  > another startup sells you a mouse jiggler, that makes you 'active' 24/7 The problem with this is the power imbalance. The mouse jiggling is technically fraud. So discovery of this tool’s use confers massive leverage to the employer.

    I just like my mouse to vibrate randomly. It's completely unrelated to any tracking software. Please don't look too closely.
