Usual mood: confused. Ingénierie à rebours & endless home renovation. I always enjoy a good walk down the page tables.

They finally did it. Microsoft has successfully over-engineered a text editor into a threat vector.
This CVE is an 8.8 severity RCE in Notepad of all things lmao.
Apparently, the "innovation" of adding markdown support came with the ability of launching unverified protocols that load and execute remote files.
We have reached a point where the simple act of opening a .md file in a native utility can compromise your system. Is nothing safe anymore? 😭

I've always wanted better tools to read and navigate—not edit!—source code.
For example, it's incredible to me that there is no iPad app that does LSP features plus bookmarks, navigation tree, etc.
Maybe now that LLMs made it more people's job to read code, we'll get good code reading tools?
