It’s pretty funny how the only causes he care about are the ones cemented in redditcore pop culture like the HK protests, Russia’s invasion, or other anti China stuff. He doesn’t even care about defending Israel or calling out the Taliban lol. Just straight babybrained key jingling shit.
That’s pretty funny you can easily deduce where he gets his info and that he doesn’t venture out of it, without any knowledge of the person’s habits, due to the level-of-interest and/or censorship regarding these topics on reddit vs wider media
two things: I changed my workflow to be less centered around a text editor (I used to use it as a scratchpad for notes on what I worked on each day and for how long, and todo items), and for actual text editing tasks I learned vim and other CLI tools better.
Honestly notepadqq is fine, but my workflow with using it as a scratchpad didn’t work because it’s auto-save and recovery was not as seamless as np++. If you don’t rely on that to the same degree I did and have an unstable, poor battery life laptop, then it is probably fine.
My issue was it only autosaves every x mins and then rather than auto-recovery on startup (aka just picking back up where you left off), you had to click through a “do you want to recover these unsaved files” dialog every time, which for me was 80% of the time when I rebooted my laptop. And there was a very annoying bug where if you had a crash, out of battery, etc. where notepadqq didn’t get cleanly shut down multiple sessions in a row, the “do you want to recover” dialogs wouldn’t get cleared out each time, they would multiply and pretty soon I was clicking through dozens or more before it would open and then manually saving, closing, and reopening, to clear out the “queue” or whatever or recovery files.
Don’t look at the opinions of the dev behind Notepad++!

Techbro fascists? Many such cases.
I seriously switched because I was fed up with the choice of messaging. Xnedit isn’t great, but it does have a delightfully 1994 aesthetic.
I switched like 7 years ago because their idea of linux support is “just run it in WINE” (and notepadqq is not a great substitute)
fuck that noise
What are you using now? Every few months I go on a binge of trying new text editors and file managers.
