I'm extremely wary about any application pushing politics.

I subscribe to MacPaw, who makes excellent apps like Setapp, Gemini, and CleanMyMac, all of which I use.

At some point, CleanMyMac started putting the Ukranian flag on the app icon and flagging utilities by any Russian developer as untrustworthy (because they are russian), and recommended that I uninstall them.

I am not pro russia/anti-ukraine independence by any means, but CleanMyMac is one of those apps that require elevated system permissions. Seeing them engage in software maccarythism makes me very, very hesitant to provide them.

Sorry, what does this have to do with notepad++?

>>_alter+F3
The notepad++ author has publicly come out in favor of Taiwanese independence.

>>stackg+I3
Taiwan is already independent. Surely the normal way to refer to it would be as coming out against assimilation with mainland China?

>>permo-+D4
>Taiwan is already independent.

That is a very controversial statement, and one that both Taipei and Beijing disagree with.

Controversy doesn't change the reality. Stating that Taiwan is not independent is political posturing. Look to French Guiana, which is not independent.
