Comment on Microsoft's Notepad Got Pwned (They Added AI To It, So...)
random_character_a@lemmy.world 10 hours agoFor some reason I have a vague memory that the old notepad is still there. You just need to do a extra loop to start it. I’ll check if I can find the link.
It’s been a while and I’m a Linux user, so I didn’t really pay attention.

That’s pretty much the problem. You know how to work around the issue. I know how to work around the issue. Institutional knowledge doesn’t and just opens the application just like they’ve always done. I resolved this one by associating .csv files with Notepad++ company wide. Now this is a mandated change so they’ll grumble and get on track.
The real issue I have with all this is changing data without consent. It’s like the new Notepad is malware all by itself, doesn’t even need remote exploits.
And hello fellow Linux user :)

Wasn’t notepad++ just compromised in a pretty major way?
