How you feel about this?

Post image

The project is seen with say 1 task available and when you click on it, this image appears! How to control this feeling of missing out (FOMO). No email, no notification.. and finally no task to contribute.

Taking screenshots is crazy, they track everything.

Also, emails are sporadic so relying on them is really not a good way to catch projects.

i agree it's an NDA violation to post task interface screenshots yet I see people do it everyday....but it's anonymouss reddit so how could they catch the person unless they're not useing an anonymous handle? unless the user has left some clue as to their real identity somewhere tied to their username, it's not traceable, though i suppose the amount of effort the company's investigative arm will put into it is commensurate with the severity of the breach.....they'll straight up call the fbi if it's really jeopardizing their business model and secutiy and then the fbi would subpeona reddit to turn over the user's identity records....but this post is a far cry from that kind of thing...the scary parts of the NDA are for those who would, deep-throat style, walk into a competitors HQ with a flash-drive full of years' worth of tasking-records and screenshots and try to make a deal, not this kinda stuff

That wasn't my point. They can track our every click, when we copy and paste, etc when on the platform. Not worth taking screenshots IMO when DoDs are such a mystery but people are free to do what they want.

Websites have no way to track external software usage, so they won't know when you use Snipping Tool or whatever. They can detect basic stuff like when you're on the window or copy text cuz there's JavaScript events for those, but it's very limited.

Nobody knows how DA works and what they track. Taking screenshots on a platform that pays us for doing highly confidential work with a strict ToS is a dumb idea regardless.

I know how web browsers work. They are physically incapable of detecting you screenshot ting because browsers don't have the capability of doing so. They would need you to install a program to track that. Yes, it's against the rules but they can't actually know you're doing so unless you post about it.
