Hacker News Reader

That said, there are still good web sites, you can browse them:

http://gnu.org http://fsf.org http://stallman.org http://gutenberg.org http://cliki.net http://informatimago.com

Perhaps there's a pattern in there...

Not to mention this very site, which still works fine on my 2011 Thinkpad x120. That being said, I have the same feeling. I can run a modern web browser because I use Arch, but it's slow and my poor old thinkpad gets very hot when I try to view the internet. Sites I avoid: most news outlets, all social networking sites. Sites I visit: this site, aldaily.com, software project websites and documentation, various technical fora. There's still a good internet out there, I just can't participate in the mainstream internet on my old laptop.

Hey, these pages open fine in my old browser and that's cool enough for me. As for the pattern… I need the help of some AI for I am slow at pattern recognition :D
