Oh, that sounds related to what I experienced. I recently had another look at Zed and tried to use it to full-text search through my workspace consisting of symlinked folders. Rele…

Oh, absolutely. That is the hot path.

Yes.

Yes

No, it means that I’m building a fast alternative to the stock solid based web UI. Pi (isn’t the “mono” just about it being a monorepo?) has no features and no defined server-clien…

The open models are good! Even when hosted, they buy you a lot of portability.

Thank you for your work on Matrix. I believe that the world needs an interoperable messaging standard just like we have E-Mail, which is why I am so interested in Matrix becoming s…

Yes, this would be acceptable too, if that is all we had. We would build systems do deal with this unreliability, just like we have with humans.

The website is also so hilariously enshittified that the “enshittification” text barely peeked through the ads and other popups.

Seeing such issues with Matrix and other open, common-good projects, I get the feeling like they just aren’t architected for good everyday-user UX. Matrix is making real efforts to…

Same for multi-account support in Element Desktop. However: The new breed of clients (Element X) has this, along with many other improvements. This is probably what the happy user …

I can’t think of any example in which it has gone like this, but some in which it has: The most prominent in my mind would be software transitioning from “of course you get the cod…

They have no (other) equivalent to nano, so it makes sense that it’s much cheaper now. It may have been better, but it was also hell of a lot more expensive.

What an incredible project. I also find it tragic how much Apple hates people running software on their devices that makes them vastly more useful.

Cranking up the reasoning effort seems be a trend recently and to me it looks desperate, like cranking up the wattage of a processor when you can’t get other, better gains. Like ye…

I get your reading. My interpretation is that they’re claiming enshittification and that the local models don’t have that. It’s an understandable view, but I’d be astonished by any…

Oh, great point!

The opposite applies to my use. Humans are generally great at predicting where moving things will land - we evolved for that. It feels great flicking the cursor around and stopping…
