A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Sublime Text is really good too. It is a paid app but the free version just has a message suggesting you might want to support them by paying that pops up every 10 manual saves. And you don't need to save more than once per file since it autosaves on every character. WinRAR style basically. I rarely see the message myself.
