About this site

The modern internet sucks and we should unplug it.

I’m not convinced that humans as a species are mature enough for the modern internet. The internet of yesteryear? Sure. But this centralized, social-media-only internet? Not a chance.

We’re not mentally equipped to know about all of the world‘s many horrors, the instant they occur, and the personal opinions about said horrors from everyone in your graduating class.

I do not need to know the relationship status of past coworkers at my first job. I do not need to know what you ate for dinner. I do not need to know who you hate. I’m sorry your parents were like that. Please stop posting.

The internet is causing us psychic damage. All this connection hasn’t improved any of our lives.

(Please pause here to check your screen time for today, or this week, or this month. Does the number of hours spent looking at your phone feel good? Consider factory resetting your phone and trading it to a stranger for a can of soup or a hotdog.)

We’ve got a system that streamlines the delivery of horror directly into your eyeballs, how do we make it worse?

Imagine a world where a few a few evil dorks control everything you see. They own the news, they choose which posts do and don’t come across your social media, they scan your face to train their AI, they track your every movement.

That’d be awful right?

What if those dorks use the horror-machine to steal all of the worlds art, allowing it to vomit out an imitation. Words, images, sounds. The dorks kill the artist and the horror machine grows.

You’re being tracked. You’re being tricked. And now they’re stealing from you.

So what’s CyberPuke?

This website intends to be half antitech ranting and half tutorial. Contributers consist of a few grumpy old nerds that have watched it all deteriorate over time.

New posts on Sundays only.

Don’t expect it to be every Sunday.

Hell, maybe we’ll turn the website off completely on weekdays.
