On the subject of Foss and AI - one of the G summer of code projects is about integrating an AI voice platform into Neochat and I'm somewhere between bemused and amused by the lack of reaction from de KDE/Plasma community

It's almost like proprietary software is built to maximize shareholder profits above user friendliness

What are good Notepad++ alternatives that run natively on Linux?
If its the ui you are looking for there is notepadqq
There are better text editors. Swearing by that one is kind of a joke.
A must-be joke: vim
And seriously, Sublime
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!

VSCodium
Or just run the exe under wine. It's foss so i'm not sure why it's never been ported.
Notepad++'s performance is one of the main reasons I run it under Wine despite the filesystem annoyances. VSCodium is not not nearly as responsive.

What if the open source software is forcing people to see AI?
That's the neat thing about open source: you can change it!
It's like the difference between renting and owning. When you rent, you can't really do much. If you own, if you don't like the wall color, paint it! Or tear it down, or DON'T replace the carpets! Or take a hammer and put holes in the wall to see what's inside.
And, because it's digital, you can make a million copies or delete them! It's like a holodeck! You do what you want. It serves you!

It's all fun and games until ai is mad at you
i’m still mad at np++ for the version that supported the french media outlet that was an attack victim. not for that but for sneaking in an auto-typing text tab that looked SO MUCH like a virus especially since it was not in the original release notes.
Yeah the dev is notorious for sneaking in irrelevant political virtue signaling bullshit. I get that they want to do good to the world, but there are so many ways to do that without alienating your users. For example, partnering up with a charity. You know. Like VIM does.
