Advertisements are not bad. We have to regulate them though. If you do not want advertisements then every single service you use would be paid.

Yeah bloated privacy nightmares.

I thought zed was just a slop focused Code fork like Cursor?

I have massive respect for the guy. He did so much for the open source community. But for some reason everything he says is interpreted as inarguable truth by most tech guys.

For example his opinions on AI are pure trash and bootlickery. Which is fine anyone can think anything. We just have to think for ourselves a little.

Just try it

Give micro a shot

Do they collect data though? This is important. If not I might give it a shot.

And also when you don’t use AI, can you disable all AI UI features.

Atleast C is easy to understand which makes it easier to find and fix vulnerabilities. C++ feels like it’s duct tape holding it together.

That’s the point lol

• C++ is an awful language overall.

• Linus is just some guy with good programming skills and not an authority over anything tech.

• There aren’t any good text editors in the wild. VSCode is awful apart from extension support. Kate is close to being perfect but lack of extensions are pulling it back. Vim, Helix, Emacs, NeoVim are all flex toys. nvm just tried zed with AI disabled

• AI bad

It is though

It’s kinda racist not gonna lie. Imagine if I forked Linux, did not change a thing, name it something else and then say “the old Linux was made by dirty Europeans this is our alternative”.

EuroOffice is a disrespect but apart from that I don’t think it’s gonna be anything more than a clone.

You convinced me with the last line. This is so rare nowadays. Switching today for sure. Thanks.

I’ve been using OnlyOffice for a while now but I don’t really trust them because of their AI integration and awful plugins. How good is LibreOffice compared to OnlyOffice? Is the UI still awful? Did the devs said anything about AI?

Does not matter how he uses AI. It is a fundamentally unethical technology. Environmental damage, job losses, stealing work from open source programmers and artists, poisoning the young generations mind etc.

I don’t give a fuck how Linus uses AI. Linux was here before LLMs were a thing and it can continue to be like this. Linus chose the easy way and disregarded every single negative aspect of it and decided to call it 'just a tool". The exact same excuse every single cuckcoder uses btw.

Can we as the tech community stop dick riding Linus and accept that he sold out to big tech?

I bet Linus is happy since AI is a “great” tool and not using it is stupid amiright?

Linux is definitely going to that direction but is not yet there. I have no idea why Linus is supporting this god awful tool so much. I guess promoting a programmer as an indisputable true opinion source was wrong. He became a bootlicker for big tech at the end. Such a shame.
