    Why don't you all just use vim or neovim? Why do you need a bloated graphical editor?

    Yep. I use curl for website browsing and tcpdump for email read - the fastest way possible to get your daily spam.

    But unlike curl and tcpdump, vim is extremely extensible and can easily replace most graphical editors if you aren't just using the default settings. Unless you specifically need an advanced IDE, vim will always be enough.

  • It was only installer or also zip version?
    I kinda concern cause I always download zip version.

    It was updater. If you auto updated app - you have been pwned.

    It only attacked select people. The auto-updater sent the legitimate update to most users.

    finally I use Notepad--, it's fault too few for me, my os is too old( Catalina 10.15), and can't do upgrade(too old mac machine), many software can't run in my os.

    Just to note that the maintainers of Notepad++ have addressed the update vulnerability:

    https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/v892-released/

    On Windows, I've used Notepad++ for years without an issue. I know that there are other free text editors for Windows, but it seems to me that Notepad++ is still the best overall free text editor for Windows (in terms of ease of use and relative size/complexity)

    Note also that one can turn off automatic updates or that one can use the portable version if one wants to avoid the built-in update mechanism altogether

    I'll take a look but I jumped to SublimeText when the np++ dev annoyed me and I'm pretty happy with it.

    @ravi said:
    I quote from the website:

    Multiple independaent security researchers have assessed that the threat acotor is likely a Chinese state-sponsored group

    I read this too but discounted it due to the misspellings.

    Sublime Text is cool

  • Cudatext for the win.

    @jar said: Everything about this feels like “our website got hacked and the IPs resolved to China.”

    Provider in question is Hostinger. The domain has been resolving to Hostinger IPs for the past 3 years.

    Which website is this?

    for me, zed has problems. I'm editing remote/ssh - if i click a file to open, nothing happens visually until the file has been read llocally and only then does a tab/window appear. Vscode on the other hand, opens a window/tab instantly and then 'loads' the file into it.

    Haven't tried remote editing on zed as I don't really like editing files directly on the server but I can confirm vscode can do that

    I really like vscode personally, I've had to disable the AI stuff as I dont use AI in my workflow. I wish there was a vscode for ios/ipados/android, as I sometimes use my phone as a desktop with screen/keyboard.

    Did anyone resume development on Atom? I always thought that seemed neat
