Is this a joke I'm too open source to understand?
I'm a vim fan as well, once I figured out how pasting worked (not just yanking and putting, using the system clipboard) I couldn't use anything else.
Is that like an ad for vim?
Just get past the point when you learn copy paste, the real one using clipboard then wow then you will be so hooked
Yeah I'm intrigued but it sounds like a hard pass then
I really don’t want AI. Can’t it just be a regular notepad? Or a regular calculator? I’m a human and I want to do human things not be replaced by a machine. I want the software to serve me.

Free Software is literally your only option, then. Everything else serves its corporate master first.
If you're not in control of your software then it's in control of you. Avoid proprietary software at all cost
Ai, which is famously good at maths.

Everyone needs to just stop using Windows.
Since leaning about notepad++ I have not used the notepad. Sad to see there is now another reason not to launch notepad.
I copied the windows 10 notepad.exe to my 11 machine and use that instead.
I did the same thing with mspaint, but from Win98.
i prefer Sublime Text…
On Windows, I switched from Notepad to Notepad++. When I switched to Linux, I tried using Notepadqq, which is just a Notepad++ fork with Linux support. But then I realized that Kate is actually miles ahead of Notepad++/qq.
I have zero clue how well it works on Windows, but I highly recommend trying it based on my Linux experience. Notepad++ and Kate are both FOSS either way, so you can't go wrong if you end up preferring or not preferring it.
Im a Sublime Text fan, I think their UI is cleaner than NP++ and I get a lot of milage out of the regex find/replace feature.
Me too. The multi-line select and edit feature has been a godsend so frequently. I use NP++ plenty too but I find Sublime far more useful out of the box and especially when I’m bouncing between Linux, macOS, Windows; it’s nice to have a consistent text editor across all platforms.
However I also use micro a lot if I’m just using the shell. It’s like Sublime but in the terminal and not proprietary too! Perfect for when you’re SSHing into servers and don’t want nano or vi. Best part, micro is a static binary so you can curl/wget it and spin it up straight away.

I thought this happened over a year ago
The icon is more prominent now.
You can bring back the old notepad and disable the new one.
I mean, don't look now but you're using Windows.
Ssshhh - don't look. It'll get suspicious.
My main computer uses Fedora, don't worry.
Hahajaha, oh god, people still use Windows?
Jesus fucking Christ.
Lol. Lmao, even.
