tjekon A website for debloated open source alternatives

https://madeineurope.dk is by far the easiest to navigate imo, but all the alternatives are of course european given the website name (can also filter by open source).

tjekon OpenAI: GPT 5.6 Sol price reduction (until at least Nov 21)

The fact that the goalpost is moving is a clear sign China is losing its hardware dominance. 5-10 years ago you would have specified not Made/Assembled in China (which is very easy to find nowadays, e.g. Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, even iPhones).

tjekon Zed 1.0

Generating images inside the agent threads would be huge. I always feel sad when I have to open ChatGPT to generate my images.

They both work very well. My only complaint is that you can't use them to generate commit messages using the Git Panel (have to do it inside the Agent Thread instead), and /compact seems to have issues so you will often need to start a new thread (this wasn't an issue in the past so hopefully it will get fixed soon).

tjekon Zed 1.0

Congrats! I have been using Zed for many years now, arguably the best piece of software I have ever used, and the main reason I switched to macOS.

The editor is so good it has been defining how I work - at first I would quickly copy relevant files into multiple AI chat apps using Text Threads (was quite annoyed when it was replaced by the Agent Panel which at the time made it very awkward to add relevant context and copy text), and now I really can't imagine living without the new Threads Sidebar.

It's not perfect, but whenever something is broken then I know it's just a matter of time before it gets fixed or improved.
