    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.

    Since leaning about notepad++ I have not used the notepad. Sad to see there is now another reason not to launch notepad.

      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’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.

          No, I just didn’t know how to copy to the system clipboard. Its just highlighting the text, and pressing "*y

      No, you need wordpad for that.

      It was discarded recently.

      It was specifically never intended to, that’s why we had wordpad and write, until M$ killed them to push office

      There are a lot of config files that break if edited in a rich text editor, notepad makes sure that every machine comes with a package that can cleanly edit flat text files for that reason.

          Which write does, and on occasion was accidentally used to create malformed plaintext files that borked many a device

          So they made sure to include at least one explicitly plaintext only editor, to prevent such mistakes.

    I switched to Metapad years ago. Drop-in replacement for Notepad.

    But MSPaint. I could cry. What have they done? And it ain’t that easy to get the old version to run on Win11. I’m currently unsuccessful.

        Win11 Enterprise 23h2. Running mspaint.exe from an admin cmd prompt opens this copilot tainted thing. Its all good. Fuk this whole version anyway. … I’ve got VMs and other machines. Working around it for now.

    At risk of completely triggering lemmy… that button is basically an Ad. It apparently only works if you are signed into a Microsoft account and have the right subscription, otherwise all you can do is view the available plans.
