#12I use Automatic Screenshotter on my work pc to capture a screenshot every 15 seconds. I currently keep about a year of screenshots.
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's every a question about billable hours.
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'm nose down developing, it's relatively neat.
edit: I'm not revealing this to the world. But I'm not afraid of higher-ups coming across this. I work pretty damn hard.

#13I'm going to flag this (hopefully that's the same as report)?
It's pretty irresponsible to publish this if you haven't:
a) Checked ALL the screenshots yourself
b) got permission for all the PII (names, mobile numbers) of everyone in your screenshot.
Should be removed until such time as that's established.

#14What is being censored?

#15Heads up, some of these are NSFW!
Scrolling screenshots of code/Youtube then boom, naked guy.

#16After two screen-scrolls I was not comfortable that the author could have obtained consent for all of the captures. Did they?
I don't think this is appropriate for HN honestly, it's probably not legal in most jurisdictions. Viewing it could be a crime.

#17I 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.
These kind of things can have real consequences.

#18I'm interested in the scrollable timeline code.
I also used to do this with a cronjob every minute or so.

I noticed that even with NSFW content not hidden, some posts were still censored. Hopefully that means all content was reviewed prior to release, with proper permissions obtained.
