@Hollow-Brook The author definitely has the rights to express their political views. But to tide their views to their creation(s) which were created with another noble objectives (e.g. to make a powerful Notepad software for the general public for free) is basically changing their software’s objective to it. We as users can stop using them, but we won’t necessary know about the change in the software’s objective, especially when the update was done “automatically” without anything that says about this change. There was NOTHING for us to say, we support this new political view by using this software. The software simply does not provide a way for us to “say no”. This is why the software should be left alone from politics/human rights/any world issue other than the original noble objectives that gave birth to the software.
@Alan-Kilborn said in Is Notepad++ an anti-government organization?:
Downloading N++ means you want to use a good text editor, nothing more.
not so simple :)
but to explain this in English on an English-speaking forum in a topic not related to philosophy is bad manners :)
@storm-Perfect
Since no one has replied yet, I assume that the term “power mode” is not clear to everyone, at least it isn’t to me and I don’t want to reinstall VS just to find out what it means.
So maybe you can give a brief description of what power mode means?
@PeterJones Fair point. Thanks for taking time to explain that. It’s a minor nuisance and I’d prefer the developers spent their time on more pressing needs.
@Alan-Kilborn said in N++ makes registering to its Forum an almost impossible quest:
I’m sure Peter Jones will come along with his almost-FAQ-boilerplate
Okay, now it’s not almost-FAQ.
