I’ve tried lots of options, and I still go back to vscode.

I’ve extensively used neovim and it has been my main IDE for years, but I got tired of having to spend entire afternoons configuring it. And I had too many total breaks, that had led me to recently abandon it as an IDE, still use it sometimes but much less. It relies on too many plugins, which makes breaks more common imho.

I tried helix. But features are far from what I expect for an IDE, even a modal command line one.

On the gui territory, I tried Lapce, but it’s still buggy and lacks features. Development pace is slow enough so I don’t consider it could become my ide in the near future, I have hopes for it, but not much as it could easily become abandoned before it’s usable.

I wanted to try Zed, but they seems to have a preference for macOS, which may have sense in the US but here I don’t remember the last developer I saw using a mac. There’s now a linux version, which I may try at some point, but some people commented that while in a better state than Lapce it’s not still a production ready option for an text-editor-IDE. Also the company behind it doesn’t inspire trust to me. There’s something about it that smells fishy, I cannot quite put my finger on what, but there’s something.

There are more options, some obscure, some old, some paid. For instance I usually hear good things about jetbrains ide. I tried intellij community and I’m not impressed, it’s slightly better than eclipse, but it’s not on the level of visual studio for dotnet. I’m not a student and I don’t get paid for my hobby developments so paid options are a no-go.

So it is visual studio code for me. Sometimes I still use neovim, as I really like modal editors, and vim/neovim is my go to text editor anyways. I’m due to try emacs, and I’m hopeful for the future of both helix and Lapce, though I manage my emotions as I’ve know too many projects that just never deliver, so I’m cautious.

It’s free will as long as you don’t know and/or control all of that chain of causality.

Words are words.

But there’re differences between the social structures, economic level and common cultures of some countries when compared to others.

And some of these aspects in some of these countries are worse than in others and they are expected to become better in the future, which implies there is a progression going on and different countries are in different points in this progression path.

For instance, a country that would not accept transexuality is objectively lower in this progression scale, and we hope in the future it will progress until it becomes a country that fully accepts transexuality.

And for people that attend to emotion and not reason I’m LGBT in more than one way, which means that my own existence is punished by death in some places and accepted as normal in others, which obviously stablish a scale of values from my perspective. I cannot consider equivalent a place whose legislation and culture would lead to my death to a place which would let me live.

How do you know is not being used to develop open source code?

I have used AI assistance in many things, most of them are open sourced as I by default open source everything I make in my free time. The output code is indistinguishable, same as you wouldn’t know if I asked my questions on how to do something on reddit, stackoverflow (rip) or other forum. You see the source, not the process I followed to make that source code. For all we know linux kernel devs might as well be asking chatgpt question, we wouldn’t know.

As per explicit open source AI related tools there are hundreds. So I don’t really know what you mean here that “open source projects” have not adopted AI. Do you mean like “vibe coding”?

That’s true. I didn’t think of that.

IPFS supposedly works fine with updating shares. But I don’t want to get closer to that project as they had fallen into cryptoscam territory.

I’m currently reading about “radicle” let’s see what the propose.

I don’t get the bad actors spamming the download. Like downloading too much? Torrent leechers?

EDIT: Just finished by search sbout radicle. They of course have relations with a cryptomscam. Obviously… ;_; why this keep happening?

Open source repositories should rely on p2p. Torrenting repos is the way I think.

Not only for this. At any point m$ could take down your repo if they or their investors don’t like it.

I wonder if it would already exist and if it could work with git?
