    Looking at the votes, I would say the mass propaganda succeeded :-( Incredible that people still haven’t caught on to the Epstein class’ wild propaganda campaigns.

    …or maybe it’s just too embarrassing to admit to being fooled ? Shouldn’t be, US propaganda apparatus is huge and its hard to double-check everything !

    However; Rule of thumb, if the Epstein class via msm/socials/renowned western NGO’s told you something, then the opposite is true. If they benefit from it it any way, it’s a lie. If it’s negative about an US ‘enemy’, its a lie. The amount of misinformation/hate thrown to western citizens - especially Mericans - are insane. ALL western news and history is a rich man’s fairytale hiding their psychopath wars and conflicts for money and power.

    Every year that passes makes it funnier that westerners are still bullshitting about tinyman square, gotta go back 40 fucking years to find material to criticize China, meanwhile the US and our lackeys have been killing people the whole time and are committing an actual non-fiction genocide right now

      There was never a massacre on Tian’anmen square. Hundreds died in various areas surrounding it in Beijing, but a lie was spread that, when the PLA had made it to the Square itself, they had slaughtered the protestors there. This is the “Tian’anmen Square Massacre,” except this didn’t happen, and even Wikipedia now finally acknowledges this if you check the page. This is why the tragedy is remembered as the June 4th incident in China, because the actual center of the protests, the square itself, was evacuated bloodlessly.

      OP’s vile views aside - this does seem interestingly politicized.

      I don’t know if Notepad++ have a history of creating commemorative versions. Good on them if they do. However, if this is uncommon, it’s worth noticing. AFAIK, we aren’t at an anniversary?

      Personally, I think acknowledgements of sad events are generally a good thing. Helps remember & learn from history. But they absolutely can be propagandized through strategic use.

      On another note, I really like Notepad++. I swap between it and Sublime. Both great.

        There are versions listed things like v8.8 “we are with ukraine”, v8.7.3 “leaving X for bluesky”, v8.7 “support Taiwans return to the UN”, 8.3.3 “make apps not war”, v6.7.4 “je suis charlie edition”, and lots lots more.

        Not every version has something like this, but a good minority do. There are a number more related to China. The author appears to speak English, French, and Chinese, with their LinkedIn being in French, so i assume either has Chinese ancestry/family or very interested in China

    OOTL what does notepad++ have to do with that? Or they just like to be eccentric in their releases for marketing?

    The Wikipedia page mentions that the massacre didn’t happen directly on the square, but in an ally next to it. Most deaths happened in other parts of the city. Choosing a name that is not 100% accurate is not fascist propaganda.

    Notepad++ gave always been chads. And still are. Kudos to them.

    I wish they acknowledge some of the Iran events in future versions.
