Gergely Orosz: Local agents launching apps on my desktop need to move to VMs or the cloud
rseroter · x · 2026-09-08
Developer Gergely Orosz is increasingly annoyed by locally-running agents that open browser windows and launch apps while he's working, interfering with his desktop. He argues such workloads should live in a VM or the cloud — kick them off and stay undistracted. The complaint highlights a real pain point of shared desktop environments and points toward sandboxing and isolation as the next step in agent deployment.
