'Quantitative' social scientist (one of those people who work with surveys), working on social and political attitudes, and why at least some people some of the time try to do the morally right thing.

Moved to sciences.social in Nov 2024 to separate my social media life into work and personal interest spheres.

Very meta: Russian botnets spread fake Reuters videos claiming that the BBC is spreading fake AI videos about Ukraine.

It's all about poisoning the information space so nobody believes trusted sources anymore.

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.

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? 😭
