      There was never a massacre on Tian’anmen square. Hundreds died in various areas surrounding it in Beijing, but a lie was spread that, when the PLA had made it to the Square itself, they had slaughtered the protestors there. This is the “Tian’anmen Square Massacre,” except this didn’t happen, and even Wikipedia now finally acknowledges this if you check the page. This is why the tragedy is remembered as the June 4th incident in China, because the actual center of the protests, the square itself, was evacuated bloodlessly.

      OP’s vile views aside - this does seem interestingly politicized.

      I don’t know if Notepad++ have a history of creating commemorative versions. Good on them if they do. However, if this is uncommon, it’s worth noticing. AFAIK, we aren’t at an anniversary?

      Personally, I think acknowledgements of sad events are generally a good thing. Helps remember & learn from history. But they absolutely can be propagandized through strategic use.

      On another note, I really like Notepad++. I swap between it and Sublime. Both great.

        There are versions listed things like v8.8 “we are with ukraine”, v8.7.3 “leaving X for bluesky”, v8.7 “support Taiwans return to the UN”, 8.3.3 “make apps not war”, v6.7.4 “je suis charlie edition”, and lots lots more.

        Not every version has something like this, but a good minority do. There are a number more related to China. The author appears to speak English, French, and Chinese, with their LinkedIn being in French, so i assume either has Chinese ancestry/family or very interested in China

          You don’t need to be a mod to check the modlog, it’s public information unless the admin or moderator deems the content to be worthy of permanently purging, like CSAM links. In that regard, it would make no sense for me to “create a false narrative,” anyone that wishes to can see what you wrote by checking the moderation history of your comment. Just click the 3 dots on a comment and you can find it.

          Either way, calling people “dick riders” and telling them to “shove it up their asses” is only insulting by nature of drawing on social shame towards homosexuality. You can insult people, call them sycophants, etc. without resorting to homophobia and throwing queer people under the bus.

          You also seem to be a fan of racism and ableism, going by your other removed comments. Lovely.

      What is it with libbrain that they immediately reach for the bigotry when encountering something non-liberal?

    OOTL what does notepad++ have to do with that? Or they just like to be eccentric in their releases for marketing?

    Notepad++ gave always been chads. And still are. Kudos to them.

    I wish they acknowledge some of the Iran events in future versions.

        Murder of the 200 hundred innocent boys and girls by USA and Israel is definitely something to pay more attention to. Also, the things the regime did to people of Iran
