Insane that we have all this data, up-to-date, accessible almost everywhere and to everyone on the planet.
Also amazing how well browser translation works.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Let's see how practical it is to isolate coding agents on macOS:
- Create separate aiagents user
- Use ACL to grant access to specific project directories
- Run Claude Code/Codex etc. via su - aiagents
- Enable sandbox + manual command approval
- No access to ~/.ssh etc.

Be aware: sandboxing is NOT enabled by default in Claude Code (cc). You need to explicitly enable it by running the /sandbox command in cc. This is an opt-in feature. From a security perspective, this is a poor design choice
