A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
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!
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.
What are good Notepad++ alternatives that run natively on Linux?
VSCodium
Or just run the exe under wine. It's foss so i'm not sure why it's never been ported.
If its the ui you are looking for there is notepadqq
I use Zed Editor on a daily basis even though they push AI in it (it's purely opt-in, thankfully)
For alternative software, I usually ask AlternativeTo : https://alternativeto.net/software/notepad-plus-plus/?platform=linux&license=opensource
Edit: Some people seem to disagree and I'd like to know if it's related to Zed, AI in Zed or AlternativeTo, thanks in advance!
I'd say Kate
Kate is great. I even use it on Windows instead of n++
Depends on what you want to do. I'm a dirty vim user and use nvim in the terminal. There are a lot of text editors though.
You won't find a 100% replacement because npp has a bunch of very specific plugins, but often those plugins would be unnecessary on Linux because you already have other utilities that perform those jobs. You don't need a plugin to ssh into a server to edit files when you've got sshfs for example.
Anyway you can use Geany on Gnome or Kate on KDE.
Why are the robots making art? Why are the humans packing the boxes?…
MO: Make high cost human low cost human
Because development of mechanical devices does not hype investors nearly as much
Put googly eyes on the robot and name it Steve. Tell investors it's intelligent. Tell them you can have sex with it. You'll have so much money.
You could replace the reactor core of a small nuclear plant with Lemmy users hearing the letters "AI".
A more credible response would be
But FOSS is Malware! Everyone can see what I do tif I use it.
The FOSS understander has entered the chat
If you would actually turn on your last 2 Braincells, you would understand that this joke came from my own experience recommending foss software to people.
My dude, you can be mad at AI and use a FOSS alternative - best of both worlds
Yea, not everything is a binary choice.
What people really want is to not have to change anything - neither about their lives, nor about themselves.
They want to live in a perpetual 2005 where Windows is forever usable and still just an operating system. Where they feel happy and comfortable in their environment and their skills and abilities.
And I get that, because I feel it too.
But sometimes you have to change yourself, in order to change your world.
I mean if you’re dead set on it you can get a lot of modern things running on windows xp, chromium browsers, dx10/11 games, discord, etc. it’s a nightmare and you’ll have a ton of headaches (especially with the dx10/11 stuff, apparently, I’ve never tried any of this) but it’s possible
There are also hacked/modified XP builds floating around based off the source code leaks that backport some of the modern Windows OS features.
Still not an "easy" experience though.
At that point just use Mint. Isn't it designed to feel like Windows 7?
