FosseryWeb progress report:
I searched for some form creation services which allows file uploads (for the cheatsheet submission form coming in the next big update), found Formstr, which is a decentralized form creation tool, using the Nostr protocol:

I also recreated last year's User Survey, with some minor modifications:

(Unfortunately it doesn't work without JavaScript though, similar to all the other privacy-respecting options I looked at, but if you know any other service which works without JS, let me know, I'll take a look at it)
I also migrated the sites from the old Codeberg Pages server to the new git-pages. The domains didn't change, you should still be able to access the sites as usual. In fact, they seems to load much faster now. But let me know if you have any issues accessing them.

🖥️ Notepad++ sur macOS devient Nextpad++ après une polémique avec son créateur

Notepad++ sur macOS devient Nextpad++ après une polémique avec son créateur

Notepad++ sur macOS change de nom après une polémique avec son créateur. Le portage devient Nextpad++ et continue son développement.

JustGeek

Bon, le dev de Notepad++ n'est pas content de ce pompage de nom et il le fait savoir.

il s'agit surtout de la forme et ...pas du contenu.

C'est trompeur, inapproprié et franchement irrespectueux envers le projet ainsi que ses utilisateurs. Cela a déjà induit des personnes en erreur — y compris des médias spécialisés en technologie — en leur faisant croire qu'il s'agit d'une version officielle.
Pour être parfaitement clair :
Notepad++ n'a jamais publié de version pour macOS.
Quiconque prétend le contraire profite simplement de la notoriété du nom Notepad++.
Comme mentionné dans ma publication sur GitHub, j'ai déjà contacté le propriétaire du faux site « officiel », et j'attends toujours une réponse.

Comme a résumé justement mon collègue, ils auraient mieux fait de le nommer Textedit++ :D

Chose qu'ils se sont empressés de faire: maintenant le logo c'est une grenouille et l'app s'appelle Nextpad++
Le contenu est le même.
