Zed is a modern open-source code editor, built from the ground up in Rust with a GPU-accelerated renderer.
Installer is piping curl into shell
I thought we were past this as a society 😔
Not until after you convince these projects to stop using discord
A curl piped into a shell or some unofficial packages from various distros.
At this point I don’t get why these projects are not Flatpak-first.
Flatpak is worse for debugging, development, and reproducibility.
Its good for user friendly sandboxing, portability, and convenience.
Is it really worse tho? A single build, against a single runtime, free from distro specificities, packaged by the devs themselves instead of offloading the work on distro maintainers?
ooh, available for “x86_65” on Alpine
(and they’ve fixed that now)
imagine the nightmare of writing a 65 bit instruction set
I don’t think it has to be a nightmare per se if you start from scratch.
Instead of 8-bit bytes, you have 5-bit “bytes” (fyves?) Hoozah! Done.
only if double precision can be called high fyves
This is a mandatory rule now.
x86_64++
Plus ultra!
also seems to have some security issues …
I still don’t understand why I should need GPU acceleration for my fucking TEXT EDITOR
There ought to be a rule that posts about software releases have to say what it is.
Zed (a high-performance code editor announced in 2022), not to be confused with Xed (a small and lightweight text editor released in 2016)
EDIT: or Yed (a small and simple terminal editor core)
Zed seems cool, but not much better than other options. I am still kind of thrown off by the immediate GH/CoPilot integration. Am I the an old man left in the caves of feeling that I don’t need the AI help?
I am BEGGING for any editor other than VSCode to have decent remote development. I want to go open source but everything I’ve tried (remote-nvim, distant, tramp, vscodium, etc.) just doesn’t cut it.
What in hell is remote development? You mean
openssh
andvim
, right?Is VSCode not open source?
Vscode is like Chrome
And
VS Codium is like Chromium

They auto download binaries, even proprietary ones, unsigned and without user interaction.
YEAH security!
