Yeah, they usually do that. Remember things like the gazillion Microsoft365 variants and every single .NET offering out there.
> (...) Windows 11 is full of ads, and you can't even search the Start menu for your installed programs anymore
Windows has always been weird like that. Relevant HN post from a few days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49599481
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.
Dark mode? God finally
Edit: and PWA support! Woohoo!
And five engineers reviewing 20 thousand LoCs would get the job done in ten days, but both numbers are just as BS when it comes to actually understanding the codebase. No one is comprehensively reading 5k lines per day for a month straight.
I think the issue is that the parallax is choppy in your page. For whatever it's worth, I typically don't care much about parallax in itself but I thought the same thing about the scrolling not being smooth.
Sounds like bandaids on top of bandaids, at which point you start to wonder if the idea is fundamentally broken.
Yeah, because we'd hate to allow people from poor countries to contribute to FOSS projects, right?
Or teenagers without full access to online banking.
Or the unemployed.
"We're sorry we got caught"
While I'm sure the US has its quirks, this is not a US-only "problem" (not a health expert so I'm not sure if it's even a problem to begin with).
I live in Norway and have heard from lots of people (coworkers, friends, acquaintances) that doctors are very reluctant to prescribing anything at all - the running joke is that they'll advise you to "get some fresh air and go for a walk" even if you just broke your leg in half
Do you use this when running tmux remotely?
(I only run it in my own machines so it never runs as root anyway)
I love me a good drop cap, but you're right in that this example is not good.
Also much more dangerous, right? Since you're spending so much time on the road.
TIL that the Xperia line is still alive and kicking. Sweet phones!
