    Fortunately this has already been patched but still, what a fuckup

      Well the situation explained is a glaring oversight assuming the average Windows user’s opsec common sense, but I’m amazed Notepad isn’t auto-running every single linked file automatically during parsing

        they let Copilot run tests and it all passed, no worries

    And take even longer to launch than it already does. I restore the classic Paint, Notepad and Snipping Tool from Windows 10 on my Windows 11 machines because they launch instantly and don’t have AI slop baked into them. You can uninstall the “new” versions of these apps that come with Windows 11.

    This would be nice if they hadn’t also included AI slop into it.

    Or I could just use the same version of notepad++ I’ve been using for idk how many years.

    Fuck microslop and they lack of testing on anything they push out.

    It’s a text editor how could it not support markdown?

    • NachBarcelona@piefed.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      most simple text editors do not support markdown.

    I thought it already did, and that’s why it was dangerous.

    A headline and some bulletpoints, wow.

    Wake me up if it supports pretty code syntax highlighting (like Dillinger), internal linking (like Silverbullet or Obsidian), tagging, table of contents for headlines and a proper advanced search for content.

    It doesn’t even need to have the advanced stuff like graphs, content embedding, scripting and themeing.

      frankly I think that even the markdown support is too much for notepad. it’s supposed to be a raw text editor, why does it need new features? It was a finished product already

      It’s strange because Notes.app currently supports it.
