Saving a click: the industry is “child surveillance“.

Yeah, it’s as creepy as it sounds.

    I’m not going against your point but telling an insane story. A friend of mine in California caught their nanny literally throwing and beating the crap out of their infant. When approach they ran back to their country. I’m sure there’s nothing they can do now. I would never even imagine this could happen!

    Funny but I think your friend is a bit of a liar. Neat hey.

    Get normal IP cameras and problem solved.

    Still gotta block them at the firewall in case they are phoning home. Caught some of mine doing that

    It doesn't. Self-hosted open source surveillance is still surveillance. Constantly monitoring your children (above a certain age) is still helicopter parenting.

    If a slightly older person would migrate to GNU / Linux from a suggestion that it is more private. A young person, who underwent surveillance parenting, will most likely not give a damn.

    Decent read. Some things I'll have to consider when my kids are old enough.

    "Apocalyptically terrible" - wow I wish they wouldn't soft-pedal it like that.

    Off topic: the design of this site is very confusing. Each section with its heading and text body as a separate card, with the heading in the same color as links are. It makes it look like each card is a summary of a separate blog post or article. Also with the way the background image is static like that.

    Need to rethink that design from a reading perspective.
