Real quotes from Reddit comments that inspired this opportunity

  • I keep getting this prompt for every single fucking edit it does.
  • I keep selecting 'Yes, and don't ask again for these files', but it keeps asking again
  • Came here to say this had the same issue
  • it was a bubblewrap unprivileged user namespaces problem in Ubuntu
  • Are you daft? You think it's a good idea to remove the guardrails entirely because it struggles with permissions?
  • try switching from WSL to WSL 2
