minus-squareDoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up38·2 years agoMan fuck Microsoft. Killing a free app and replacing it with a paid app that has a subscription bundled. What the actual fuck!!?
minus-squarePutangInaMo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up32·2 years agoIt’s word pad though, do you really ever use it? I use notepad for a quick temp fix in a pinch, I haven’t used word pad in like 15 years.
minus-squarePutangInaMo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 years agoHonestly if I need to format, that gets done in the app that I’m going to send whatever text. Whatever goes into notepad for me will either get deleted, go into notepad++, or whatever app I’m going to send it (office). Sounds like you could benefit from replacing WordPad with Notepad++.
minus-squarePutangInaMo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 years agoWow really? What for? I’ve seriously never heard of or seen somebody use it.
minus-squarebemenaker@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 years agoWhen I need to copy something from instructions out of a doc file, so much faster to open copy and close before word even opens
minus-squarePutangInaMo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 years agoOh yeah I’m not saying use word. Notepad++ or the native sticky notes are both good alternatives for WordPad.
minus-squarebemenaker@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 years agoFair point, I do use n++ a lot
minus-squareButtons@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·2 years agoI’ll be editing PDFs with standard Mac software that comes with the OS while Windows charges a fee to edit text files.
minus-squaremacrocephalic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13·2 years agoYeah but you need to install an app from the apple store if you want to tile your windows on your screen, or turn off mouse scroll acceleration. There’s a lot of stuff each has which is missing from the other.
minus-squarelearningduck@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 years agoDo people using wordpad for anything productive? There’s notepad and if I want anything fancy, either use libreoffuce or MS’s online MS Word.
minus-squareUniquitous@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·2 years agoYou… have heard of Microsoft before now, yes?
