I thought it was dumb too but, to be honest, I kind of prefer using “main” now. It’s quicker to type lol

From my experience, companies would rather just pay for a commercial license. Anything abnormal gets trashed and banned in my company.
I think it’s more easy to understand “pay exactly this amount to use commercially” than the legal and accounting teams trying to work out how much to pay when you say 1% of their revenue to FOSS software. You can always donate the profits anyway
Are there any plans for enabling a global menu like Unity had or if writing an extension for one is possible? I miss it every day 😅.
It’s looking great though! I’m very hyped to try it
I used it recently to update the creation date of a bunch of notes. Just wanted them to display in the correct order in Obsidian. Besides that though, always just used it for file creation lol
It is in Canada too but that doesn’t seem to stop companies from using the term
Pls no. I can only take so much Terraform
As a developer, I see sysadmins/devops as black magic masochists
You can really see the difference between opening VSCode and Zed, even more so if you compare it to something like JB’s Fleet editor.
To be fair, it’s not the easiest to compare right now since Zed is lacking a million features of Code, but if all the work they’ve done keeps it as fast as it is with features like user extensions it will be well worth it.
I usually have ~10 different VS Code windows open at a time (yay microservices ❤️), so having something as fast as Zed would be really appreciated.
Fish’s autocomplete is enough for me. I do like having Copilot in my editor but I can’t really think of a reason I’d need it in my terminal. Most of my time in the terminal is just installing things, git or moving things around and I have all those commands down as muscle memory.
That makes it even worse then 😅. The whole thing seems kind of silly
Does it actually make sense to call it free nginx? It seems like that’d just cause confusion, especially if the projects diverge. Most of the time when this happens they choose a new name (like MariaDB vs MySQL)
That being said, I wish the project all the best. I use nginx both professionally and personally so I’ll be keeping an eye on this.
The weird thing is that engineer is a protected term in Canada but every software dev title I’ve had so far includes it anyway. It doesn’t seem enforced at all here
I have it installed on my work laptop and give it a try every few updates. I really like it. The vim emulation is pretty fleshed out and it definitely feels a lot faster than VScode.
I believe it’s kind of out of scope of the project at the moment, but I’d really love to see debugger support. It’s the only thing keeping me on VS code
There’s teams of people on the right at my company and while they’re able to build just about anything they’re asked to in wicked time, one look at their codebase makes you want to quit and become a farmer.
Unfortunately I’ve had to do work in their repos before and I would ALWAYS prefer working with someone who aims for 100% test coverage
At one of my first jobs, I was tasked to rewrite a bunch of legacy Perl scripts in Python and the unless lines always made me trip up. I don’t know why but it really messed with my mental flow when reading Perl code
I do this often. It’s useful if you want to send it to your coworker for some early feedback or as others have said, have the CI run
Back when I was into tiling window managers and all that i’d use urxvt but now i just use gnome terminal. I can theme it nicely and it works well
I don’t really think that’s fair. I agree with your suggestion that it should be a multiplatform DE rather than just its own distro but I think having polished and design opinionated distros is important. I know a few Mac guys who have become interested in Linux when they heard about ElementaryOS.
I get that a lot of people hate on GNOME too for being annoying to customise and being highly opinionated but I think that’s the key to getting the average person interested in Linux. The average person just wants their desktop to look nice out of the box and maybe offer a dark mode. Anything more than that gets too complicated.
Edit: and yeah having access to programs like the MS apps is important but it’s not like that has to come before having an appealing desktop
