Sensationalized garbage. It's not going to be paywalled. Only the AI features are.

SaaS - Shit as a Service.

Welp, looks like Notepad++ will be getting a ton of new installs.
-
Not to mention it's far superior.
-
I think that's implied and why it will be getting a lot of new installs

I am so glad I left Windows.
-
Uhm WTF
-
I'm fairly anti-AI, but I can't imagine the use case for AI rewrite in Notepad. Word I can at least can see it, but Notepad?
-
I refuse to believe this is reality.
Imagine if this was the straw that broke the camel's back. Notepad goes subscription, and the world finally snaps.
-
Oh no they didn't
-
Sadly sets a precedent, even if they are putting their AI features behind the paywall.
That being said, the daily reminder that Notepad ++ and LibreOffice are better anyways, and if you want to get Linux most versions have Gedit at the beginning.

I just shrank my partition but Im just gonna delete it and fully swap to linux, idc if I run into isues anymore, I always got a usb to restart and 90% of what I do is online
-
Not that I'm using 11, but my response would be: Notepad? No thank you, I've got Notepad++. The plus mean it's better, and it's got two of them so you know it's really good shit.

And so, Windows as a subscription service begins. [typo]
