Notepad on Windows 11 is finally getting a character count::Microsoft is finally adding a character count to Notepad on Windows 11. It’s in testing alongside the ability to hide the news feed in the widgets panel.
People use Notepad?
When Notepad++ exists?
Hardware requirements: 1.8 GB of storage 12.5 GB of RAM
It also has tabs and maintains all text entered with out saving it. Meaning they e copied notepad++
I have to use windows for work and I noticed this the other day.
Disgusting! I want my original Notepad with 65535 ASCII only character limit back!
I mean it’s a good change, but it doesn’t exactly overcome all the bloat, spying, MS messing with your settings, inconsistencies, dark patterns, and ads in Windows.
E: presumably the downvoters love ads and data harvesting? You do you lol

What a fucking pathetic flex
Microsoft is so incredibly desperate to stop people from installing Linux that they’ll do everything other than making a good operating system or anything else that matters
No, they’re really not. When was the last time you looked up the stats for household OSs being used?
Google Argumentum ad Populum
You might want to consider improving your understanding of this a little bit before dropping it in the chat.
The argument is basically that Windows is the most popular operating system so it should be the best or be good quality and ignores the fact that Microsoft shoves Windows down peoples throats. They have no incentive to make Windows better because OEMs will ship it anyway (ex: Vista and Windows 8).
First commenter: Microsoft is worried about the threat Linux poses to Windows.
Second commenter: No they aren’t, look at usage stats.
You: Guys, I’ll have you know that a lot of people liking something doesn’t necessarily mean it is better.
Even that argument makes no sense, look up the Microsoft Holoween documents.
Again, nobody can force you to stay on topic, but responses comprised of random, tangentially related shit will never be particularly compelling.
I doubt Microsoft even thinks about Linux as a competitor in the consumer space. People on Lemmy are seriously delusional about how many people use or even know about Linux.
Look up the Microsoft Holoween documents
I thought wordpad was going away.
