Fucking ai agents and not knowing which directory to run commands in. Drives me bonkers. Constantly tries to git commit root or temp or whatever then starts debugging why that didn't work lol

I wish they would just be containerised virtual environments for them to work in

and then realize microsoft and google are both pushing toward "fully agentic" operating systems. every file is going to be at risk of random deletion

Next up, selling a subscription service to protect those files from the fucking problem they created themselves

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 25 points 4 days ago

said solution will be a cloud service where your files are at more risk of exposure to bad actor

For security, Copolilot will extract your credit card details from your browser history to enroll you into this feature. It will even click next on the I agree to the terms and conditions with those arbitration clauses for ya!

Now don't you feel safe!

"Your files wouldn't have been deleted if you used Microsoft OneDrive backup"

And then they integrate that solution back into the operating system so that its all just as exposed as if it were locally stored anyways.

Cloud sync makes even using a virtual container not a guarantee you won't lose files. Deleting isn't as bad as changing the file and ruining it. Both of them love enabling cloud sync when you didn't want it to without even notifying you.

Thank you Microsoft for helping with bringing about the year of the Linux desktop

Fucking ai agents and not knowing

Anything. They don't know anything. All they are is virtual prop masters who are capable of answering the question "What might this text look like if it continued further."

I'm sure you could set up containers or VMs for them to run on if you tried.

Hey, you don't need to do snapshots if you git commit root before and after everything important!
