Notepad had one job. Operate on a damn text file. Operate on the damn text files I choose.

I knew it was going down the drain when I reopened Notepad and it opened the files that were previously open. No. Don't do that. That's overly helpful. You were only supposed to operate on the damn files I chose. These files I'm about to work with aren't necessarily the files I previously worked on. If I want this functionality I might as well open it in vscode.

I'm, like, screw it, might as well keep Emacs running if I need random temporary text editing.

Personally I find that feature (including tabs in general) very helpful and is something i'd expect from a text editor in the 20th century.

Just my opinion. To each their own, but just wanted to share that it might also be many others' opinion too.

Never heard of Tutanota mail, anyone here know anything about it?

Use Copilot to write your own Notepad. With Blackjack. And hookers.

linux is definetly not all of that anymore.

but yes, one step at a time, its time will come for ya.

[–] DJDarren@sopuli.xyz 2 points 49 minutes ago

I'm gradually immersing myself in Linux until my Macbook loses macOS support, at which point I'll go full time on Asahi, having learned the ropes from Mint on my old Mac mini.

There are still some things that send me scuttling back to macOS, glad that Preview exists with its easy to operate editing and PDF viewing. But I'll learn to make that stuff second nature in Linux. Eventually.

People complain that Linux is inconvenient but then prostrate themselves upon the broken, buggy, ad-infested spyware that is Windows. Doesn't seem very convenient to me. This person thought that their Notepad data was private before Copilot? Ha!

[–] dogs0n@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Sadly most people grow up using and are tought Windows from the first time they touch a computer so its quirks and workarounds of bugs are engrained in the users mind.

Uprooting their entire (current) knowlegebase is inconvenient.. but it's still for the greater good of their privacy and in my opinion effectiveness of whatever they do.

[–] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 minute ago

IMO usually a lot easier than learning Windows too. But I can understand them not knowing that if they've never tried. All they know about Linux is that it's nerdy and technical.

Vivaldi

Ahm, sure?

[–] Ton@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, was wondering about that. I’ve just installed it for the first time and while it looks OK, i’m wondering what the catch is.

Any privacy or security holes that one might to be aware of?

[–] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 33 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Just the usual one: it's a proprietary fork of Chromium.

[–] Ton@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Ah.

AI sure killed the motto KISS. Copilot for notepad is literally using a nuclear reactor to light a single bulb.

[–] Routhinator@startrek.website 9 points 2 hours ago

Gotta scoop all the data from everywhere on your machine, even the temporary notes you don't save.

[–] TORFdot0@lemmy.world 7 points 3 hours ago

The new moto is “keep giving me money stupid”

How wasting billions on AI accomplishes that goal, I don’t know but I’m sticking with FOSS apps and platforms just to be safe

Figuratively

[–] theblips@lemm.ee 1 points 3 hours ago

The use of "literally" is part of the figure of speech you're pedantically referring to. Saying "figuratively" would be redundant, as everyone knows Copilot is not a nuclear reactor, and also declaring that you are using a figure of speech "weakens" it (like /s for sarcasm). By saying "literally" they are saying "wow, this fits so well that this isn't even a metaphor anymore".
If you want to correct everyone for saying literally instead of figuratively, correct every teenager saying "I'm actually dying rn 😂" with "ackshually you're not ACTUALLY dying, as I can see you are still alive typing tips fedora"

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago

That too.
