Twitter/X. It is not a free speech platform. Give it up and move on to something else. Stop supporting these billionaires and stop giving them your time.

If you expect freedom of speech and discourse on Twitter/x, you're sadly mistaken. You might as well start wearing a MAGA hat too.

Fuck Elon Musk!

Republicans started this mess. It's about time Democrats start fighting fire with fire and stop putting up with their bullshit. Do I agree with this? Gerrymandering should be outlawed. But you can't neglect a useful, effective tool used by your enemy.

Just a shining example of what can happen when you let religion run your life. You think Christianity would be any different? Think again.

As soon as that dumbass announced that she was running for governor, I left the state. I now live in a blue state and enjoy life more. There's no way in hell I'm ever going back.

I don't think you'll need to uninstall. If I'm reading the article correctly, it looks like they plugged the hole in their update process by switching hosting providers to one that's even more hardened and secure. So requests from the updater should go to the correct place now and not the state-sponsored hacker.

Then in about a month, the next version of notepad++ that is released will also properly validate/verify any downloaded update files from the server.

You could also just disable the checks for updates from within the application too. Or better yet, use something like winget to handle the updates instead of the built-in updater.

The fact that it made $7 million just shows people are fucking dumb and will watch any trash you put in front of them, and they'll pay to do it.
