minus-squareJoelk111@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 month agoThat’s so dumb. The plus plus indicates its a new, better version of the Notepad software. Nextpad doesn’t exist, so nextpad++ makes no sense. I looked it up, and the default text editor on MacOS is TextEdit, so why not call it TextEdit++? I’m not sure why I’m putting in this much thought, they probably just asked AI to rename it for them.
