  • No one is saying not film your kids, its more about the sharing of said films online to public forms.

    Sending a embarassing video grandpa is one thing, but posting it for the whole internet to see is just a breach of privacy. Strangers to the child, aunts, and schoolmates don’t really needs to watch little Billy public meltdown, Sally slipping into the pool, or a public review of Jonny’s report card and his punishment.

    There’s espessially creepy ones too, I’m sure you could find things along the vien of “having the talk with Billy” or “Sally shopping for feminine products for the first time” if you looked. There are moments that simply should not be recorded. Those “family vlog” channels are some of the worst offenders.

    We spend all our efforts telling kids not post pictures of themselves online or share too much personal information, yet today’s 15-20 year olds are finding pretty much their entire life catologed publicly on Facebook by other people,

    Having that “life catolog” is cool, but the fact its publicly avalible to anyone is the creepy part.

    We advocate for a child’s right to their online privacy. Let them to be the ones who choose what is and is not available for the world to see.









  • “Alarm Clock for Heavy Sleepers” also known as AMDroid Alarm clock.

    Yes it can shuffle music.

    Downsides; Not FoSS and not free, however it is a cheap one time purchase, no subscriptions. free version ads are just unobtrusive banners. I have Netgaurd blocking WiFi and cell with no issues.

    Features: (no idea what’s paid and not)

    • Incredibly customizable, I never knew there could be so many alarm options - but there are.
    • you can make different alarm profiles, so you only have to set up each “type” of alarm you want once. From there, you just set a time and pick a profile with your settings. Everything from this point on is profile specific.
    • pick any sounds on device (or a folder for random picks), set volume, vibrate, ingnore do not disturb, ignore headphones plugged in, etc.
    • Calandar integration. If you have a schedule that varies, you can set it up to follow that instead of set-days and times.
    • One time skip and one time adjust buttons. Need to wake up an hour early one day, got tomorrow off? Just use these to make the adjustment, next day the alarm will back to normal.
    • optional post alarm “are you awake?” notifications. Dismiss the alarm but fell back asleep? After a few minutes (user set time) it will ask if your awake. With no response, after some time the alarm will go again. (With a different sound or volume if you like)
    • snooze timmer can decrease each time you use it. First snooze 10 min, next is 8, then 6 and so on.
    • various optional challenges that I don’t use. Easy things like type out this text, to the WiFi signal must be higher than X (go stand next your router to shut off alarm).
    • location based settings - for example, morning alarms only go off at hone, break alarms only go off at work.
    • the list continues for some time, but I’ll stop here.
