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!

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?

[–] Krudler@lemmy.world -5 points 6 months ago (2 children)

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?

[–] ComradeMiao@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 6 months ago

It’s literally on the news… idk why I was doubted

[–] ComradeMiao@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 6 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

With an NVR most of them can run fully offline.

[–] ComradeMiao@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 months ago

Yeah amcrest pings for config. They’re blocked

[–] koper@feddit.nl -1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] ComradeMiao@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They’re months old, fuck off telling me that’s helicopter parenting. Don’t comment when you literally don’t know

[–] koper@feddit.nl 1 points 6 months ago

That's obviously not what this article is about. Notice how I said "above a certain age"?

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Ok_imagination@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

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

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

"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.
