Zed is a modern open-source code editor, built from the ground up in Rust with a GPU-accelerated renderer.
You must log in or # to comment.
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
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!
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?
I still don’t understand why I should need GPU acceleration for my fucking TEXT EDITOR
also seems to have some security issues …
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?

They auto download binaries, even proprietary ones, unsigned and without user interaction.
YEAH security!
So they’re doing the equivalent of VSCode(ium)'s extensions, but installing them automatically and not giving you the option to use alternatives?
Blegh.
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
opensshandvim, right?Is VSCode not open source?
Vscode is like Chrome
And
VS Codium is like Chromium
What’s that?
Integrated Development Environment (IDE) from the makers of Atom. It is written in rust.
