I want to try Zed, but it's just too much of a supply chain attack waiting to happen. https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/12589

I did install it in a VM with virtio-gpu, but it was absurdly slow, so I wasn't able to try it.

Had similar concerns, but just noticed they seem to be taking this more seriously now: https://zed.dev/blog/secure-by-default

  • Seems not applicable, given it will still download and install random LSPs for you without asking.

  • Is that directly related to the GitHub issue? Or you just mean that they're taking security more seriously?

    I was searching the article you linked to see if it addresses the GH issue in any way, but it seems to not.
