Context i am sick and tired of the fear mongering, for the past 2 weeks i have been seeing *LOSS OF LIFE WEATHER WARNING* – *MONKEY POX IS IN THE UK DANGER* – *PUTINS GOING TO START WW3* – *MILITARY DRAFT FOR ALL MALES* – * NEW DEADLY VARIANT WARNING* – *NUCLEAR STRIKES ON CITIES* – *GOVERNMENT WARNS OF DIFFICULT TIME*
It’s just relentless, all day everyday where ever i look. its everywhere …. mobile, laptop, on bus stops

1. How do i disable this shit from my laptop
2. Wtf is wrong with the world
It’s like people feed off the fear …. seeing it all the time everywhere is just dragging my down and making me hate the world we live in
What can we do ?
Part of it is really depressingly simple. No conspiracy necessary (not saying there are absolutely none) but we are evolutionary predicated to focus on the negative. The news companies makes money by getting the most eyes on their ads. So spoon feed us headlines that gets clicks. Simple and depressing. I get you are tired of them.I think most of us are to be fair.
Unfortunately it seems to me that you can’t disable articles while leaving the weather and traffic in the widget, but you can simply remove the widget from the taskbar and check the weather and traffic through the browser (not Microsoft Edge because there is article spam there too) that’s the only thing that comes to my mind to avoid negative articles, sorry if not very helpful
I totally get what you mean. I recently saw documentary where was explained difference between staying informed and being manipulated and what informational terrorism is. One of the main points is that we consider as terrorism something that happened somewhere else, like 9/11 or any other tragic event. For example during the French Revolution, this period was known as the reign of terror because public executions became widespread in France in front of large crowds a person’s head was severed the guillotine mainly targeted dissenters those who deviated from the official stand of the time. The time and place of the executions were announced publicly in advance and people were gathered specifically to witness the victim’s suffering. However the main targets and victims of Terror were not the individuals under the guillotine, the main targets and victims of Terror were all the people gathered in the square and those to whom they would tell about it by witnessing the act, they experienced immense fear and dread and this made people even more controllable by those perpetrating the terror, in addition alongside the fear people felt a deep sense of Oppression, they understood that the majority of those who faced the guillotine were innocent punished simply for holding views that threatened the power of the terror regime.
So and this is done on daily basis to us and it also impact our health.
Most if not all of it is fake, so there’s nothing to worry about
