Notepad.exe is a 356 kilobyte file. You’re really so concerned about the data traffic that will come from occasionally updating a 356 kilobyte application that you’re spending your time arguing about it at length on the Internet? Do you realize how many bytes it takes to download and display this discussion here on the Fediverse is? Here on Kbin.social it takes 712 kilobytes for me to view it. When you click on the notification that this response is going to give you you’re going to be downloading the equivalent of several notepad.exes all at once. If you respond, you’ll likely re-download the whole page again for your browser to display it to you.
Complaining about the bandwidth usage that would come from downloading an update to notepad.exe is ridiculous.
I’m mainly complaining it’s a stupid ass way of microsoft making their bloatware tracking operating system complete. There is no good reason for them to put this stuff in notepad instead of, again, where it belongs and where 99.000 other features to juggle your texts around have been put before: Word, O365.
The amount of code required client-side for interacting with an AI’s API is a few hundred lines at most. I’ve done it myself, with actual real software projects, so I know how this works. There’s no reason to expect that AI integration would cause Notepad to become significantly larger.
Microsoft might make other changes, sure, but that’s a separate issue.
Here on Kbin.social it takes 712 kilobytes for me to view it.
And that is fine for a social networking app like lemmy/kbin. When I am using notepad I just want speed to view some text on a standalone machine, not a bunch of crappy bloat. Same for all of the other notepad users who outnumber people reading this by 1 million to 1.
