  @mitchellvii Have used a wide variety of software programs and media platforms over the past 40 years. And X is definitely the worst I've ever seen. An incredibly bad design poorly implemented. It's like something some high school students made for a school project. Can't even correct a typo in a post, which was something we could do easily back in the 90s. America Online (anyone remember AOL?) was more modern and sophisticated and with fewer bugs.

  Airtable was worth $11 billion in 2021. Bending Spoons just bought it for an equity value of $2.25 billion. That's not a down round, that's a crater — roughly 80% of the value evaporated for the VCs who backed it, including Silver Lake and Salesforce Ventures. What makes this deal different from Bending Spoons' usual playbook is the customer. Evernote, WeTransfer, AOL — those are consumer brands, and the formula was always the same: acquire, cut headcount hard, optimize monetization, never sell. WeTransfer tested that formula's limits last year when a terms update tried to claim AI-training rights over user files, and had to reverse course within days. Airtable's customer base is 80% of the Fortune 100, running actual operational workflows on the platform, not casual file transfers. The same cost-cutting and monetization playbook that worked on consumer apps runs into a different kind of resistance when the users are enterprise data teams who can migrate a workflow, but can't tolerate a surprise terms change. Bending Spoons is about to find out if the model scales up, or if it only worked because the stakes were low enough that nobody was watching closely.

  @Wild_Nefari @Hulex My only reason for discord usage is for streaming & community build it has far better tools for that. TG I use it for virtually anything. But damn I do miss the days of MIRC or AOL cause when you send a file it doesn’t matter how big it was.

  $SPCX is an AoL that experiments with rockets. Same internet service provider and advertising biz as America Online of 1990s.

  Sometimes I think of the days of aol instant messenger, and how the tech would be to put up an away message and say something like “god my parents will never get me don’t text me. Don’t messsge me” Then proceed to sit there wondering why no one has texted me. Simple times

  @qaggnews @ColonelTowner @MarkEDeschaine True, back then the community was a lot smaller and better connected in a way, it was just us computer geeks, after all, just getting connected to the internet was difficult until Aol and Bix. I helped bring cable modems and digital set top boxes to the public but that wasn't until mid 90s. Before then, a fast connection was a 44.1Mb T3 at work, or a blazing 128kb from home, you could with some trouble get a T1... A fast CPU ran faster than 2MHz... (not GHz) The fastest link, mid 80s the Boston globe could get going from one side of town to the other was a T2 microwave link, 6Mb, so until Bill Gates started selling pc's to anyone, it was a close and honest community, not without the odd ones, but anti social was the 'uunet' red line I guess. How long did the gets() vulnerability remain unexploited? Years. People didn't break into other systems as a usual thing. That was 40 years ago though and things just aren't the same. The Arduino crowd strikes me as having some of the hobbyist sort of enthusiasm you'd see back then.
