As others have pointed out, Slashdot is a classic site. It has been around for decades at this point and it used to fulfil the role that Hacker News does for me today: it was where I would go to see news about tech. It makes me sad to see that it has gone down hill so much since I last visited. Hacking the back button like that makes me not want to visit again.
