Reminder that by using Bitlocker, you're using a closed source encryption for which Microsoft will happily hand out your recovery key on request.

UBlock Origin is also giving me the warning on that domain.

Only the 31b is Gemma.

All the rest - including 9B - are Qwen 3.5/3.6:

Pi Coding Agent would be great also.

Ghostty-web exists and is even API compatible with xterm.js (same engine that powers Ghostty):

In fact, it looks like wterm's 12KB plugin doesnt offer full term emulation and uses ghostty to support everything else:

nacs — Sat, 23 May 2026 12:07:37 +0000

Node-based editors are not new.

The Arc homepage is clearly vibe slop but with 75 nodes and backend supposedly coded in C, it looks to me like it would have taken a couple of months to get here at least, certainly not a release within 1 week of Youtube-person's mention.

It doesn't seem to be open source unfortunately.

Lastpass has had multiple large breaches, especially after LogMeIn bought them out

This feels like deja-vu with Lastpass.

LogMeIn buys Lastpass, multiple massive breaches occur[, people move to Bitwarden].

Just checked since you made me curious. With 1 PHP and 1 nodejs project in 2 windows, here's the usage (on Ubuntu Linux):

   Zed is using:
   - CPU: 4.7%
   - RSS: ~2.1 GB

The bulk of it is language servers (TypeScript/tsserver is adding ~600MB). Zed by itself is ~790MB RAM.

I only installed it today for the first time but yes it does have a very prominent button to completely disable all AI.

New comment by nacs in "GitHub Copilot is moving to usage-based billing"

nacs — Mon, 27 Apr 2026 16:29:33 +0000

Even Sonnet 4.6 is 9x multiplier (previously 1x)!

The only model I even used on Copilot was Sonnet and now its got a ridiculous multiplier.

At this point they might as well just charge per Million tokens like every other provider instead of having a subscription.

It's not just the price of the console itself as mentioned in the article. Things like the Playstation and Xbox require a *very* expensive SDK.

Playdate's SDK is free.

You should really look at the 2nd link, its much worse than telemetry..

> opencode will proxy all requests internally to https://app.opencode.ai

> There is currently no option to change this behavior, no startup flag, nothing. You do not have the option to serve the web app locally, using `opencode web` just automatically opens the browser with the proxied web app, not a true locally served UI.

It looks like the author has kept it updated since then.

They mention the "Qwen3.5 (35B)" model for example which was released around 2 weeks ago.

Lossless-cut has both an HTTP api and a CLI so it could be controlled via a lightweight TUI if someone wanted.

They may but note that this isn't an official Newgrounds project - this is just a user ("Bill") posting on his own Newgrounds blog that he has made this (its not Newgrounds' official blog).

nacs — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 02:53:13 +0000

Yep, the email they sent out is terribly worded so it looks like the age requirement is for Zed itself.

Their actual blog ( https://zed.dev/blog/terms-update ) says the age requirement is only for their AI service (still not the best wording but a little clearer):

> Age requirement. You must be 18 or older to use Zed’s AI-enabled software-as-a-service offering (the “Service").

> I really hope more people realize that local LLMs are where it's at

No worries, the AI companites thought ahead - by sending GPU, RAM, and now even harddrive prices through the roof, you won't have a computer to run a local model.

What model and hardware powers this?

Is this a Google T5 based model?
