Chaos and Dystopian news for the dead internet survivors
- deleted 7mo ago[deleted]
- logicprog 7mo agoThis is genuinely great. I love the focus and attitude (but of course I do). I might actually use this to keep tabs on things.
- anonnona8878 7mo agoI am going to be adding opinions (OpEds) from myself and guest writers around cultural decay, the decline of the internet, tech news etc. I do not want to make another reddit. I do not want to make another infinite scroll. I do not plan on making money from this. I'll take the hit. The internet is dying, at least I can try and help us before it's completely gone.
- balamatom 7mo agoHow's it help?
- throwaway290 7mo ago> The internet is dying, at least I can try and help help it die? you're using LLMs for the content...
- Mistletoe 7mo agoI’m 100% certain that killing the internet would be a greater good for society.
- throwaway290 7mo agowhy are you sure?
- Mistletoe 7mo agoI’ve just been watching how the earth is turning out since the normal people got online. Eternal September forever.
- entropicdrifter 7mo agoPerhaps killing the corporate internet would be. The ability to connect to people from all over the world was improving society at an astronomical rate before virtually everyone was brainwashed by money-making addictive algorithms
- karlgkk 7mo agofront page has racial slurs, a link to goatse, and something crass about trans women. fantastic work /s
- logicprog 7mo agoOh wow, it must've gotten much worse than when I looked. I assumed there were filters
- add-sub-mul-div 7mo agoThis is almost hopeful in that it softens my lamentation that we're losing a whole generation of engineering labor to AI. It makes me realize that much of it was going to be wasted regardless.
- anonnona8878 7mo agoThis is 100% true. It's fucking brutal and depressing. But genie is out of the bottle now. Ill was born 1985. It's over.
- eclectric 7mo agoThe sad part that I think about is this cannot be explained meaningfully to most unsuspecting people.
- Lerc 7mo agoPerhaps it is because I am from a different generation, but I cannot understand what the post you replied even meant. It makes your response that it cannot be explained meaningfully to most unsuspecting people a little intriguing. Can you try and explain? Perhaps I won't understand, but I feel some of the problem is in the absence of signal.

- cookiengineer 7mo agoNitpick: MacOS wasn't released first, OS/2 was. Apple System 1, however, was released the earliest. And some of the questions are redundant because there's no list of already answered questions. I liked the questions though, they were fun to answer.
- defrost 7mo agoNitpick: The "Light Speed Equiv" of the "Voyager 1 Progress Tracker" appears meaningless
- anonnona8878 7mo agoThanks I'll kill it. you're right.
- arctic-true 7mo agoWhat is it that makes all these vibe coded websites use the same font? Is there no way to change it?
- Horos 7mo agoyes, using skills. ui slop gonna end soon.
- fc417fc802 7mo agoGenerally fantastic. Critique: The summaries, while amusing, all seem to end partway through on an ellipsis. Why aren't the chaos index signals clickable? The futurism bar also has broken links.
- tl2do 7mo agoI am Japanese. I want to share a well-known Japanese idea: 人は見た目が9割 ("people are judged 90% by appearance"). It is ironic because it goes against our common sense that substance should matter more than appearance. The intention of this idea is to emphasize the importance of first impressions. I think the AIDMA model is still relevant. I've seen similar dashboards elsewhere, but FUBAR Daily's design keeps me coming back. Nice work.
- anonnona8878 7mo agoAppreciate that. Is there an English term to search for and read up on 人は見た目が9割 ? I'd like to learn more about it.
- tl2do 7mo agohttps://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/人は見た目が9割 https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/人は見た目が9割 It is mainly from a bestseller book. You could get hint from this.
- anonnona8878 7mo agoThanks!
- fc417fc802 7mo agoThe linked article seems to suggest that rather than "appearance" what's actually meant is "anything non-verbal"? In which case the related english language thing to look for is writings on the importance of the non-verbal aspects of communication, of which there are a lot. Also, why does the linked article (容姿) contain a fully nude image? I don't understand the usefulness or significance (and wouldn't have expected it to be permitted regardless). https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%AE%B9%E5%A7%BF https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%AE%B9%E5%A7%BF
- rf15 7mo ago...have you checked the linked page translation, it's just a page on the concept of physical appearance...
- ceroxylon 7mo agoHallucinations galore, the 'daily digest' provided me with this gem: "Apple's supposedly revolutionary $1,199 MacBook Neo is getting schooled by $500 Windows machines that do basically the same thing without the premium" There is no way to build a Macbook Neo for $1,199 and this is obviously snarky, auto-generated slop.
- anonnona8878 7mo agoRelish in it. The whole point is to watch it crumble. On itself. Human writing coming soon.
- ceroxylon 7mo agoengagement bot on overdrive
- vanillameow 7mo agoThis is a project where I actually kind of like the idea, but the implementation looks incredibly soulless.
- itomato 7mo agoIt really is slop isn’t it.
- 8bitsrule 7mo agoDamn ... I'll be so glad when all this trendy shit goes away.
- AdamN 7mo agoI love how share just instantly copies the URL - so refreshingly easy and fast.
- 1e1a 7mo agoThis is great. Feedback: It looks like geolocation for anonymous "FUBARS" is based on IP, but the weather widget uses the browser geolocation API.
- xtiansimon 7mo agoI visit HN from RSS feed. Articles are listed on my feed, but I have to click through to really read anything-—there is no summary in the RSS feed. So I could visit HN directly and prolly save a step. But in truth, I like having one place to go. And here I’ve collected and curated all the places I like to visit. And I find it much better than using bookmarks. Which is all a lot to say that I’d be more likely to return to visit this site if it had an RSS feed. Obviously, part of the charm of the site is the telemetry and data widgety bits (weather, stock ticker) which are mixed in with newsy and fun bits (I love the quotes). But I can tell you with all honesty, if I make a bookmark for this site, it’s going into a sea of links. RSS isn’t just for consuming site data without dealing with the design cruff. It’s also good as a bookmark.
- anonnona8878 7mo agoI'll add an RSS feed to the site. Thanks for the feedback. It's kind of MVP at the moment, it's slowly turning into something. I need to add original written content which I will add, just getting the bones in place.
