I’ve kept my eye on this, not due to the AI, but because Zed is a scumbag organization that thinks mandatory opt-out arbitration is okay, because they don’t think their users should have rights. You of course don’t have to sign in but it still indicates they are an evil organization. Alas, I just keep on being super happy with Neovim so I don’t use it.
Sooo evil, making a great editor available completely for free that you don't have to use at all. How dare they? Practically Hitler!
The entitlement is off the scale...
Wow, we found the dude from another era that thinks that free is all that matters.
Big genius.
So, the evil is pretending that it's done out of the goodness of their heart. We all know the end game.
What the hell are you on about? I don't think I'm entitled to use their editor, hence as I said, not doing so. But I do think I'm entitled to my right to trial provided by a public institution with public accountability rather than a private organization with no accountability and no right to appeal.
You don't have to be comparing something to Hitler to call it evil, which requiring people opt-out of giving up rights is. But hey... Stans gonna Stan.
