This is so cool to see. Plan9 was a wonderful part of my COVID isolation, and I miss playing with it. This might have inspired me to spin up a 9front VM this weekend.

New comment by fultonb in "Zed now predicts your next edit with Zeta, our new open model"

I got beta access to this and love it. It is much more useful than copilot by itself and very useful for an edit that is a little repetitive. I wish I could run the model locally and given that is open source and they have support for Ollama and other OSS tools, I feel like that would be an amazing feature.

New comment by fultonb in "The Truth about College Costs"

I go to a top-100 private college and I can confirm this experience. Virtually everyone I know has at least a 40-60% tuition "scholarship" (I'm personally on a 60%). I suspected that are university simply had an automatic discount for most people. Didn't realize this was a thing at most private institutions. Fascinating article.

New comment by fultonb in "Linux has nearly half of the desktop OS Linux market"

I agree with the author here, and quite frankly as much as I like GNU/Linux it is a long way from being a usable operating system for my parents and other non-technically inclined people (to the point that I'm writing this on a Mac because I'm in uni and I don't have time to deal with getting the some of the software I have to use to work) I personally hate Chrome OS, but it is a Linux desktop. Now do we want a FOSS GNU/Linux desktop? Yes, and this isn't it. But it is a Linux desktop and should be credited as such.
