I've never understood their massive activism arm, it's always seemed bloated and ineffective compared to organizations I donate money to like the EFF
just grifters siphooning money

From my perspective, Firefox, a while back, just stopped working on issues that matter. They got into politics, they tried to do everything, but not as good.
If they just focused to produce a good browser, they would be way ahead. And time when you could get $100Ms from Google are slowly coming to an end. Money attracts grifters and this is what brought them down from my perspective.
Now, just to be honest, I wish they find a way. We always could use alternatives. Just don't expect this alternative to come from Mozilla.

Oh man, now another distro will be labeled nazi... just not that, oh no :) haha!
I love Omarchy, I am sure Cachy is great, just don't feel the need to change much of anything.
I had similar idea long time ago during StumbleUpon and it was called OneRandomSite...
It was meant to help founders promote their startups or something.
Didn't work out for me.

I love it. What little I tried it. First homepage is actually clear and obvious.
I was thinking of similar markdown editing experience, so I am happy you did this so I don't have to.
Name is a little bit weird, what is this supposed to mean?

I have to say... I really like it.
I was settled on NVim and VSCode, then I discovered Zed, which is fantastic.
I guess you should not keep your life closed for new experiences. Everybody loves fast and responsive software, what can I say.
Thank you for your work, I will enjoy using it, it isn't for everything but that is how I started with Zed.

I-LOVE-IT!
At least to me, this is totally fresh take on AI and providing answers. OpenAI is burning through billions without trying to make nicer interface or just come up with some innovation how to train models (Qwen and Minimax). Unlike Claude who tries to smother you with content and emojis, I got clean and focused answer to my query and an app.
Again, love it, thank you. If you have to sell yourself, make sure you get a lot of billions.
BTW I saw this approach with mini apps with Cove.ai and it surprised me how useful it can be. I got simulations of some business ideas I was developing there and it was really useful.

I wonder why these forks don't build off Eclipse Theia. Is it because of the Eclipse license?
I am not fan of Eclipse, mostly due to bad experience with it, but this is excellent idea, if more people and companies would invest in it's development, we would have alternative to VS Code.
Now, would I prefer to use vs code with an extension instead? Yes, in the perfect world. But Cursor makes a better, more cohesive overall product through their vertical integration, and I just did the jump (it's easy to migrate) and can't go back.
