@王阿喵 I’m a new member of the forums. I’m sorry that statement upsets you. It’s a benefit of being a person where you won’t be censored, that you can say what you want. The bananas metaphor may just lead to a worse relationship, right? Open source projects can be copied though, and if you can get a few people to agree, you can start a competing open source product, right? May the peace of Christ be with you, friend.

@Deniss-Johanssen 虽然乌克兰遭到了毁灭，但则连斯基的人民得到了那些所谓的明主自由

@Aaren-Myatt said in Is there a We don't stand with Ukraine version?:

I don’t think labelling a stance on a war on a software download is very sensible.

The developer who has made this software possible clearly believes in the cause enough to attach it to his work. If that troubles you too much for you to feel good about using it, it’s open source software. You can clone it on GitHub and build it yourself with any changes you like.

@Terry-R I was referring to Notepad++, yes. I found an alternative, so it’s all good.

@AZJIO-AZJIO said in New slogan for Notepad++:

No to US biological laboratories in the countries they occupied.

No Guantanamo

No political slogans.

Notepad++, (and the forums by extension), should be focused on Notepad++, not the opinions, (objective or otherwise), of their respective owners.

If you want to support the Ukraine, there are lots of ways, and lots of forums to do that within.

If you want to support/oppose [whatever], start your own blog. Participate in forums that are dedicated to the causes you support, participate in your government, run for office, vote, just don’t whine.

If you don’t like U.S. policies, and you’re a citizen of the U.S., then get off your fat ass and vote! (If I had one dollar for everyone who DIDN’T vote this last election, I’d be a bazillionare!) Participate in your government instead of sitting on the couch whining and moaning. If you don’t vote and don’t want to participate, then you don’t have a right to gripe and I don’t want to hear it.

If you’re not a citizen of the U.S. - especially if you don’t live there - then you can write to the local Embassy, or talk to your own government leaders.

Everyone else’s whining and moaning 2>&1 /dev/null.

Yeah, notionally plugins have to follow all these licensing rules. But in practice, there are plenty of closed-source plugins out there, and it doesn’t seem like they’ve faced any consequences for doing that.

Everyone is fed up with the hamastinians and UNRWA corruption, please move on and keep your propaganda for yourself. There are plenty of discords you can join to share your brainwashed views.

There is no point other then taking users hostage of the author’s views.
As much as I (and we all should) support Taiwain in their fight against the fascist bully that the PRC is, virtue signaling has no place in software development.
I support the author 100% on Taiwan, but disagree at 90% on the Trump part.
This is wokism plain and simple, and it alienates more than half your audience. Author is French and should know better.

@KoliadaES-Release said in Your forum UI is non-standard and almost prevented me getting help.:

Nobody reads anything these days, esp. when they first ‘jump in`

But few proceed to just totally bitching about it; perhaps you’re a rare individual.
Going on a rant is fine, but it is best if it is an “educated rant”.

I’m sure that Peter’s recent effort (above), which is just more for you to read, is certain to be ignored.

@oleviolin

Nice to see someone else frustrated/confused by the organization here.

And in case anybody else sees this later… Reverting to the previous working version is another workaround idea. Assuming you need it now, and don’t mind working around the automatic update automation (if enabled for you).

If you can find a bug online they often will tell you when the issue started. Or you can just start installing from an older setup version and testing. Keep trying something older until it works again. Or use the last version you’d been on…

I agree. He is either a hypocrite or full of propaganda.

@Timothy-Hoogland ,
Although I may disagree with the developer’s POV, you and I have a choice of what we may want to do. If it offends you that much, stop using the free product.

I disagree with the developer, as someone who was being banned, long before by the cancel culture running rampant on, then Twitter, that I chose not to ‘apologize’ and let them pound sand. Simply for tellling Fake News reporters losing their jobs to “Learn to Code”, which at that time was considered a slam. No loss.

When Musk bought Twitter and changed it to X, I was able again to log on without the ‘Apology Butt Kiss’ document that you had to agree to. Although I disagree with some people’s opinion on X, I would defend their right to say it, something that I was not afforded when it was Twitter.

On the other hand, I enjoy using the software and if not for these “Boycott Notepad++” complaints, I’d most likely never see the download messages that the developer chooses to put his opinions on. I may disagree with him, but it’s his right to say and do what he wishes with his site, software, etc in his control. It’s also my option, if I chose, to let him pound sand and not use this useful piece of software by emulating the cancel culture idiots that I detest.

I believe in speaking with my eyeballs and wallet, something most people don’t seem to grasp or are unwilling to choose to do. So even if you’re willing to back-up your complaint by not using the software, you probably won’t affect the developers opinion and are considered simply to be, yelling into the wind. Either way, you’ve just lost the ability to use a very useful piece of software, which would be your loss.
