51·2 months agoI totally agree with you. I literally made my username “BoycottTwitter” because it’s so important and so basic.
The website you posted has a history of collaborating with other fake news fascist websites.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SouthFront#Disinformation_and_propaganda
In 2016, Finnish journalist Jessikka Aro described SouthFront as “an allegedly citizen-sourced project that looks more like a suspicious information operation”. Describing it as “a fascinating hybrid of revealingly detailed military intelligence and totally bogus stories”, she said that the site’s content centers on “the success of Russia’s armed forces, and showing off Russia’s weapons”.[13]
In 2017, researchers at Oxford University’s Internet Institute studied the collaboration of SouthFront with two US-based fascist fake news sites, Veterans Today and its sister site Veterans News Now.[14][15]
Philip N. Howard, one of the paper’s coauthors, told McClatchy DC that the three websites underlay “an entire ecosystem of junk news about national security issues that is deliberately crafted for U.S. veterans and active military personnel … a complex blend of content with a Russian view of the world – wild rumors and conspiracies”.[16] The Oxford researchers concluded that the three sites were more successful on Twitter than on Facebook, saying “on Twitter there are significant and persistent interactions between current and former military personnel and a broad network of Russia-focused accounts, conspiracy theory focused accounts, and European right-wing accounts.”[14] SouthFront representatives responded to a Politico story about the Oxford study with an email saying they had no connection to Russia’s government, adding that describing them as part of a Kremlin network was “contrary to the principles of freedom of speech and … discriminatory against Russians.”[15]

34·2 months agoHey Bubbles,
I notice you’ve been posting some articles from Sputnik news. Do you know about Sputnik news?
According to https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/sputnik-news/
Sputnik news is a right-wing biased website known for “Russian Propaganda, Conspiracy, Lack of Transparency, Some Fake News”. It’s factual reporting is “very-low” and it was created via a presidential decree by Vladimir Putin.

Technology@lemmy.world•Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to MicrosoftEnglish
13·2 months agoWindows 11 is a bloated disaster. I urge everyone to switch to Linux or one of the BSDs.
Also switch away from Microsoft Office and use LibreOffice.


This is good but no matter what I don’t think Google should have such a monopoly over the web.
