He admitted it was both sexist in poor taste and apologized. I think he owned up to it.

I'm not sure what you mean. This was headline news even in the US when it happened.

Maybe more context can explain the "unexpectedness": from the New York Times article covering the event in 2004: "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…

The NYT seems to have a history of such titles. The initial title for the article about Samuel Paty's murder was "French Police Shoot and Kill Man After a Fatal Knife Attack on the Street".

For those momentarily confused as I was, in English the title would be Notepad++ 7.9.1 – for (in memory of) Samuel Paty

I considered translating the title but the other Notepad releases have their titles in English so I guessed that the author considered important to have a French title on this one.

There isn't and never has been a limitation on installing mac apps from the internet.

Currently isn't... but Apple is moving toward AppStore on OS/X...

LOL. FUD strikes again!

There's no evidence that this is true.

Hang on. Do you actually believe that the author of Nodepad++ believes those things? If you don't, and you do instead agree that they are jokes (arguably in poor taste), then how can you even begin to compare this person to Front National, a political party made up of people who do believe what they say, and definitely aren't making jokes?

Oh, we’re policing humor now? Can you please send me a copy of the guidelines for internet jokes, thanks

If they block installation of non AppStore apps it will be a big mistake for them.

It will just make Linux and open source more popular again and Apple will slowly start loosing the developers and power users, again. Others will eventually follow.

Combined with already risky move to ARM, they have to be crazy to go that route.

I think digital signatures are purely a security measure, and the dev account requirements are a way to establish some kind of chain of trust to the developer, to prevent bad actors from signing up on the spot and pushing out tons of malware unimpeded.
