Saving a click: the industry is “child surveillance“.
Yeah, it’s as creepy as it sounds.
Tell me, how many nannies shake their babies? You know, a good hard shake, like, like tryin' to get ketchup out of a bottle. One percent? Less?
Funny, that. They sell a billion dollars worth of that shit worldwide. Goes to show you, doesn't it? The bollocks people will believe if you get them scared enough.
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!
I think that's Survivorship Bias, but I didn't read too closely after the 'litchally'.
Survivorship bias about a friend’s child being beaten..? What?
Funny but I think your friend is a bit of a liar. Neat hey.
It’s on the news with hundreds of videos recorded
Why would I make that up? This isn’t Reddit with karma
Edit: okay I see you just challenge everyone in your comments
You find that story hard to believe?
It’s literally on the news… idk why I was doubted
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
With an NVR most of them can run fully offline.
Yeah amcrest pings for config. They’re blocked
It doesn't. Self-hosted open source surveillance is still surveillance. Constantly monitoring your children (above a certain age) is still helicopter parenting.
They’re months old, fuck off telling me that’s helicopter parenting. Don’t comment when you literally don’t know
That's obviously not what this article is about. Notice how I said "above a certain age"?
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.

It's okay to leave the space in the middle.
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.
