@trickster This is like that holocaust quote I really like.

"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."

@trickster it's a really neat thing to me when established software like notepad++ makes statements like these, because it seems like predominantly I see existing software being shitheads or just keeping a "neutral stance" and having people start new projects because of that

@trickster it’s a calculated risk to take a stance on politics as a software company, you have to decide which customers you’re willing to lose.

@trickster
Literally nobody will give two shits when I'm oppressed. I know this because I've been oppressed, and nobody cared.

Given that, I've got shit to do.
