More people are turning away from news, describing it as depressing, relentless and boring, a global study suggests.
Almost four in 10 (39%) people worldwide said they sometimes or often actively avoid the news, compared with 29% in 2017, according to the report by Oxford University’s Reuters Institute.

A total of 94,943 adults across 47 countries were surveyed by YouGov in January and February for this year’s Digital News Report.
If I could afford a lawyer I would use for lying
Dang :/ I was looking for the option
Russia also helped Assad use chemical weapons in Syria
Russia also releases videos of using dropping chemical agents using drones
Massive war crime
Who will hold them accountable?
China’s treatment of Uyghurs is despicable.
The communications attack continued more widely as Apple complied with a government request to bolt the door on Chinese citizens by denying them the ability to download apps such as Signal, Telegram, Threads and WhatsApp, which previously could have been accessed through virtual private networks.
China has blocked every non-Chinese social app but gets upset when the ban of tiktok is brought up.
If that is how Beijing treats its scientists, its sporting heroes fare little better. Exposed by The New York Times and German television channel ARD, 23 members of the Chinese swimming team for the Tokyo Olympics were revealed to have tested positive for a banned substance prior to the games but were allowed to compete anyway because the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) accepted China’s excuse of kitchen contamination without an on-location investigation.
Trying to out do Russian olympic doping…it seems like a competition in it’s own right.
Trump’s unconstitutional appointments to the supreme court and the Clarence justice taking bribes means we will never have a unbiased ruling from the supreme court.
I wish that countries that are condemning cluster munitions actually send non-cluster munitions to Ukraine.
US isn’t doing this because they want to, but because there are no other ammo left and ammo production is still ramping up.
US nor Ukraine have banned them so no legal issues but regarding their use, personally it should up to Ukraine to decide if they should or should not use them since they are using them on Ukrainian land. I trust that Ukraine will limit them to certain scenarios against dug in Russian positions and not indiscriminately like Russia has been. Essentially it’s either use cluster ammo against or no ammo, because US/Europe has a very limited supply which they already gave Ukraine, until they ramp up production Ukraine needs at least something. But yes in a perfect world they would have enough guided ammo.
“Everything used to work fine before we started paying half a million per year,” shared one developer in a private Twitter developer group chat shared with Mashable.
A fool and their money are easily parted
They really should. There is very limited supply of precision munitions and US plenty of this type of munition.

Sounds like will affect 1/4 of youtube users. I highly doubt google would be doing this if it wasn’t getting in the way of making more money.
I can’t trust a single thing that pops up on google because everything is auto generated blog spam
And regarding reddit, moderation keeps reddit at a good quality but if reddit takes away moderators tools and introduces more instructive ads it will become low quality and untrustworthy as well
Microsoft has tied the attacks to Clop, a Russian-speaking ransomware syndicate. The hacks are all the result of Clop exploiting what had been a zero-day vulnerability in MOVEit, a file-transfer service that’s available in both cloud and on-premises offerings.
Of course it’s Russia, why not do something productive and contribute something to society? Or is their economy that bad that they have to resort to crime?
I really wish bluesky would open up their registration. The issue is many high level OSINT accounts are still on twitter. Mastodon has the issue of which server to sign up for which it makes harder for big names to join.
