I’m looking at going off-grid.

I needed wifi-enabled sockets (I have 3 lights which are actually grow lights for the plants in winter, and I want them to be on not only when someone’s in the room), and it was quite difficult to get ones that don’t just send everything to a cloud in China.

Fucking hell that’s exactly what I don’t want. Notepad should be the clean stupid text scrubbed of codes editor. They can do word pad or textpad for jacked up utility stuff.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Its bog simple, no frills text editing without fancy features actually was its main feature. I was also thinking, I wonder how long before they realize that and recreate the simple notepad and maybe call it “note” or “pad” but then I remembered they released this back in May:

It’s a.command line program so most normies will never find it or use it but I guess it might be handy for devs and tech people for quick edits. Since it’s open source, I’m kind of hoping it replaces nano as the default command line editor on a lot of Linux installs. I install nvim for any machine I’m going to be using a lot but I’d much prefer the above edit program to nano.

M$ is so hell bent on embedding AI in everything in Windows that I am more and more likely to join your Linux cult. Have fun being my tech support.

There is the old favorite Notepad++. It has a lot of other shit in it, but I mostly use it for notes and random shit. I got addicted to it years ago because the tabs persist and you don’t lose everything when you accidentally shut down notepad. It took M$ I think until Win11 to match that feature. It was also very useful long ago for syntax highlighting and previewing very large CSVs, but you can do that in IDEs now.
