That's existed for over a decade at least, I remember when I was an idiot teen I tried doing contract work through odesk and they have this software you run on your computer that takes screenshots of what you're doing every minute or so and if you weren't doing work you could turn it off or delete the screenshot but then not get paid for that minute, I'm kinda surprised that sort of thing isn't everywhere by now. I guess it didn't take pictures of you at your actual desk but iirc they either added that or it was some kind of option you could enable or something.

They've had USB and downloadable mouse jigglers for years that keep your computer from going to sleep. IIRC they were originally developed by law enforcement to keep seized computers from going to sleep, but have now made it into the private sector for use by people who are penalized when their screen goes to sleep.

I worked as an """independent contractor""" once as well with this kind of software being required. They registered mouse clicks and keystrokes as well to make sure. It did make me way more productive, but I'm pretty sure it would have the opposite effect in my current non-menial job. Also you bet I clicked a bunch of times on nothing to make the number go up. It was kind of neat to see your stats though.

We used them to keep test lab computers awake so automated testing could run at any time. For some reason our system couldn't wake the computer for a test execution.

I know people in software development and they have something like this for working at home. If you’re mouse doesn’t move at least once per minute you’ll get a call from your manager asking what happened. People have to explain they went for cup of tea or to use the toilet. Smart ones just use programs to simulate mouse movements.

Software that takes a screenshot every X minutes is depressingly standard now, I'm surprised at how surprised y'all are. Also yeah timeouts (and automatic clock-outs) are even more so. Can't even take a leisurely poo poo (or, you know, read something that isn't on your computer screen) on company dime anymore

I have a lot of problems with the culture of universities as public institutions but I do appreciate that they would never countenance the imposition of that kind of software on their white collar staff because there'd be a revolt of course, they don't give a gently caress about anyone else, and abuse adjuncts and contractors just like the private sector, but at least i can fart around on my laptop without fear of reprisal

I'm gobsmacked by this massive condo development in my home town. (every tower pictured below) This is a former swamp turned landfill between a giant freeway and river. The settling issues will be impressive, assuming it isn't all swept away in a flood. And they're not even removing the dump from the area, just moving it a few blocks. $1,000 per square foot at least. Get your tent ready for the pre-sale event.

Wonder were few brown envelopes of cash to the local council involved in getting that approved. Where I grow up was full of flood plains that inspectors wouldn’t let be built on. Then the boom happened, developers handed some brown envelopes to local councilors to get the land rezoned or signed off on so they could build estates to sell. Sold them all and regular as clockwork they flood almost every year. The the crash happened and people got stuck with their insecure homes.

They didn't even need to hide developer bribes in Vancouver until recently. My local mayor had like 100x more donations than his competitors, all from developers. Then a couple years ago they finally banned this practice and literally every long term mayor quit. About a dozen dudes who had been mayor for 10+ years all quit after the ruling. (Metro Vancouver has like 20 separate mayors, long story) Coincidentally metro Vancouver is closer to NYC/Toronto/Chicago in tower count than cities its size like Portland Oregon.
