I love how every time I read a “Critical” vulnerability in Linux it’s essentially “The user must leave their computer completely unlocked in an accessible area for a long period of time. Also he needs this very specific combination of programs running in these specific versions. Ah, and the planets have to be aligned for it to work. If all of these happen, an attacker might glimpse at your desktop wallpaper, so definitely critical”.
My first reaction would be to acknowledge them as a fellow geek, but that’s because most of the people who live near me would hurt themselves trying to open Notepad. Anyone who knows enough to start hacking my config files would be a welcome guest in my house.

not trying to sound like an internet badass but if I find someone in my home fucking with my config files I will kill them with a hammer
I would at the very least break their fingers if they touch my keyboard.
No hammer needed…
This made me think of a custom keyboard with a mousetrap arm at the top to break the fingers of would-be typers.
Mousetrap keyboard + Suicide Linux
But I bet it’s more fun with a hammer.
But you could damage the keyboard
That’s collateral damage I’m willing to risk 🤣

Then I’d kill them with a hammer. :-)
