I mainly used VSCode on locked down corporate laptops. Usually good hardware but running windows and corporate security bloat. But where I was allowed to install alternative editors they were snappy.

I had to use VSCode for some projects in the past because it was what was available on the clients workstations... I can't imagine having to use that laggy electron abomination all the time. For me Zed is sent from heaven, because my p

For me it depends on open tabs: with modern firefox 4 digit number of open tabs on a 64GB machine is no problem. Chromium crawls to a halt at low 3 digits.

I'm curious what are those use-cases where you really need it? I have DRM disabled since forever and never experience any problems that I can relate to that.

actually most of my furniture is either inheritend (mostly from my grandpa and an aunt) or just "was there" in the old house (1835) I bought... Couldn't imagine living with modern Ikea junk.

no, "Softwareentwickler" doed NOT mean the person is male. It's the correct german form for either male OR generic. (generisches Maskulinum)

I use both, grok and chatgpt on a daily basis. They have different strenghts. Most of the time I prefer chatgpt, bit grok is FAR better answering questions about recent events or collecting data. In the second usecase I combine both: collec

I'm a bit confuses. Is this meant to compete with native desktop software or with other web UIs?

There are non-Perl-based replacements for basically all the system utilities written in Perl in Debian in other distributions, but as things are currently, the Debian versions written in Perl are still unmatched.
