Just for the benefit of other readers, Notepadqq is one of the alternatives for Linux. However, there are a few features I really wanted from Notepad++, so I have installed it using wine. No problems there. Hopefully some day we’ll see a Linux release.
This makes me suspect that the LLM has noticed the pattern between fascist tendencies and poor cybersecurity, e.g. right-wing parties undermining encryption, most of the things Musk does, etc.
Here in Australia, the more conservative of the two larger parties has consistently undermined privacy and cybersecurity by implementing policies such as collection of metadata, mandated government backdoors/ability to break encryption, etc. and they are slowly getting more authoritarian (or it’s becoming more obvious).
Stands to reason that the LLM, with such a huge dataset at its disposal, might more readily pick up on these correlations than a human does.
Honestly, I can’t blame them.
Notepadqq seems to be catching up to Notepad++. In my case the feature that I was sorely missing was the function list, as I am not a heavy macro/plugin user.
