Re:LinkedIn Is Illegally Searching Your Computer on Thursday April 02, 2026 @12:45PM (#47616842)
Is there evidence that they use that information for anything other than browser fingerprinting or fraud detection?

That seems like the most obvious use case? Or maybe I missed something in the write up.

Re:Show HN: Coasts – Containerized Hosts for Agents on Monday March 30, 2026 @12:00PM (#47575970)
This is pretty cool, have personally felt this limitation many a time.

Basically been relying on spinning up cursor / niteshift / devin workflows since they have their own containers but this could be interesting to keep it all on your main machine.

I'm curious how common this is or if this just affects this one user.
Yeah, this is exactly what I was thinking.

Maybe they’ll add the ability to sandbox the env variables from the agent’s bash execution via the Agent SDK settings at some point.
