Ayr of the Four Winds (@Ayrwalker) reported from Birmingham, England@calligraphymmo @Volstatsz @WarcraftDevs @maelfus I’ve never understood the whole idea of “I don’t like it, so neither should you.” Sega Vs.

VibeDraft (@vibedraft_app) reportedspent the morning mapping the 90s internet buildout against the ai era, layer by layer. the rhyme is almost suspicious. 1. the protocol layer. tcp/ip and http were deliberately dumb, open, and free. they beat richer closed rivals (aol, gopher) on adoption, not capability. gopher died from a licensing announcement, not even enforcement. mcp is running the same play: simple, open since late 2024, adopted by every rival lab within months. the lesson transfers: protocols stay dominant only while they stay credibly free. 2. picks and shovels. cisco sold the routers of the boom and became the most valuable company on earth in march 2000. then the buildout paused and the stock took 25 years to reclaim its peak. shovel revenue is a derivative of capex sentiment, not end-user value. nvidia is playing the same role beat for beat, including the most-valuable-company milestone. 3. the capability curve. every app category had a modem speed where it became viable. text at 2400 baud, images at 14.4k, e-commerce at 28.8, napster at 56k. context windows, tool-use reliability, and cost per token are the new baud rates. the question that printed money in 1994 still works: what just became viable this year that wasn't last year? 4. the trust layer. this is the interesting one. in 1994 the web was read-only and nobody would type a credit card into it. then four boring primitives shipped almost at once: cookies (1994, state), ssl + verisign (1995, identity), online payments (netmarket 1994, paypal 1998), and reputation scores (ebay 1995). a controlled experiment later showed ebay's feedback scores earned sellers 8.1% higher willingness to pay. trust primitives, not storefronts, were the moats. agents in 2026: no portable memory, identity duct-taped with api keys, no native machine payments, and tool trust decided by github stars and vibes. we are standing in 1994 of this layer. all four are unclaimed. 5. discovery. yahoo hand-curated a directory. it broke at scale. altavista indexed what pages said about themselves. it got spammed. google won by mining a signal the web deposited as a side effect: links as votes. mcp registries today are the yahoo phase. the pagerank of agents, invocations as votes, does not exist yet. the internet's biggest fortunes came from the boring layer, built in the four years after the protocol went open. mcp went open 20 months ago. the clock is running.

Misharonmash (@misharonmash) reportedI tried to reach tribal IT via the website and they never called and I found via a computer tech that my number was blocked when he tried to call me . I’m scared. Michael and Yassine are two university students who when they were students they let me look stuff up online since the browser is locked to non university students but I never accessed it without them. I found one of their numbers in my notebook and I don’t writer private data like that down. Since then I learned via my bank about signing onto Google accounts on browsers at the library and how it stores info and I wonder if my data was compromised somewhere. But the weird thing is that My friend told me about cybersecurity. He was very helpful about being a protector about that kind of thing. It was Brad who left information out of things- like the many options besides syncing . Unless that did me a favor to preserve my data sowmwhere if people have been trying to change it . But it looked already changed in a way that it was hacked a long time ago like another version and the version of emails I wrote were overwritten. My theory is that becaue I’m missing soooo much allll my Google and aol disappeared I mean decades of correspondences was surprised that public libraries weren’t as secure as private university libraries. I thought public libraries would be more secure being public. Clearing caches and protecting data on govt websites is common a govt website doesn’t store passwords on its browser
