Notepad++ v8.9.6.4 Tiananmen Massacre Commemoration

Context: Notepad++ was compromised last year by a PRC state-sponsored group: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/hijacked-incident-info-up... This is not purely a cosmetic release, as it does contain a few fixes.

just now seen one such comment in this thread get flagged/removed but the Gaza genocide is always conspicuous by its absence in these discussions; conspiracy of silence on this needs to end if we are to entertain the notion that we're serious about the other human rights issues being brought up otherwise the hypocrisy just gives you whiplash. the selective outrage is just so galling.

That image (and moreso the video) is interesting in how much people read into it. Hard to really know the man's intentions tbh.

So many in the software world pretend to care about human rights for some kind of credibility that they're good people. I've seen Ukrainian flags all over GitHub on many profiles or repos but the same people will be silent on the atrocities happening in Gaza, Lebanon, etc. Notepad++ left a sour taste in my mouth when they did the same and now they're "commemorating" something that happened decades ago rather than call attention to what's happening now. Edit: here comes the Hasbara brigade with the downvotes.
