Are you really so self-centered that you can't imagine anyone doesn't care?
I'll raise my hand and say I personally am happy to trust Zed and am fine with auto-installing whatever binaries they propose.
I do think it's reasonable to have an option for people with different security postures, but don't assume you speak for everyone.
It's not a "random binary" either, it's a hosted binary for language features coming from the zed developers github release.
Even if the binary was compiled on demand when you clicked the button, were you going to go through the entire source of node to verify?
You may not vet the source of the language server, but you might want to determine which ones you are willing to trust/take the risk, and which ones you aren't.
If you want to use NeoVim, then LSP-zero + Mason was also a decent experience last I tried.
Maybe I'm missing something, but it was definitely more complicated than "just use mason".
Not true, everyone is not you, I don't want to.
absolutely incorrect, i loved that it does it for me and do not care even in the slightest and in fact this is 1000x preferable to vscode asking me.
what on earth made you think this was a reasonable reply.
everyone
> If you open a file for that language, is there ever a time you would deny the download?
every time
default should be offline imo. want to download something? do it manually and place in folder etc
