#Activity Tracking

Slowly inching back outside after a crash

I’ve done really well at starting to pull myself out of a pretty deep two-ish month long ME/CFS crash, not that I’m completely out of it by a long chalk but I want to be able to take pause to appreciate where I have got to considering how long and deep a crash can be (and the many months of overexertion that had lead up to this one, risking that it might take just as long to get out of). Also, a…

The Evolution of Employee Monitoring: What to Expect in 2025

As workplaces continue to evolve, so do the tools and strategies businesses use to ensure productivity and security. Employee monitoring has dramatically changed over time, transforming from very primitive systems to advanced ones based on technology. So, what would be the case in 2025? Let’s look into the trends, innovation, and challenges molding employee monitoring in the future.

What has brought about a change in employee monitoring?

The journey of employee monitoring has always been coupled with the advances of technology and changing dynamics at work. Business activities were based on manual monitoring like punch cards and supervision by a supervisor. Advances in the internet and digital tools created more developed forms of monitoring such as keystroke tracking and email monitoring.

The rise of remote work and hybrid models has further pushed the demand for innovative monitoring solutions in recent years. Businesses have to ensure that their employees are productive, secure, and aligned with organizational goals, irrespective of location. This has led to the integration of AI-driven tools and behavior analytics into monitoring systems, ensuring not just oversight but also actionable insights.

How do modern monitoring tools change the game?

Today’s monitoring systems are nothing like those used in the past. The following are some of the defining features of modern tools:

Real-time Insights: Tools now give real-time updates on the activities of employees, enabling businesses to make data-driven decisions.

Behavior Analytics: The system does not only track time but also analyses work patterns to show trends in productivity and areas of improvement.

Privacy-conscious Design: With growing concerns about employee privacy, monitoring tools are increasingly designed to respect boundaries while still delivering results.

Integration with Workflows: Modern systems seamlessly integrate with project management and collaboration tools, ensuring monitoring enhances productivity without becoming intrusive.

What role will AI play in 2025?

Artificial intelligence is set to play a transformative role in employee monitoring by:

AI will predict historical patterns for employee performance in order to help management take proactive steps.

Enhancing security: AI can help prevent data breaches by tracking unusual behavior patterns and ensuring compliance.

Tailoring insights: AI will give recommendations to each employee to optimize their work habits better.

Eliminating bias: Automated analysis will help in the evaluation process, especially reducing subjective evaluation; therefore, ensuring more fair evaluations.

How can businesses monitor ethically?

As monitoring tools become more powerful, business concerns are ethical in nature. Balancing oversight with employee autonomy is key. Key strategies include:

Transparency in policies: Explain what is being monitored and why.

Employee consent: Involve employees in the discussions on monitoring tools to build trust.

Focus on outcomes: Use monitoring to improve productivity and security, not to micromanage.

Regular reviews: Continuously evaluate the effectiveness and fairness of monitoring practices.

How should businesses prepare for the future?

Real-Time Employee Monitoring: How Instant Insights are Changing the Workplace

Invest in Training: Prepare managers and employees to effectively use and understand monitoring tools.

Adopt Scalable Solutions: Choose systems that can scale to changing business needs.

Prioritize Security: Make sure there are strong cybersecurity measures to protect sensitive employee data.

Create a Positive Culture: Make monitoring something employees see as a tool for growth, not control.

What will employee monitoring look like in the future?

Employee monitoring is likely to be more personalized, predictive, and part of daily workflows in 2025. As AI technology advances, organizations can expect more than just tracking activity; they will see improvements in employee well-being and organizational efficiency. The bottom line is how these technologies will be implemented responsibly, benefiting employers and employees alike.

It is only through embracing the human-centric approach in the evolution of monitoring systems that businesses can successfully navigate the complexities of the modern workplace to achieve sustainable success.

Dr. Husband Harvey getting used to the farm tasks 🐄🐓💖 I think he'd reasonably be scared of chickens at first, I wouldn't underestimate those dinosaurs either!

For @dragonstorytelling who prompted helping with farm chores, like feeding the chickens and cows. I've never drawn a cow before, cool idea! Speedpaint below.

Please remember to REBLOG, it's the chicken feed for artists 🐓🥚🥚🥚

Was recently reminded by my friend @teeg of just how much info Facebook collects to track you, and I want to share how to make that harder for them with the rest of you.

If you still have facebook/can't get rid of it (for any reason- we're not here to judge today) then you're going to want to clear your off-Meta activity.

You read that right, Meta tracks what you do off it's apps as well. It tracks other apps and websites that you use- whether you connected them to Facebook or not, AND places you visit IRL and when you visited. This includes not just stores and other businesses, but also allegedly includes hotels, schools and hospital/doctors offices. (I'm unfortunately unable to confirm the last three for myself as I didn't look closely at mine before deleting- and it's been years since I've graduated or stayed at a hotel, and months since I've been to a doctor. If anyone cares to confirm in the notes I'll update this post.)

This post will show you how to clear your off-Meta activity. (You'll also want to toggle off Ads data permissions, but I'll make another post about that later.)

First, go to your Profile Icon, then to Settings and Privacy to get to your Settings.

Once in Settings you're going to click See more in Accounts Center. On desktop it should be in a box on the upper-left of the page.

Once in Accounts Center you're going to click Your information and permissions, then Your activity off Meta technologies at the bottom of that window.

Once in the Your activity off Meta technologies window you're going to notice at the bottom three buttons, Disconnect specific activity, Clear previous activity, and Manage future activity.

You're going to want to first clear your previous activity and disconnect future activity. This will also automatically clear any activity that would be under the Disconnect specific activity tab, as it's just for picking and choosing what activity to delete.

An added benefit to this is that it will also clear out some of the data Meta uses for its AI programs- not all, but hey- that's something.

Also, even if you can't delete your Facebook account, I urge you to please delete/uninstall the app from your phone as that's the #1 best way to keep it from tracking you everywhere you go IRL and online. That said, if you delete no other Meta app from your phone- make sure to delete FB messenger- it's literally the worst one, but that's another post, which I'll hopefully get to after the FB ads one I promised above.

Stay safe out there, and remember- fuck Facebook.

Brain retraining or symptom tracking…but don’t they pull in opposite directions?

Remember the Gupta Program? It was my new favourite thing back in 2021 and I wrote a fair bit about it at the time. To recap, the GP is a brain retraining program which claims to help you recover from conditions such as ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, long covid and electro hypersensitivity. I deep-dived the program for quite a few months and, eventually, let it go which could be concluded to mean that I…

Why Wealthy People Often Drive Cheaper Cars—And Why You Should Consider It Too

However, some of the wealthiest individuals don’t drive extravagant vehicles. In fact, they often prefer practical, inexpensive cars. Why is that? And why might it be a smart choice for you as well? Let’s dive into this fascinating topic that could…

People try too hard to make Curly an active participant in Jimmy's abuse. Isn't the whole point that he's passive in everything Jimmy does? Abuse occurs because he actively doesn't do anything? Not to call someone out or be mean, but I saw a post saying Anya's ID being in Curly's locker at the beginning shows that he intended to prevent Anya from filing an HR report and I disagree. I get where that interpretation is coming from, but I think it's a little uncharitable. I don't like being too kind to Curly because he's like...a morally mid dude at best lol But if we're going by the HR report interpretation, I would say it's more likely he requested Anya's ID in order to file an HR report on her behalf. After all, the only way to contact Pony (that we see) is in the cockpit, he's the Captain, and Pony Express sucks bad so I wouldn't put it past them to only allow the Captain to use the communication device thing. As we see before, Curly is the only one able to use tools around the ship that you would think other employees could use (ex. Swansea should be able to use the axe if he's the repair guy. Idk why they'd need an ax but that falls under manual labor which Swansea is designated for as the mechanic/fixer dude. But it has to go through Curly). I never got the vibe that Curly moved to actively protect Jimmy. He just lets things happen without say a word; Jimmy walks all over him, and by extension, the whole crew. I get why people would think that because he gives the whole "Hey Jimmy, we can get through this together, bud" spiel right before the crash. This part interests me a lot because there's so many ways to interpret Curly's intentions there. My interpretation is that Curly is on autopilot mode. The responses seem so stilted in comparison to Jimmy's. Like it's the kind of thing Curly's said before again and again and again when Jimmy's gotten in trouble. However, as others previously pointed out, I don't think Curly ever dealt with Jimmy doing something this irredeemable. He doesn't know how to respond, so he just goes for the default "You've gotten through tough situations before. Work through it one step at a time." Like the response is lame af lol I think he was in shock; he was scared (and just so I can say it one more time: he's super lame).

Anyway, this is way longer than I intended and I've said things a billion people have already stated. But uhhh tldr the whole point of Curly's character is he's passive; he never acts. He just watches. Making him an active participant in the abuse by taking actions to cover for Jimmy (like preventing Anya from filing an HR report) defeats the purpose of his character. He's a bystander.
