So he pretends to care about Muslims because he hates Chinese more. Typical Westerner.

Really says it all

[–] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 28 points 6 months ago

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?

[–] AcidLeaves@hexbear.net 69 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 40 points 6 months ago (2 children)

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?

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 44 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The islamophobia goes right over their head like everything else.

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.

welp guess time to stop using notepad++ for all my modding needs

[–] Faresh@lemmy.ml 30 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I mean, you don't have to pay for the software, so it's not like you are benefiting them by using it.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 26 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

Better to stop altogether and be able to know what alternatives exist to promote instead through direct experience.

Forking Notepad++ just to release a version called "Stalin shouldn't have stopped at Berlin" stalin-joking

Omegle still says to stand against the “CCP” in favor of Hong Kong

Omegle

Introducing my tech startup called Blarcsw

[–] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 14 points 6 months ago

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.

Vscode. I realize text editors really just come down to personal preference but personally I would prefer to use almost anything other than notepad++

[–] ksynwa_from_lemmygrad@hexbear.net 13 points 6 months ago

When I have to use a text editor on windows it's either notepad or helix in a terminal
