  • WTF is a “privacy-focused code editor?” They’re just glorified text editors! They run locally! They don’t connect to the Internet at all! How would they be anything other than “privacy-focused” by default? Why is this even a question?!

    I fucking hate this timeline.


    Anyway, to answer your question: emacs, obviously. Or vim if you’re evil, I suppose. Or just whatever the Hell you want, because if your editor even has “terms of service” or a “privacy policy” of any kind something has already gone horribly wrong.

    I hate it when Free Software installers present the GPL as if it’s an EULA. It’s not! You don’t have to agree to it to install the software!

    You only have to agree to it if you decide to do something that copyright law otherwise does not allow (e.g. redistribution of a modified version), and it is the act of doing that thing itself that signals your acceptance, no button-clicking necessary.



  • Nothin’ I’m running, that’s for sure!

    It’s not really that there are services that require that much processing power for a single request; it’s that it’s designed to handle normal requests for hundreds or thousands of users at once.

    I suppose that supporting 0.5TB of RAM means it could deal with quite a big LLM, but any sort of halfway-modern GPU would absolutely run circles around it in terms of tokens per second, on any model that fit in their VRAM.
