alt Hacker Newsso something that 95% of the users of Zed will end up doing? You're arguing this is a good thing because there is a "choice" in how the company gets to fuck you over?

Not sure what you assume I said or argued. Grandparent wrote a question about how can an open source project have ToS (which is a totally legitimate question if they think that the ToS are for the open source project) and I copy pasted the response of somebody from zed team that says that the ToS are about the subscription services only.
The data related part of the ToS for the subscription are the most basic thing you would expect in a standard data processing agreement type of ToS where you have somebody else process your data on your behalf. I don't see any "fuck you over" in them.

Will they? I downloaded it for a test run, and there was no pressure to create a Zed account. I got the impression that it's something you'd do if you wanted to use their cloud AI services, and I can't really see why you'd want a third party involved instead of just bringing your own subscription to your favourite model.
