Microsoft recently added Markdown support so it can handle things like bold text, links, and images. But in doing that, they accidentally created a problem where a malicious text file could hide a link inside it. When you open the file, Notepad might follow that link, which could then download and run harmful code on your system. So now, in the worst case, just opening what looks like a normal text file could put your computer at risk. Thanks Microsoft.

Great! That is the prefect question to ask and at the most appropriate time! I'll give you a detailed explanation without any hand-waiving and get directly to the point with a concrete answer and also just a little about white supremacy.
