  All those years ago when listening to the pings of AOL signing in I never expected the net to become such an ******* full of argumentative ********.

  @calligraphymmo @Volstatsz @WarcraftDevs @maelfus I’ve never understood the whole idea of “I don’t like it, so neither should you.” Sega Vs. Nintendo died out years ago with AOL chatrooms (HAHA JOKE ON MATURITY HERE) People neee to let it go and be happy that everyone can find their niche and BE HAPPY! Be a Joy Enabler.

  @citizentvkenya Sorry to say but Prof has gone AOL for too long genuinely focusing on Kisumu County which is full of insecurity though. I have no personal problem with Prof but Vision 2060 can only be real if we do the basics right.

  @AOL The AOL 'news' has become very right-wing. It used to be fairly unbiased but now it's as bad as GB News.

  @KieranWrites $$$ and the fact YouTube still gets more content uploaded in 10 mins than you can watch in a year means it's pretty much impossible to compete. The real issue is DMCA is from 1999. Internet has changed from the AOL free Internet disc days.

  The WWF AOL page. So cool. Live chats with wrestlers, a trivia game I was so good at people would spam IMs to slow me down. Good stuff.

  Bending Spoons is the most interesting acquisition machine in tech right now, and the more you dig into it... The weirder it becomes. They buy aging digital brands that still have users and brand recognition but have lost their edge, think Evernote, WeTransfer, Vimeo, Meetup, AOL, Eventbrite, and a pile of others. Then they do the thing almost nobody else has the stomach for: they gut the headcount hard, move operations onto their own centralized platform, raise prices, tighten free tiers, and run the products with a much smaller team of their own people (“Spooners”). The original staff is mostly gone. In some cases the entire original team was shown the door. Imagine... Entire staff gone! Mosaic: 330 people out because only the assets were bought. WeTransfer: 75%. Evernote: from hundreds down to a fraction. Vimeo: most of the workforce, including the video team. The list goes on. They are transparent about it in filings as they call the workforce reductions part of the “transformation.” Does it work financially? At the operating level, yes. Revenue went from $387M in 2023 to $1.31B in 2025, with Q1 2026 already at $601M. Operating income is healthy (around 20-21% margins recently) and adjusted operating margins are even better, climbing toward 50%. GAAP net income is messier because of debt interest and acquisition-related costs, but the core engine is printing cash once the cuts land. They target aggressive IRRs on deals and hold everything forever with no exit plan. Compare that to the usual suspects. Constellation Software is the cleanest public parallel. Same “buy and never sell” philosophy, same focus on capital allocation. But Constellation is decentralized: hundreds of small vertical B2B software companies that mostly run themselves. Sticky, mission-critical products, low churn, funded largely from internal cash flow, modest leverage. Steady compounding over two decades. Bending Spoons is the opposite operating model: hyper-centralized platform, consumer and legacy digital brands (higher churn risk), heavy debt, and much more aggressive restructuring. Higher targeted returns, higher variance. Private equity shops like Thoma Bravo or Vista do the cost-cutting and leverage part. The difference is they buy to sell in a few years. Bending Spoons has no intention of flipping anything. They want the portfolio to compound indefinitely. That permanent-capital mindset is closer to Berkshire than classic PE, even if the day-to-day execution looks more like a ruthless turnaround team with a shared AI-heavy tech stack. The model has clear strengths: speed of integration, willingness to make hard decisions, ability to extract margin from businesses that previous owners treated as lifestyle companies or growth stories. It also has obvious risks; consumer products are less sticky than vertical software, debt service is real, and the long-term durability of heavily optimized legacy brands under continuous price pressure is still being tested. Newer big acquisitions (Vimeo, Eventbrite, AOL) are still in the middle of the transformation. Whether you like the approach or find it cold is secondary. The numbers and the consistency of the playbook are hard to ignore. Bending Spoons is running a specialized version of the software roll-up with more aggression on costs and more centralization than the classic players. It is working so far. The interesting question is how far the model scales before the easy targets dry up or the leverage becomes a problem.

  @RichRautenstra1 @SeanOhhhh Live moderation is not as good as it was. I worked behind the scenes moderating online discussion (starting in the AOL days). I'm retired now, but the concept seems to be that if something offends you, block it. I'm not a fan of that. This needed to come down ASAP and cops called

  @N_and_ni We used books and went to college for computer science. You had to figure it out and there were no forums yet like stack overflow to tell you if your code was wrong. You’d text a guy you knew for answers on a 3 inch flip phone screen and you’d get on AOL voice chat or call them to figure it out. Hence why I became an engineer instead of a full time developer. It was really hard and most people I knew failed out of comp sci and became engineers. It used to be the hardest degree you could pick outside of advanced mathematics. I took years coding classes. HTML and CSS, C++, python and at the end of it you’d barely be able to code a calculator, card game or website and they looked like ****. I was the best web developer in my class and I still had a website that looked like I threw up on the screen because that’s all that the code would allow you to do. Lots of windows lots of boxes lots of squares in general. Everything was square and grids were big. Bright colors and ****** animations. But there were no rules. You could quite literally create anything you wanted and there was nobody to tell you no. I mean there were a dozen websites you could watch the Iraq war and people getting blown up. Crazy **** that doesn’t exist now or only on the dark web. They live streamed people dying and you’d go to school and there’d be some crazy *** video your buddies would show you that would scar you for years. We saw guys go record wars, dudes ******* all sorts of weird stuff, people hurting themselves and everyone had a crazy video and they never got taken down or suppressed. They were just there on Google if you searched for it. Everyone was creating the next big website similar to the AI craze. We didn’t have online Call of Duty you’d have to LAN party so we would build **** with our friends and you’d code all weekend in between halo and drinking at the dorms all weekend. Code all day then party all night and repeat. I was the infrastructure guy and I could build the hosting platform and my buddies would help me code while I did the network and servers. You’d actually have to hand out business cards in public once a business website launched because SEO wasn’t a thing yet. So you had to sell people in person. It was awesome. I wish we could go back.

  I used that name to on a game called Phantasy Star Online. I plugged a GameShark full of mangled code I copied by hand off some aol site. Big mess but got it to work well enough to kill other players or freeze their game by casting magic in brightly lit areas. Too many pixels? Games crashes, can’t render it. Problem was neither could my game! What to do? Lobby teleporter. Hit em with the grants magic spell just as you also click teleport back to game lobby server place. Ophelia 14. Place to be. I also robbed em all of their weapons. Then later gave them out to noobs for frees. I made a game and laid all my goodies in a pile and said take what you want. Fun stuff!
