I've been trying to download the update, but it keeps timing out. Is China ddosing you? :)

Does this version actually do anything for the Uyghur cause or is the blog article the extent of it? I read the article and there is an external link but I didn't see anything about how this version helps in any way other than raising awareness.

2018 - strongly opinionated text-editor means one thing. 2019 - strongly opinionated text-editor means something entirely different.

Times out here too.

Even if the webpage seems to be under CloudFlare DDOS protection. I guess the binaries are not covered?

Is this the most socially aware text editor? From the homepage:

> By optimizing as many routines as possible without losing user friendliness, Notepad++ is trying to reduce the world carbon dioxide emissions. When using less CPU power, the PC can throttle down and reduce power consumption, resulting in a greener environment.
