  @ArrioHicko33777 @PrinnyCherry @Kari445009 long ago I worked for AOL. in the smoker break area an argument broke out between signups and support. Support was saying signnups are a bigger part of the problem because they were adding users. signups was saying support was the problem because they were keeping ppl on dialup.

  @Nasdaq @SpaceX Getting in on SpaceX 🚀 today is like getting in on the railroad industry in the late 1800s. Or, it could be like getting in on dotcom craze in the late 90s. I’m thinking back on AOL, WorldCom, Mindspring, and COVAD. Then there are always those Captains of tech like Kodak, and Motorola. Who eventually died on the vine because they just couldn’t keep up. Their boards were old and myopic and just couldn’t conceive of a future, other than what they were already doing. But $SPCX though. 🤔 Sometimes you just have to say, “what ********” and lay down a hundred grand, cross your fingers, and hope the best for the future. And the future for the next hundred years is going to be the exploration of technologies and space that we can’t even comprehend today. It won’t be easy, it won’t be slick and clean and shiny like some sci-fi would have you believe. It will be *****, cold, fraught with danger in the vast emptiness. Some will thrive, some will lose. Just like the “New World” explorers 300 years ago. There are no guarantees.

  @POTFES This is not accurate. The DMA, DSA, AI Act, and similar frameworks are not examples of member states forcing Brussels to overregulate. They are EU level regulatory projects, proposed, negotiated, adopted, and enforced through the EU institutional system. Member states are part of that machine, but pretending the problem is only national fragmentation conveniently ignores what Brussels itself is doing. And yes, a deeper internal market would be useful. Easier company formation, better access to capital, lower compliance costs, cheaper energy, and less fragmentation would help. But that is not the same as giving the Commission more power to micromanage technology. If American tech dominates, Europe should compete by building better products on honest market terms, not by regulating superior foreign companies and hoping European champions appear afterward. Markets are not static. IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Nokia, BlackBerry, Yahoo, AOL, MySpace, and many others once looked dominant in their own domains. They were challenged, displaced, or diminished because better technologies, better products, and better business models emerged. That is how real competition works. Innovation comes from builders, capital, talent, risk, and consumer choice. It does not come from Brussels officials deciding how platforms should be designed.

  @Wajson_Crack I was using Netscape back in those days. Netscape is a browser- like Duck or Brave or FoxFire- Big competition back then to be the Browser king between netscape and ms internet explorer, then AOL stepped in and acquired netscape as their own in their platform. The 80's was the mad rush to claim the Everests of tech. I was in IT back then- even did the in person lecture series for certifications for MS. GIANT 4-5 inch wide binders of microsoft crap -carried with you into hours upon hours of MS lectures. LOL

  I think David Zaslav will go down in media history, with Steve Case, as the two greatest salesmen to ever rip off clueless suitors. Case convinced Time Warner/Gerald Levin that AOL was far more valuable than it was, and Zaslav sold Warner Brothers Discovery for a ruinous price.
