Yeah, they usually do that. Remember things like the gazillion Microsoft365 variants and every single .NET offering out there.

I use Junie at work and I have to say I'm not amazed by it. Plus I cannot run it inside an Alpine Linux VM which is annoying as all the other agents I tried worked just fine.

I ran into a government site that not only was aware of the devtools being open, but also stopped virtually all user actions if it did. And it worked quite well- to bypass it, I had to block the detection script from loading altogether since merely removing the event listener didn't work.

I think that changed around the time COVID hit and offer was highly surpassed by demand. Lots of overhiring during those days.

As someone from South America I find it interesting that people born and raised in developed countries would think that phone-snatching detection is a bogeyman feature. Over there it's a given that your belongings can stop being yours at any given moment just 'cause.

When people interact with spouses and coworkers, it's still human-to-human interaction. There is a person on the other end. Not quite the same when your head doctor, DJ, gym coach, and nutritionist are the same sycophant machine who's eager to let you know how absolutely right you are.

Wouldn't you solve the space allocation issue by using a symbolic link?

Sorry if it's a dumb question - I'm just getting into sandboxing for the first time myself and ran into this same thought before.

You hit the nail in the head.

Those who say stuff like "nobody makes me feel integrated" would also very much struggle to befriend people in their own country if they got dropped anywhere else other than their home cities away from friends and family.

Making new friends after school is hard, no matter where in the world.

You'd be surprised at the lengths some will go to avoid learning a new language.

I've met people who have lived over 20y in a country while working, having and raising kids there and still can't have a half decent basic conversation in the local language.

There is always an excuse: too much work, too little time, too tired or you name it, but the end result is that they are inconveniencing themselves.

Not saying it is OP's case, just some anecdotal obserevations.

Programs, configs and "other bits" are the trivial parts that no one should care about. It takes about 5min to go from fresh install to near-fully-configured.

Even the hardware itself doesn't matter that much, in the end it's all provided by your employer.

Leaking session tokens or secrets, on the other hand...

Are you using something like Bubblewrap/Firejail/Flatpak, or what does such a setup look like? I've been entertaining a similar idea for a while but haven't gotten to it

The LinkedIn Kool-Aid predates the advent of LLMs though.
