Woah, awesome job, man!
Did you tweak the OS somehow or did you setup the webserver fully on stock Android?
Couldn’t put it better myself.
Time for the next next generation!
I didn’t know cats can build wardrobes
Same. I thought about setting up a mirror on Github, just so I wouldn’t run into a situation like that.
Get theory from somewhere on the Internet (videos, tutorials etc.), then do exercises on platforms like Exercism. Once you feel like you are getting good at it, start replacing the time for exercises on time with real projects
Is it a blunder? Tell that to Apple, Jetbrains, or Microsoft, each of whom have proprietary code editors that net billions of dollars of revenue.
I expected you to say that! The only mentioned company that has a proprietary code editor is Jetbrains with their Fleet. Visual Studio, XCode, most jetbrains products are IDEs.
IDEs are big, bloated products that don’t need hackability because they already come prepackaged with everything. Code editors are different. Developers also like stuff being open source so they can put their trust into it — if everything goes to hell, somebody could fork it, which would save you from the need to find another properietary editor and change your workflow.
Ultimately, who develops OSS doesn’t matter anymore. Even the Linux kernel, the thing that comes to mind to most people when they think of “open source”, is developed by a lot of people working for corporations, on paid positions specifically to develop the kernel.
Instead, consider that making something open source is often just a marketing strategy — or a soft way to sunset a project.
I can’t disagree with that, but my point is that if being an open source code editor is so important, then there is a bigger probability that the team behind Zed are fixing the mistake, rather then sunsetting the software.
I am a little concerned that they started off commercial and then went open source. Open source is great! But this path sometimes means that the original developers no longer have the time/money/interest to keep developing it. I hope that’s not the case here because they’ve got the start of something good.
Developing a proprietary code editor is a blunder. The big players in the space are Vim, Emacs and VSCode, all of which are open source, so you can’t outcompete those unless you go open source yourself. Being customisable and source-hackable is the key in making your product being liked by developers, obviously.
My bet is they simply realised the mistake and decided to fix it.
Yeah, of course. I just wanted to know if this one has any killer features or is just an alternative
How is this different from Forgejo (Gitea)? Or any other git platform?
The dev is making Lemmy version of Infinity now
The problem is that there is no valid alternative at the moment, so I wouldn’t call that Stockholm sybdrome. Hosting that much content for free costs ungodly amounts of money to Google
Peak centrism
I’d rather give creators one time donations, tbh. $5 most likely would cover everything, creators gain very little from ads per viewer/listener
You can just use an adblocker and/or a custom front end
QubesOS is not fit for daily use by most people and you can also decorp your system without moving to it. Whilst the OS is a great one for its security, it’s for people with a specific threat model, so if you tell everyone to move to it, then you’re straight up giving really bad advice.
Uhh, I have to disagree. Hate for corporations isn’t hard coded into Lemmy and neither of us are using an instance moderated by the dev. Lemmy could easily be used by right-wingers
At first I thought you were talking about some edition that the UN remastered and was really confused.
