here it's minimum two months notice by law, usually three by contract, increasing by one month per every five years. and you can basically only get fired for actively sabotaging business, doing illegal shit, or if there legitimately is nothing for you to do. and they still have to pay you for the entire time. like, i worked at a company that went bankrupt and after the estate or whatever it's called ran out of cash, the state paid out the final month.
I work with governmental organisations and heavy industry. spotty internet, data privacy, changing laws, cleanroom areas, IT audits, travel to places with less savoury governments, telemetry that shouldn't be stored but is due to some flag someone forgot, takeover of the server, ulterior motives, you name it. needing a network connection means it has to be assumed compromised, and short of letting my IT dept host its own version, you can't convince me otherwise. I need to be able to 1) sync data only when on a verified safe network, and 2) trust the server that data goes to and from.
when it comes to what something could be used for... are you doing market research, or basic research? building a tool usually means you have a need for that tool. If you're trying to market something, do a proper test with a control group. just going "i made a thing, i don't know what it's good for" isn't going to pull in crowds, especially if there is a barrier such as account creation to actually use the thing.
Edit:
also, your page is missing basic accessibility features. all the links are
Fully expecting flak for this, but Uwe Boll's Postal. It's a gross, idiotic movie with awful taste, and it's not so much that it hasn't aged well, it's more that it was made awful on purpose. that's also what makes it perfect for schlock movie night.
if you've played any of the Postal games, you know what to expect in terms of tone. if you haven't: GOOD. Don't.
from the overview i can't really tell what it is, although it sounds like onenote, which i've never really gotten along with. also yeah, the online requirement thing means it's not suitable for secure work.
i had such a bad experience with 7, it was horribly unstable on a computer that had handled vista just fine. i switched to 8 as soon as i could and was better off for it.
the trademark got bought. it's still FLOSS, and they pledged to keep it that way, for whatever that's worth. code can't be retroactively un-gpled, so if they did decide to close it down they couldn't just take it offline, only do new development in private. the big fishy thing was that they added a CLA to their repo, which only affects developers. as an end-user you're fine.
also, the "crap" was a draft proposal of opt-in telemetry, which was subsequently scrapped. the company in question is based in the EU, anyway, so they would have to abide by the gdpr for any collected information.
is the metaphor of the little devil on your shoulder falling out of fashion? not aimed at you personally, your comment just made me wonder if it's starting to become less known in general.
i don't even understand why it's worth discussing in the first place. "can autocomplete feel?" "should compilers form unions?" "should i let numpy rest on weekends?"
wake me up when what the marketers call "ai" becomes more than just matrix multiplication in a loop.
man you guys need unions

flipside: it goes the other way too.
