that looks very interesting, indeed. do you think it could work in places like iran too during current internet shutdown? some people use things like dnstt to get connected but it's extremely slow and unstable.

thanks for your work

I see, thanks for the info! I played with it for a bit and I really enjoy the results. A dark mode would be amazing to have but still great job!

I'm sorry for being ignorant but how does this work? Is there an LLM underneath? Does it use ChatGPT? If so, how do you maintain the privacy and how are you able to cover expenses? I'm just curious, it looks pretty great though.

In couple ways:

- Premium - a monthly subscription that gives some additional gimmicks

- Ads - they sell context-based ads in some large channels

- Crypto - they developed and invest in TON which used to be fully theirs (maybe still is? idk) and it's incorporated in the app

- Paid features inside the app, like you can buy their in-app currency to then use it in bots and whatnots

I think these are the main ways, also their CEO is a billionaire which is supposed to cover the rest of expenses and can gather investors to help.

Edit: sorry I suck at formatting

Is it just me or that's just a huge nothing-burger? That "new path" is not even explained in this? It's just a marketing speech.

I was the same as you but in the end I returned to Sublime. Nowadays with LSP plugin you don't need much, just LSP + extension to support your language and that's about it.

They changed the licenses to 3 year from lifetime though, so it's a bit of a bummer but at the same time I get it.

Sublime Text gang, raise up.

I was always a fan of Sublime Text and I moved away from it once because VSC felt more "hassle-free". The extensions just worked, I didn't need to go through endless JSON files to configure things, I even uncluttered its interface but at the end of the day I returned to good old Sublime Text. Now with LSPs it requires way less tinkering with plugins. I only wish it had just a little bit more UI customizability for plugins to use (different panes etc). Maybe with Sublime Text 5 if that ever comes.

Also about the speed: VSC is fast but in comparison... Sublime Text is just insta-fast.

Reading through this gave me serious chills. This sounds like something straight out of Josef Mengele laboratory.

I know! Every day when GBoard breaks down on its "glide" feature I miss my Swype. It was such an amazing keyboard, it's just plain sad.

I've seen this before. It doesn't work that way, Telegram Desktop first will tell you that "this is an exe file that might be highly dangerous" with a checkbox below to "don't show this again".

Having that said, I think this should still be rejected by the server so it's weird that it worked that way. However, the issue is not as bad as the video claims it to be, a user will be warned.

I sometimes feel like LinkedIn is the MySpace of our times.
