    These are good alternatives for Microsoft’s Notepad and Paint:

    1. For Windows:
    1. For Linux (and other operating systems):
    • KWrite (or Kate if you want to have more advanced features like Git integration, project explorer, extensions, etc.)
    • Pinta (it recently got a pretty good 3.0 update, with GTK4/Adwaita integration)
  • Fijxu@programming.dev

    Man, does ANYONE needs this? Probably no one. This addition is just another way to force people to use AI so they can gather more personal information about that person. Specially with Notepad.

    Will people be able to do thing without AI on the future if it’s being pushed so hard on everything? Like, they want to make our brains smoother and dumber lol

    I truly can’t fathom why microsoft are so bad at these things. I actually like the photos “app” on windows but it recently updated to instead of allowing cropping and rotating to having a colourful button for “edit in designer” which doesnt open anything, creates a blank photos window and crashes.

    They are so bad at improving customer experience. I have an opportunity next month with our cto and cio and I am hoping to get across just how shitty they are to deal with and interact with.

        We are saving literal millions a yeae by moving from google. Its a bottom line decision, the best I can hope for is to colour their view to hold the opinion against the savings in discussions down the line.

        Sharepoint overcomplicates everything.

    Switched to Linux Mint at home, quit my Windows developer job, and having a great time. I’ll never go back.
