Upwork Freelancers Who Want Guaranteed Pay Have to Opt in to Tracking Software

Run the tracker in a virtual machine running locally. Run your “work” apps in that vm.

This is so stupid.

This is what I was planning to do when I landed my client but they trust me and enabled the option to log "manual hours".

I don't trust UpWork anymore than I trust PayPal so as far "guaranteed" hours are concerned it doesn't matter - I withdraw my funds every week.

But couldn't the tracker become self-aware and realize it's living inside a similulation?
