What a mess. It looks like a mix of government propagandists and anti-government activists.
The lead dev of Notepad++ does this political stuff a lot and should understand what the results will be. I guess that's what he's decided to do with his time.
- ISL 7y agoStanding up for causes in which you believe is a good use of time.
- metalliqaz 7y agoAgreed. I never said it was bad. Just that he will have to clean up the mess.
- SolaceQuantum 7y agoIf I was a lead dev of a widely used program there is definitely power in my position to be the voice of demographics I believe are being silenced. Although I wonder if the logistics means that China cannot use Notepad++'s latest release? (Admittedly, I think the release just adds it in...)
- baq 7y agoI think you’re underestimating the dev if you think he didn’t know what could happen.
- metalliqaz 7y agoI think he would already know from experience. He's dealt with controversy before. https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/apology-for-sexist-jokes/ https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/apology-for-sexist-jokes/
