I don't use Windows much, but when I do I tend to look for N++. It's a strong tool, and quicker to add to a new Win system than emacs. ;)

Why is it any more of an issue in software engineering than, say, a singer or actor publicly supporting a cause?
Those are even worse. Why can't we let political discourse stay in political spaces? That used to be the norm and everyone was far less stressed out and amicable for it. Now every space has become a battleground for sociopolitical discourse and we're drawing lines everywhere.
It was always like that. :) Artists, writers and singers did have political alignments and either benefited or suffered from them. In US-centric world post-9/11 reality may seem different and politically charged, but the rest of the world haven’t experienced the same “Belle Époque” as America in 1990s. And even in USA just 20 years before that plenty of things happened.

Why you talk about things happened few years ago? The act of terror occurred at least once per three day. >> From 2016 to 2018, Spain had the most court cases for terror offences (343) in the EU, followed by the UK (329), France (327) and Belgium (301). >> In 2018, 61% of verdicts for those cases in EU states were classed as "jihadist terror offences" https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-51560046
Just because the killing of van Gogh predates today more known 2005 event (1) the first publishing of the caricatures which Samuel Paty discussed in his class, and also significantly predates the mere existence of ISIS, while still being very similar to the 2020 murder. 1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jyllands-Posten_Muhammad_carto...
I am not sure that the publishing is the reason of terror. The terrorism is the reason of terror. If you want all thing that you do could be the reason for terrorist to kill you. The goal is not question of allow-ability for some drawing. The goal is to show you have to fear, you have to obey.

#134Notepad++ is written by an immigrant (non-french native) . In https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/a-propos-du-tweet-contre-... , the photo says: "Please uninstall Notepad++ if you voted for the National Front" (he was assuming the xenophobic party) Each release has a message on what he believes in: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news
WTF does this has to do with anything?!
The guy built a software everyone uses! You don't agree with what he believes in? So what?! As long as you are not "forced" to believe or do something you don't agree with i don't understand your complain!!!
He as his freedom, you have yours! Just because you like yellow it does not mean everyone as to like it as well.
Thank the guy, and if you don't agree with him appoint a debate with him thru some chat.......

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,…

Politics is an interesting domain. Everyone has an opinion. Most are convinced they know what’s going on, despite the fact that they lack the skills and knowledge necessary to evaluate the subject matter (math, science, medicine, law, business, economics, etc.) and absolutely refuse to do the research necessary to have anything approximating a valid opinion. It’s D-K at it’s worst.
I went through a phase of deeply researching topics in an attempt to communicate the realities and facets of many issues. After a year of nothing but frustration (and worse) I stopped caring. People take sides on these issues like picking colors. It’s crazy. It’s amazing to see just how attached they are to their chosen perspective while knowing so little and making no effort at all to research and understand.
One of my favorites is Climate Change. Both deniers and supporters are engulfed and fully invested in their respective delusions. This means the reality of the matter is in the hands of a minority with no voice.
The same brain that allowed us to survive in the wild is now driving mass delusion. We are still cavemen.

#137The killer features for me is the project management. I absolutely need the way it allows you to define virtual subfolders and cherry pick files from all over your file system rather than just adding everything from a folder as so many other editors do. Is there anything on Linux that would let me do that?

As a French too it is well known here that FN votes have a 5% basis of hardcore far right, the rest is mostly a protest vote.
the rest would be happy to throw immigrants out because "dey took er jobs"
FWIW it's this kind of dismissive attitude that brought Trump to power.

If I had a nickel for every patronizing rationale given for Trump's popularity, I would have enough nickels to fund that wall he wanted to build to keep the Mexicans from coming over and taking everyone's jobs.

#140Notepad++, has a platform to communicate their views. Does this us bother you? Would you in uninstall the product because their message is in opposition of your beliefs?
This reminds me of tech advocates with blogs and twitter were followers get very upset when the content creator steps out of an imagined content subject matter agreement.
