I was going to suggest Zed but it has Ai as well now

They don't shove it in your face though, they just offer a possibility of integrating AI through external services.

A more credible response would be

But FOSS is Malware! Everyone can see what I do tif I use it.

What are good Notepad++ alternatives that run natively on Linux?

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!

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

What if the open source software is forcing people to see AI?

[-] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago

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!
