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.

I'm just wondering then why Apple would even push this if a president was already set with Epic. What a bunch of greedy corporate bastards.

So couldn't patreon just argue in court that this precedent was already set with epic?

Good, a well deserved ass-beating to the Nazi-in-chief. Fuck Elon and his company.
