people nitpick each other to death, sure. Meanwhile, in the real world, language has meaning beyond the literal expression.

And I'm willing to put money on the fact that their target audience understands perfectly what "no algorithm" means. Heck, even the people complaining know what it means, they just like being right.
