So what? Like I said it does not hurt to define but at the same time if you don’t know what NVR stands for, Frigate is not for you. It’s like reading an equity research paper and complaining EPS is not defined. Some things just don’t need to be defined and if you don’t know, you most likely are not the target audience.

You’ve really taken a mild disagreement and spun it into some moral crusade against user inclusivity. No one is “alienating” users or acting out of “contempt”… I made a simple point that, for a niche technical project like Frigate, it’s reasonable to assume some baseline domain knowledge.

If someone doesn’t know what an NVR is, they’re likely not ready to deploy a self-hosted AI-powered video surveillance system. That’s not exclusionary and it’s just reality. Let’s not pretend a missing acronym definition is the same as slamming a door in someone’s face.

I am sorry expressing an opinion offended you.
