Notepad++ is just, a top tier app
People are allowed to want what they’re comfortable with to not be riddled with llms
TBH, tech companies showing AI down our throats is still no good, open-source alternative existing or not.
DRM wasn’t good either, tech companies are just really creative at making their products worse.
I would be happy if more and normal people were actually mad at ai.
Normal people are losing themselves in AI. I’ve seen multiple instances of people using LLM to fact check someone. Endless “uhh, but I asked ChatGPT and it said blablabla” making me lose faith in humanity.

Yeah it’s become impossible to have philosophical discussions, although this truly does seem limited to the virtual world (i.e. via text, online, etc.). If I were to go have some drinks with a friend and they busted out some LLM to take part in our discussion I would chastise them endlessly for it.
Honestly its not much different from a google search and reading some nonsense written by someone who has no authority in the subject. As long as it reinforces their belief itll be true in their eyes
Why are the robots making art? Why are the humans packing the boxes?…
MO: Make high cost human low cost human
Exactly, we should focus on the highest paid jobs first! Automate the bankers and executives!
You can do VSCode, which is FOSS, contains integrated AI, and you can even complain about Micro$oft at the same time as a bonus!
VSCodium

Microsoft is attacking the forks
Yup, fucking captured it!
Wait who doesn’t already use Notepad++? It’s even part of the standard install image at my job, and we have MS365 accounts already
Son, I was using Emacs before Notepad++ even existed.
Tap for spoiler
Oh shit, I looked it up and it’s literally true. Notepad++ was first released in 2003 and I’m pretty sure I used Emacs for the first time in 2002.
Me because I use Sublime Text
I use nvim, btw
I use vintage vim, fucks hard on my arch (which I use btw)
Ah, I see you’re a man of culture as well
Sometimes you’re in the feelings phase, not the solutions phase.
On the subject of Foss and AI - one of the G summer of code projects is about integrating an AI voice platform into Neochat and I’m somewhere between bemused and amused by the lack of reaction from de KDE/Plasma community
I was going to suggest Zed but it has Ai as well now
They don’t shove it in your face though, they just offer a possibility of integrating AI through external services.
A button for AI in Notepad as seen in the image doesn’t seem like shoving in your face either
I’m chill with the amount of ai duckduckgo has, because its not in your face and it can be easily disabled.
Yeah but duckduckgo has loads of adds now, too
at least its not more than Google
It’s all fun and games until ai is mad at you
Some FOSS software has been adding gen-AI to itself recently, particularly where it requires you to get an API key from Gemini, OpenAI or Claude.
I don’t mind that they can do it so long as it serves those users who want that feature.
