This is part of a social experiment on radical transparency, of which I am the guinea pig.

I immediately got a browser popup from the site to install an esoteric "Kai Elvin" app (classy) but not before I got to see a thumbnail of a naked guy shaving, private bits barely covered by a bathroom sink (even more classy).

I&#x27;m going to flag this (hopefully that&#x27;s the same as report)?<p>It&#x27;s pretty irresponsible to publish this if you haven&#x27;t:<p>a) Checked ALL the screenshots yourself<p>b) got permission for all the PII (names, mobile numbers) of everyone in your screenshot.<p>Should be removed until such time as that&#x27;s established.

I use Automatic Screenshotter on my work pc to capture a screenshot every 15 seconds. I currently keep about a year of screenshots.<p>We do a lot of consulting and I move between clients many times a day. So I keep the screenshots to be sure we are billing correctly. And also it comes in handy if there&#x27;s every a question about billable hours.<p>I thought it would be fun to make movies out of it, but it only becomes interesting when I work on one thing for extended periods of time. I just move between windows far to often for interesting videos. But when I&#x27;m nose down developing, it&#x27;s relatively neat.<p>edit: I&#x27;m not revealing this to the world. But I&#x27;m not afraid of higher-ups coming across this. I work pretty damn hard.

Heads up, some of these are NSFW!<p>Scrolling screenshots of code&#x2F;Youtube then boom, naked guy.

For many years I had a cronjob configured to take a full screenshot once an hour during business hours on my office workstation. Nearly 20k in total, before I left that position. I still have them. It&#x27;s sometimes quite amusing to scroll through the old ones and gawk at how things were and how I did things 10+ years ago.

I think that this is an interisting idea and in general I welcome it that you shared this. However, based on the quick look I just had I doubt that you asked for permission to publish these from all the persons present in the pictures.<p>These kind of things can have real consequences.

I&#x27;m interested in the scrollable timeline code. I also used to do this with a cronjob every minute or so.

After two screen-scrolls I was not comfortable that the author could have obtained consent for all of the captures. Did they?<p>I don&#x27;t think this is appropriate for HN honestly, it&#x27;s probably not legal in most jurisdictions. Viewing it could be a crime.

This is not the &quot;transparency&quot; we want or we need.

huh? I don&#x27;t get the concept. What is the benefit of revealing yourself like this to the world?

What is being censored?
