Its kinda telling when they didn’t put out anything for Palestine, an actual genocide going on
WHAT A FUCKING RAT
So he pretends to care about Muslims because he hates Chinese more. Typical Westerner.
Nope, even worse. A member of the Chinese diaspora born in Taiwan.
Lmao but of course. Not surprising that he’s also a shut-in since even the people of Taiwan aren’t that brain broken
Oh man
He just went and did that
What a fucking WEASELLY LIAR, DUDE
Punches desk (windows noise)
Really says it all
Not even just Palestine. Literally anything that’s been caused by the US since the inception of the software in 2003 lol.
There is simply no legitimate lib morality reason why you’d go from “Je suis Charlie” to “Free Uyghur” right? It’s so inconsistent. Hate Muslims when they’re in France, suddenly very concerned for them when they’re in China?
It actually makes perfect sense if they hate Chinese people more than Muslims
Because the concern for Uyghurs is never actually about genuine concern for Muslims
I know it’s not out of genuine concern, but how do they justify it to themselves? One year you’re cheering on ridiculously islamophobic cartoonists, the next you’re crying about Chinese suppression of Muslim culture with no evidence?
The islamophobia goes right over their head like everything else.
that didn’t take long lol
lol, technically I’m the chaser.

They had some “freedom of expression” thing going with charlie hebdo, “I will defend to the death your right to publish the shitty racist asshole” magazine. Charlie hebdo, as far as I’m aware, was mostly an edgelord shitposting rag with a lot of racism and hate, but libs thought it was harpers or the atlantic with some off color jokes.
Xinjiang I don’t even fucking know. I think it’s some “China bad, genocide bad, therefor china == genocide” and there really just isn’t anything else to it.

but these days people are openly saying that Charlie Hebdo deserved what happened and that without the attack it wouldve disappeared and been forgotten

The “Je Suis Charlie” thing was used more for fear mongering about how western civilization was under attack from ‘barbaric islamist forces’ or whatever than any sincere concern for the victims. The only reason that this got so much media focus and a hashtag and worldwide attention was that the perpetrators were brown Muslims and the victims literally died on the hill of being able to make racist cartoon strips no matter what people said. I quite distinctly remember my dad using the attack at the time to claim that Muslim countries needed western countries to help govern them because they were so backwards.
To be clear, I absolutely condemn the attack and none of the victims deserved to die in the slightest; but the way the media laser focused in on it and the way they spun the story afterwards was absolutely a racism thing.
the victims literally died on the hill of being able to make racist cartoon strips
Some kind of dedication to a bit
You’re extremely ignorant and clearly speaking out of your depth here. What repression are the Uyghur people facing in modern cities, amazing infrastructure, and a clean environment? Even the China Hawks have dropped the Uyghur genocide crap because they’ve understood how little impact it has to make bold accusations based on one antisemitic freak’s fever dreams, and contradicted by almost every single Muslim majority country that actually toured the camps?
Meanwhile, France has a new crazy islamophobic policy every week because they’ll take every excuse to persecute Muslims. Like how they’ve started raiding Mosques on loose, secretive evidence. The Je suis Charlie movement was only ever a fig leaf for islamophobes to attack Islam, much like the original Charlie Hebdo cartoons were horrifyingly islamophobic.

If they were against terror attacks then they’d support the PRC’s efforts to eliminate reactionary terrorists from Xinjiang using re-education, instead of the Western method of bombing and drone strikes.
Of course, liberals actually support Islamic reactionaries against communists though, 100% of the time.
also didn’t the CIA fund the terrorism?
yeah i’m (nominally) anti-terrorist, that’s why i’m anti-american!

From Operation Gladio by Paul L. Williams (p. 271):
“During the Cold War, a Pan-Turkish movement was unleashed by Col. Alparslan Türkeş, the Gladio commander in Turkey, who upheld a belief in Turkish racial superiority. He envisioned the restoration of the Ottoman Empire from the collapse of the Soviet Union, which kept the Turkish peoples of Central Asia in political and economic bondage. The Grey Wolves, the ‘youth military unit’ formed by Türkeş, were named after the legendary wolves that led the scattered Turkish tribes out of Asia to their homeland in Anatolia. This task did not seem daunting. Thanks to Gladio, the CIA had controlled Turkish affairs for decades. Çatlı, as a disciple of Türkeş, was an extremely useful agent provocateur—an operative capable [of] expanding both the drug trade and the strategy of tension within Xinjiang and Central Asia. Throughout the 1990s, hundreds of Uyghurs were transported to Afghanistan by the CIA for training in guerrilla warfare by the mujahideen. When they returned to Xinjiang, they formed the East Turkistan Islamic Movement and came under Çatlı‘s expert direction. Graham Fuller, CIA superspy, offered this explanation for radicalizing the Chinese Muslims:
The policy of guiding the evolution of Islam and of helping them [Muslims] against our adversaries worked marvelously well in Afghanistan against the Red Army. The same doctrines can still be used to destabilize what remains of Russian power, and especially to counter the Chinese influence in Central Asia
This policy of destabilization was devised by Bernard Lewis, an Oxford University specialist on Islamic studies, who called for the creation of an ‘Arc of Crisis’ around the southern borders of the Soviet Union by empowering Muslim radicals to rebel against their Communist overlords” (Williams 240).
“…without the Cold War excuse our foreign policymakers had a real hard time justifying our joint operations and terrorism schemes in the resource-rich ex Soviet states with these same groups, so they made sure they kept their policies unwritten and unspoken, and considering their grip on the mainstream media, largely unreported. Now what would your response be if I were to say on the record, and, if required, under oath: ‘Between 1996 and 2002, we, the United States, planned, financed, and helped execute every major terrorist incident by Chechen rebels (and the Mujahideen) against Russia. Between 1996 and 2002, we, the United States, planned, financed, and helped execute every single uprising and terror related scheme in Xinjiang (aka East Turkistan and Uyghurstan)’” — Sibel Edmonds, FBI Whistleblower
“And the third reason [the United States is in Afghanistan] is because there are twenty million Uyghurs, and they don’t like Han Chinese in Xinjiang Province in Western China [sic]. And if the CIA has to mount an operation using those Uyghurs as Erdoğan has done in Turkey against Assad—there are 20,000 of them in Syria right now for example, that’s why the Chinese might be deploying military forces to Syria in the very near future [never occurred] to take care of those Uyghurs that Erdoğan invited in—well the CIA would want to destabilize China, and that would be the best way to do it: to foment unrest and to join with those Uyghurs in pushing the Han Chinese and Beijing from internal places rather than external. Not saying it’s going on right now, you didn’t hear that [smiles], but it is a possibility. So that’s why we’re there and I’ll wager there’re not a handful of Americans who realize that we, our military, has decided that for these strategic reasons which are well-thought out, we’re gonna be in Afghanistan for the next half century” — Lawrence Wilkerson, Chief of Staff to former Secretary of State Colin Powell and retired US Army Colonel speaking at the Ron Paul Institute’s Washington conference in 2018

Well as we all know the best way to combat Islamic terrorism is to horribly destabilize Islamic country, silly China!
It doesn’t have to be connected to Islam at all.
Correct… it’s gotta do with geopolitical coverage and interests at hand
That being said, I must ask… when do you think the repression by China’s gov’t started and why did it start?
Just 2 questions…
us: you wouldn’t fed-jacket a text editor
the fed text editor:
batting a fat goose egg for 16 straight years, amazing
welp guess time to stop using notepad++ for all my modding needs
I mean, you don’t have to pay for the software, so it’s not like you are benefiting them by using it.
Better to stop altogether and be able to know what alternatives exist to promote instead through direct experience.
It turns out the dev of Notepad++ is actually against Taiwanese independence despite being Taiwanese himself.
Forking Notepad++ just to release a version called “Stalin shouldn’t have stopped at Berlin”
Omegle still says to stand against the “CCP” in favor of Hong Kong

Omegle
Introducing my tech startup called Blarcsw
Omegle should be worrying about a different CP on their website
Here’s the dev’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/ho_don
He uses traditional Chinese characters, so that narrows him down to Taiwanese, HK, and Macau. From here, 幹 is a dead giveaway the dude’s Taiwanese. Putonghua for “fuck” is 肏 with alternative forms 操/艹/C to get around censors, and Cantonese for “fuck” is 屌.
So is this dude all in for Taiwanese separatism? Not so fast. Here’s a tweet of him mocking the idea of Taiwanese independence. He basically posted the flag of the DPP to troll Chinese netizens, but he personally dislikes the idea of Taiwanese independence. There’s this tweet, where the joke is that Notepad++ is popular in Taiwan because Notepad++ is popular in China (ie Taiwan is part of China).
I personally think this dude is either a Chinese nationalist in the style of a waishengren boomer who thinks the ROC is the true inheritor of China’s 5000 year old history or just some contrarian dude who doesn’t believe in a Taiwanese national identity because all his peers identify as Taiwanese. Being a ~40 year old dude with the politics of a 60+ year old is kinda wtf, but this tweet where he bemoans people in Taiwan not sticking to Confucian values sounds exactly like what a waishengren boomer would say. Taiwanese separatists don’t give two shits about Confucius and want to distance themselves from a figure that’s represents the epitome of what it means to be Chinese anyways.
Ugh, I hate when developers get political.

GNU Nano when you need to take a break from the world.
Plain old vi when you find yourself trapped in Motorola PowerPC-based SysV POSIX hell and just need to tweak a hostname in a text file and oh my fucking god why is it recompiling the fucking kernel again
Vscode. I realize text editors really just come down to personal preference but personally I would prefer to use almost anything other than notepad++
When I have to use a text editor on windows it’s either notepad or helix in a terminal
Sublime Text is the closest thing while looking a lot better and implementing modern UI elements like a fuzzy finder popup.
Just use a real editor like (from easy to hard): VSCode, vim/neovim, (doom) emacs.
I alternate between notepadqq and GNU nano depending on if I need superuser perms to edit the relevant file.
Neovim or Helix. VSCodium if you need a GUI
Mmm yes, I too enjoy sniffing my own farts
This is missing the event from a few years back where Notepad++ was revealed on Wikileaks as being vulnerable to CIA spyware built into its libraries (supposedly since patched out).
Weirdly, I see notepad++ since deleted their blog post about it.Blog here, they changed their URL formats. Relevant partial copy here
“Vault 7: CIA Hacking Tools Revealed” has been published by Wikileaks recentely, and Notepad++ is on the list.
The issue of a hijacked DLL concerns scilexer.dll (needed by Notepad++) on a compromised PC, which is replaced by a modified scilexer.dll built by the CIA. When Notepad++ is launched, the modified scilexer.dll is loaded instead of the original one. It doesn’t mean that CIA is interested in your coding skill or in your sex message content typed in Notepad++, but rather it prevents raising any red flags while the DLL does data collection in the background.
It’s not a vulnerability/security issue in Notepad++, but for remedying this issue, from this release (v7.3.3) forward, notepad++.exe checks the certificate validation in scilexer.dll before loading it. If the certificate is missing or invalid, then it just won’t be loaded, and Notepad++ will fail to launch.
Checking the certificate of DLL makes it harder to hack. Note that once users’ PCs are compromised, the hackers can do anything on the PCs. This solution only prevents from Notepad++ loading a CIA homemade DLL. It doesn’t prevent your original notepad++.exe from being replaced by modified notepad++.exe while the CIA is controlling your PC.
Just like knowing the lock is useless for people who are willing to go into my house, I still shut the door and lock it every morning when I leave home. We are in a f**king corrupted world, unfortunately.
Otherwise there are a lot of enhancements and bug-fixes which improve your Notepad++ experience.
