I 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.
I 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.
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.
Hallucinations 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.
This 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.
Perhaps 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.
Explanation: An absence of signal is now the norm. People get automatically creeped out when you attempt communiction grounded in baseline reality, because everyone is trapped in whatever infinitely precarious illusory mode of being they've been conditioned into by their personal-area network.
If you so much as attempt metacommunication, such as "sup, our capacity for maintaining technical knowledge seems to be disrupted, what's that about" many people will immediately get offended "for no reason"; all their life it's been expected of them to perform competence - which LLMs are now the socially accepted crutch for! - rather than to cultivate understanding, and they're ready to sacrifice everything in the name of that way of life, starting with you
See also, that "void" thing zoomers rep a lot. Among other things, it's the sense of an irreconcilable disconnect between the human animal which desires to live, and the quasi-rational economic agent which the designs of societal affordances only ever permit one to be. So, someone took the volitionary component which is key to reconciling the two, and dropped it down some infinitely deep hole for us. That's the vibe.

Nice work.
Appreciate 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.

It is mainly from a bestseller book. You could get hint from this.
This is genuinely great. I love the focus and attitude (but of course I do). I might actually use this to keep tabs on things.

> The internet is dying, at least I can try and help
and you're using LLMs for the content...
How's it help?
What is it that makes all these vibe coded websites use the same font? Is there no way to change it?
Generally fantastic.

Nitpick: 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.
Nitpick: The "Light Speed Equiv" of the "Voyager 1 Progress Tracker" appears meaningless
Thanks I'll kill it. you're right.
front page has racial slurs, a link to goatse, and something crass about trans women. fantastic work /s

What about the man transforming into a horse, classic

i dont think someone could pay me enough to brag about this, but i love it for you.
Oh wow, it must've gotten much worse than when I looked. I assumed there were filters

It's been lost to Advertising for the longest time already.
Change is as good as a holiday?
This is 100% true. It's fucking brutal and depressing. But genie is out of the bottle now. Ill was born 1985. It's over.
The sad part that I think about is this cannot be explained meaningfully to most unsuspecting people.
