  @DennisDMZ Lizzy should never have talked about the “Tippy, Tippy, Top”! That’s what happens when you steal from AOL, ACLU, I mean AOC or whatever her initials are.

  If you ever find yourself scrolling X and feeling like there’s too much happening and you’re falling behind on __________ thing, zoom out and realize by even being here and a part of the conversation you’re already light years ahead of 99% of the population w/ respect to the AI renaissance we’re currently living through. We’re still so early. It’s like the days when AOL used to mail you a CD ROM to onboard you onto dial up internet - we’re there. Spending the weekend with old friends in Austin, none of whom are in tech/SaaS or marketing. They’re doctors, actors/producers, teachers, civil engineers, carpenters, etc…and most of what we talk about on this app is totally alien to them. Which is totally fine. I’m hanging with the $20/mo Claude plan crowd. Their X feed is completely different. While I get a crazy amount of knowledge from this site it comes with decent bit of anxiety as well. There’s a shitload of noise to find the actual signal. That’s the apparent trade off — a sense of impending doom and feeling like if I don’t immediately test this platform/load this skill/build this workflow/try this model, etc…in exchange for what a never ending stream of knowledge from some genuinely brilliant people.

  @RWMaloneMD #HistoryMatters - seeing your uninformed Virgina rant on #DateCenters thought I might give you something to reflect upon: AOL started in Northern Virginia. It began in 1985 in Vienna as Quantum Computer Services, became America Online, and in 1996 moved its headquarters to Dulles/Ashburn in Loudoun County. Around the same time, UUNet/WorldCom was nearby. Those companies pulled in fiber and built early server facilities. Even more important was MAE-East (Metropolitan Area Exchange–East), one of the first big internet exchange points. It started in Fairfax County / Tysons around 1992 and later moved to Loudoun to sit closer to AOL and the other networks. At one point a huge share of U.S. internet traffic passed through it. Once networks had to meet there to exchange traffic, everyone else followed. Equinix built early Ashburn facilities for that reason. After the dot-com bust, AOL faded, but it left behind unused “dark fiber,” empty buildings, and a dense interconnection hub. Local officials later marketed that leftover infrastructure to data-center developers. AOL’s old campus itself has been torn down or converted into more data centers. Why it kept growing after AOL The cluster stuck because of a pile-on of advantages: Fiber density and low latency. Once the exchanges and carriers were there, it became the cheapest, fastest place to interconnect. A commonly cited figure is that a large share of global internet traffic still touches Loudoun. Proximity to Washington. Federal agencies, defense contractors, and intelligence work created early demand for secure computing nearby. Power and land. Dominion Energy power was relatively cheap and available. Eastern Loudoun still had large industrial parcels near Dulles when the boom started. Tax policy. Virginia added a sales-and-use tax exemption on data-center equipment (servers, generators, cooling, etc.) around 2008–2010. That became one of the state’s biggest economic-development incentives and made Virginia hard to beat on cost. Network effects. Each new data center made the next one more valuable, because customers want to be next to other networks, clouds, and content providers. So: AOL and MAE-East planted the flag in the 1990s. Cheap power, leftover fiber, DC proximity, and later tax breaks turned a local internet hub into the world’s largest data-center market. Ashburn/Loudoun is still the core; growth has since spilled into Prince William and other Virginia counties as land and power in the original alley got scarce.

  Pay no mind That’s been a popular internet bandwagon since aol boards Im old enough to remember the recycled rage garbage apparently Seriously though, if you find a movie too offensive to watch, that’s ok, the entire world doesn’t have to agree with you though, so calm it down

  @MuseumCommodore 17 for me. Never used a TAC-2. I am too young to have seen a C64 running in a store. But I have left things like the 10-print maze running on a C64 I found in use at a daycare. I sadly missed QuantumLink. I called the 800 number once, and an AOL rep answered.

  @AOL : WARNING - If forced to upgrade to paid subscription to “reset” password, you will not be able to return to “free” plan, even if you block future charges on your credit card. They charge you anyway. Call them: you hold for an hour. Then they say they’ll fix it, but don’t!

  @LibertyPDX1 Data Centers have been around for a long time... The commercial internet & World Wide Web created demand for always-on servers & interconnection. Early internet exchange points such as MAE-East in Northern Virginia (Metropolitan Area Exchange–East), established in 1992, was the first non-governmental Internet Exchange Point (IXP) in the United States. It served as a physical meeting point where early commercial Internet service providers (ISPs) could interconnect & exchange traffic directly rather than routing everything through distant or government-controlled networks. This peering model reduced costs & latency & became a foundational piece of the commercial Internet. America Online’s presence in the region, plus cheap land near Dulles Airport, available fiber & proximity to Washington, D.C. & DARPA (which had funded ARPANET), made Loudoun County/Ashburn attractive. Equinix, founded in 1998, built one of the region’s first dedicated commercial data centers to serve AOL & others, pioneering the colocation model. Companies rented space, power, cooling & connectivity instead of building their own facilities. Similar “carrier hotels” & interconnection hubs emerged in cities such as New York & Los Angeles. The late-1990s dot-com boom accelerated construction of larger purpose-built facilities. The subsequent bust left unused space that later operators filled.

  @chadmask_msu @OleMissRebel90 I’m looking for my login for Mapquest on AOL. Hang on.

  @ckneumann The dev team I worked with on one of my projects at Aol was from Mapquest. Absolute worst team I've ever worked with. But in this case, the fault was leadership.
