Glad to see this and other efforts to keep X server going. I don't have strong feelings on the Wayland vs X debate, but the window managers I use don't support Wayland, so I'd like to be able to keep using them

One reason is population growth. Our current system is based on the assumption of an ever growing labor force to fund things like social security, medicare, fund our massive debt, and evrything else we want the government to spend on. In their current form, these systems will break down in the face of population decline. Since existing Americans are having fewer kids and trending downward, immigration is the only way to sustain the model.

This doesn't neccisarily.mean the is the best, or even desireable, way to structure society, but I also think the political system is dysfunctional to the point major change is currently impossible

I didnt down vote you by the way. Just throwing out a counter point to consider


Wow, the new interface is horrible.... They removed the ability to actually edit code in it? Not sure I will continue to use it


How the heck do they have over 173 models of cybertruck?


That’s not different models, that’s ‘173’ total RWD Cybertrucks sold.


Wish there was a Linux port too



No plugins? Those are what give NP++ its real power and usability - for example I use the XML and JSON pretty print functionality daily (on Windows, on my work machine).

Otherwise Kate or Gedit are just fine for Linux.


Yes. My comment above.


After seeing how quickly those hooligans re-wrote Claude Code in Rust from the leaked sourcemap, I actually made a spec-driven Linux port using Claude Code, Kimi, and Codex just to see if it was possible.

Frankly, I thought I was the only human being on earth who used Arch but missed the comforting embrace of Notepad++, so I'm happy to share the fruits of my ~$200 worth of tokens if there's interest!


I thought it runs well in WINE? Not that a native port wouldn't be better, but that's pretty good.


I used to use something called “notepadqq”. Not sure if it’s still around but it was a Linux port.


There's an official Notepad next, as others noted


callous indifference


The future looks bleaker by the day


"High tech, low life" seems to be most likely outcome for 21st century.


I’m so glad the company actually took him seriously and dedicated resources to recovering the message. Even in corporate hell, humanity still exists


>I'm not a hardware engineer, I've failed miserably in software engineering and now run a VPS host.

I’m curious how hard hosting VPS as a business was to get off the ground? I’ve worked 5 years previously as a Linux sysadmin, but am getting pretty bored at my current job (administering Cisco VOIP systems). Think I’d rather go back to that


Gigabit Ethernet require 4 twisted pairs i.e. 8 individual cables. 100Mb Ethernet requires 2 pairs i.e. 4 individual cables. At least in standard configuration


There is a standard for Gbit over a single pair: Single Pair Ethernet (SPE). But it's more of a rare automotive thing, so I'm also confused how the grandparent made this work.


Used on rockets too. Harnessing is a major contributor to non-payload mass.
