Re: Lift "runs on GNU/Linux" requirement

[Lorenzo L. Ancora]

While Notepad++ is one of the best editors for Windows coders, its 
developer is infamous for his (very) questionable "Easter Eggs" hidden 
in the software from time to time and for the insecurity of his 
distribution channels.
From time to time I have to use Windows and I remember that one morning 
I executed that editor to take some notes and I got scared when suddenly 
it started typing by itself a message. Standard routine: disconnect the 
RJ, immediately reboot in recovery, run AV scans, ... but, soon after, I 
discovered it was a weird joke from the developer. I've read that after 
that he kept hiding political and sexual "jokes" into the code and, 
given one day he pretended to be hacked and after that he was really 
hacked by Islamic terrorist groups and he's also involved in political 
stuff, I decided to steer away because I thought "today its a jumpscare, 
tomorrow will be ransomware".
A few months ago, China blocked Notepad++ after he inserted a political 
message directly in the release name - message which I personally 
support and find right - but that created a severe disservice to end 
users. Very unprofessional.
