He wasn't a victim, he was The victim, that's what the commentor above tried to say, he was specifically targeted
English articles "a" and "the" are weird. I'll never understand them.
"He was the victim" implies he was the only victim. "He was a victim" implies that there were other victims.
What's your first language? All of the european languages that I've studied have this feature.

Wine? edit: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/373851/how-to-get-...
As far as I'm aware Wine doesn't run on Catalina. EDIT: Had no idea Crossover was so cheap. Purchased!
(I work there.)

Politely disagree
Even if they don't the notarization requirement is a strong first step to at minimum a games console-style licensing program, or further integration with the existing developer program. It would be nice for Apple to not do this, but if they can keep their ARM chips highly competitive it would be insanely lucrative to do so. Corporations are for-profit entities first and foremost.
It wouldn't be lucrative, because all the pro users (basically the mac userbase) would just not buy one. What's the point in getting one over an iPad?

...as someone not involved in that political fight, I slightly worry that this will serve as a distraction for him in future project development, maybe lead to a broken release or a dev path and force me to look for a new tool - zeal often crowds out focus.
...but hey, it's a free tool and he has the right to express his political views.
I persoanlly feel that publicly mixing work and politics is immature and bad for your resume, but to each his own.
I really, really wish I could run this program natively on macOS. Previously I had a windows computer for work (though I am a mac user generally) and this is the only thing I miss since I managed to get a mac for work. I know there are plenty of text editors available but Notepad++ just ticks all the right boxes for a simple text editor. Edit: CrossOver for mac (fancy version of wine) is way cheap than I thought (30…
Maybe the author doesn't want to "steal" the 30% of the Apple's future Mac AppStore revenue...

Absolutely not wanting to diminish the success of Notepad++ among its user base, I'd still like to mention that Notepad++ is a Windows only editor, where the main functionality is actually provided by the multiplatform editor engine called Scintilla , written by Neil Hodgson, and published since 1999 under a very permissive BSD-like license. The first version of Notepad++ was published in 2003. Neil Hodgson also main…
However, not to detract from Scintilla. It's a great project and has bindings in lots of languages[0]. I've used it to add editors to lots of bespoke editor GUI tools. Can highly recommend using Scintilla.
[0] the bindings might all be 3rd party, I don't remember clearly (it's been a while). Whatever the case, I was using it from .NET, myself. It was very easy to use.
I didn't know it was such an engaged project, a lot of their releases have a message: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/
The founder of the project even said once that he didn't want anyone voting for the National Front to use his piece of software.

I'm not French, but even if I were and were a NF voter, I doubt I would care about his political tweets let alone uninstall the software as a result. ...as someone not involved in that political fight, I slightly worry that this will serve as a distraction for him in future project development, maybe lead to a broken release or a dev path and force me to look for a new tool - zeal often crowds out focus. ...but hey,…

Wow that was unexpected. I wonder how many such stories don’t come to light
I'm not sure what you mean. This was headline news even in the US when it happened.
"Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende called for calm and asked people to let investigators do their job before jumping to conclusions. "Nothing is known about the motive," he said in written statement."
https://www.nytimes.com/2004/11/03/world/europe/dutch-filmma...
And even more context, the transcript of a 2005 speech by George W. Bush, mentioning that event:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/administratio...
"In a courtroom in the Netherlands, the killer of Theo Van Gogh turned to the victim's grieving mother and said, "I do not feel your pain because I believe you are an infidel."
And in spite of this veneer of religious rhetoric, most of the victims claimed by the militants are fellow Muslims.
BUSH: When 25 Iraqi children are killed in a bombing or Iraqi teachers are executed at their school or hospital workers are killed caring for the wounded, this is murder, pure and simple; the total rejection of justice and honor and moral and religion.
These militants are not just the enemies of America or the enemies of Iraq, they are the enemies of Islam and the enemies of humanity.
