      the day I discovered notepad++, notepad became completely useless and irrelevant. it’s been years and years like that for me.

      these days, microslop is just irrelevant as a whole company

    an attacker could exploit the vulnerability and create a malicious Markdown file containing specially crafted links. If a user opens the file in Notepad and clicks one of the links, a script could launch, download, and execute malicious code

    Since when does Notepad launch links???

    WTF kind of stupid is this?
