We don’t? What are the upvotes for?

The youthbers are even more dependent that reeeeeeditors. At this point, even if Goofle started making literal nazi content themselves, they’d probably gain viewers, not lose it.

Do it. You’ll learn something new. Maybe you’ll even contribute to the code.

Your online games are going to continue working? All of them? You’ll be able to go to a publisher and say “I bought your game, can i download a copy”?

I don’t have my entire library downloaded to disk and a few things don’t even work offline. I’ve even been logged out of steam after not playing for a year and that required an internet connection. Without it, it wasn’t even possible to see my library.

How many people do you think have downloaded their entire game library? Will they be able to go to the publisher and say “I bought your game on steam, give me a copy”? How many games would continue working after stream goes down (especially online ones)? How do you install individual games you backed up to other computers and other people’s game library?

I had a quick look and it seems interesting. Finally went with something else, but it’s now on my TODO list to check out typst. Never did like LateX.

Is that opensource?

I finally went with this. Thanks.

It doesn’t have a theme registry like JSON Resume, but at least it works. Finally my CVs are in git 🥰

How to recruit new pirates to the cause. Thank you goofge.

I’m one of the people that appreciates Steam, but doesn’t trust it because their good will can disappear at the drop of a cent. There’s no guarantee they can’t and won’t go evil.

They don’t want to moderate the rampant Nazis in their forum and games you “buy” are just actually loans. If steam shuts down today, every game you bought is gone. So I’m taking precautions and buying from stores that do provide games without DRM.

Steam isn’t perfect and won’t ever be. It’s pretty, but won’t always be. I can criticise the bad parts because I’m not some fanboy cuck.

This is why stop killing games is a thing. But gamers have no solidarity when it comes to buying games. We could maintain a list of games that are safe to buy and gamers would still buy the unsafe ones.

A fork of Zed without AI, I see. I’ll need to look at how active it is. Forking is easy, maintaining is hard.

Thanks for the suggestion.

No. Next question.

(insert spongebob meme showing the fat dude a bunch of big python projects upon which many things run in this world)

There is no other, universal, IDE stack that can come close.

Maybe that is the sad conclusion and a perpetual fallback license is what I’ll end up with.

Ok, maybe if you are willed to invest weeks in an emcas or neovim setup

Neovim was highly praised by a colleague and a friend. And when streaming was a big thing (COVID, eh?), there were neovim streamers out there singing it praises. But after a month of failing to configure anything that was even close to what a proper IDE has, I just dropped it. The meme about vim and emacs users spending years configuring their IDE is no joke, and I just don’t have the time for that.

And to AI. Cursor should be able to connect to jetbrains IDEs from the outside.

Yeah, Cursor has an ACP, but the ACP integration in Jetbrains is… meh. I tested a few to make my employer happy, but found that the major problem in the chain was/is the Jetbrains IDE. It seems like Jetbrains IDEs are much better without agentic coding than with. At least my experience.

I am afraid that even with all the bugs, it may unfortunately be the best we have at the moment. I would gladly pay a subscription to an opensource alternative that focused on being on par to old Jetbrains IDEs. Maybe it’s time to just use my perpetual fallback license and call it a day with Jetbrains.

I remember seeing Zed a while back and them heavily promoting the AI capabilities. I’ll give it a try to see if it’s built upon a solid base and works well without the AI stuff. There are features in Jetbrains IDEs that I’m quite fond of like cross-file refactoring, proper debuggers, (up until recently) the docker integration, and their database browser. Hopefully at least cross-file refactoring and debugging is available.

Thanks for pointing it out.

Honestly, throwing your toys over a modal commit dialog seems a bit misguided when switching to any other IDE is going to involve coping with much bigger changes.

I’m sorry, but I expected more of you than such a belittling response :/ Infantalisation (“that’s a kid unhappy with their toys”) and assuming this is a tantrum over a single issue is not cool.

Holy wall of text. Did the dude even once come up for breath while writing that?
