I tried for a while Zed as GUI editor, as I like the model where I use vim heavily, and some separate GUI editor for more like code browsing and understanding what I'm looking at (and meetings).
It's great in some areas but once you end up situation where you don't have your GPU driver temporarily available you are literally fucked. LLVMpipe experience is a horror story.
That's why I've returned on using my paid version of Sublime Text when I need a GUI editor because it just works in all situations and hardware generally quite well. It has both well implemented software and GPU pipelines.
This is also why I would look at its performance comparisons with a grain of salt as you could call Zed as unfinished implementation. It's not uncommon to boot a machine to some kind safe or rescue mode and it still would be nice to have full text editor experience.

@jwildeboer right i had forgotten that one :-)
I like how Fediverse transforms Internet economy from feudalism from capitalism, and that is why I strongly support this movement.
It makes Internet like a city with shops or chain of shops (instance or network instances) instead of a castle owner (like Bezos) owning the market square where all the trade happen, collecting heavy taxes and generally enslaving people. And being against this is called by some as communism, which does not fit to my logic at all.
I don't know how other people see it but in my world view there is no healthy market capitalism on Internet. It's actually medieval times economy that we have at the moment. What e.g. Fediverse implements is democracy and capitalism which provides breathing space for small business owners. Right now we all are like land slaves.

@jwildeboer it's a genuine feature in this platform, i.e. genuine in tech vs genuine in ideology.
This is why I believe that in long-term Servo will be a great success also commercially: it's not just free software no strings attached to Mozilla or Google. It's also superior in tech e.g. considering its GPU-first rendering pipeline, and multi-core design. Competitors have duct taped software rendering pipelines into compositors over the years but GPU is not in the genes of Gecko or Chromium. Also they are not that great spreading the workloads at high granularity to multiple CPU cores.

@jwildeboer I'm waiting for someone to realize that Mastodon and Fediverse could be used as platform for code sharing sites :-) E.g., heavily customized Mastodon instance just for sharing snippets (like gists).
This is where I see strong potential for also commercial use: social development tools. Would be IMHO perfect place for Red Hat to step in and show how it's done ;-)

@jwildeboer example :-) https://social.kernel.org/notice/AgzHqrYFGplZuYr3gG
should start using some standard hashtag for these...

@jwildeboer some stuff i put as snippets to mastodon and then use bookmarks-feature to retrieve them later. it is sort of obfuscated version of gists :-) posts in mastodon have all the basic features for gists such as version history and comments.

Data source injection will definitely be a thing in AI-powered world. Especially in state level actors can implement this at scale and indirectly orchestrate both the learning process of LLM's and execution process of AI powered services (as many of them combine the static LLM with external resources scavenged during execution).
Michael Pound is pretty known researcher in various topics so definitely worth of watching:

A short tutorial on how to get basic open source #FPGA #toolchain on #macOS, and running a trivial Verilog example:
https://datacore.nanographs.io/000+Publish/Installing+the+Open+Source+FPGA+tool+chain+on+Mac
The same tools are widely available on Linux distributions just using the standard packaging tools, thus this Mac post :-)

@root42 there's a shop in Sweden doing replicas of GUS PnP:

A correction. Libera Chat already supports as of today IRCv3 at least in some level (not full coverage of the features):

About a year now without Facebook 🥳
Two years without LinkedIn.
Never used list that comes into mind:
1. Instagram
2. Snap Chat
3. TikTok
4. Spotify (I use BandCamp and SoundCloud because they have all the interesting music. I never have had a thing for cherry-picked and uninteresting music)
5. Discord
6. TOR (As of today I haven't been in a situation where I need to buy narcotics or illegal sexual services or associated oriented material from Internet)
Projects touching this topic that I find interesting and trying out once in a while.
1. IRC 3.0: think time would right to establish wide IRC 3.0 network. There's a niche for this. I hope someone like OFTC or Libera Chat would start providing this for developers interested both having projects there or help to establish IRC 3.0.
2. Try Quiet: Look at https://tryquiet.org/. It's not yet stable enough for production but this could be a great alternative for Signal group chats for instance.

@raito IMHO, it is good to promote projects like I have (and will also end up to MAINTAINERS file after it becomes my daily CI). for the sake open source community detox :-)
"I love Fedora on my host but I still see NixOS as a one of kind tool for building operating system images"
If I start to look at some project I'm contributing to, or software that I use, as "a clan", then it is time to do be offline for some time and do more exercise etc. :-) I've been there too (not judging).

I have not slept a lot for one week but this work needed some stretch. It was surprisingly hard to find material where NixOS is used "only" as a tool. It is an alternative to Yocto and Buildroot for me, as this is exactly where I use it, and where I previously used aforementioned builders.
Thus, I've postponed to do this for two years, although the idea has been spinning on my mind for some time (especially for testing aarch64 kernel with the help of macOS w/o having to install Asahi). Week of insomnia starts to pay off...
