You know what's free (as in beer and speech) and not being enshittified? Notepad++

This is not enshittification. Here's where the term came from:

Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. I call this enshittification

In what way is adding an AI assistant to Notepad either "abusing their users" or "abusing their business customers?" It seems like it's just a useful new feature to me, that's still in the "be good to your users" phase.

(I really hate the Reddit-style overuse of that word.)

Shockingly, I don’t know that one! I thought I read FIFO before rereading that.

“Fuck around and find out” for everyone else who didn’t know.

Ahhhh THAT overused phrase. Of course we’d have to acronym/initiaism it.

At least we don’t (yet) have PSGWSP. Ugh it felt gross typing that.
