Once you go Notepad++ you never come back

Woohoo! We’re gonna party like it’s 1992.

Or I could just use the same version of notepad++ I’ve been using for idk how many years.
Fuck microslop and they lack of testing on anything they push out.

And take even longer to launch than it already does. I restore the classic Paint, Notepad and Snipping Tool from Windows 10 on my Windows 11 machines because they launch instantly and don’t have AI slop baked into them. You can uninstall the “new” versions of these apps that come with Windows 11.

The fact you need a guide to get a working Notepad and Paint back says everything about the state of Windows 11 and Microsoft.

So why did the get rid of Wordpad?
helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Word pad had too many features, people could use that instead of word.

It’s a text editor how could it not support markdown?
NachBarcelona@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
most simple text editors do not support markdown.

The innovation powerhouse ladies and gentleman 🤣 bravo ms (slow-clap…)

This would be nice if they hadn’t also included AI slop into it.

I thought it already did, and that’s why it was dangerous.

Wait, this is old news.

A headline and some bulletpoints, wow.
Wake me up if it supports pretty code syntax highlighting (like Dillinger), internal linking (like Silverbullet or Obsidian), tagging, table of contents for headlines and a proper advanced search for content.
It doesn’t even need to have the advanced stuff like graphs, content embedding, scripting and themeing.

frankly I think that even the markdown support is too much for notepad. it’s supposed to be a raw text editor, why does it need new features? It was a finished product already

I wish TextEdit supported markdown 🥹

Fortunately this has already been patched but still, what a fuckup

Jesus fucking christ so the fucking idiots really full on dont even try to test any of the shit they facefuck into 1.4 billion innocent pc’s with every update they release.

they let Copilot run tests and it all passed, no worries

Well the situation explained is a glaring oversight assuming the average Windows user’s opsec common sense, but I’m amazed Notepad isn’t auto-running every single linked file automatically during parsing

That feature was moved to displaying icons (this is old stuff, don’t worry)
