  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.

  @getwhatugive @LynAldenContact You’re collapsing the product and the protocol. BlackRock/MSTR make money if demand for bitcoin rises. Demand rises when access gets easier: brokerage accounts, 401ks, treasuries, Lightning, hardware wallets. Shrinking the buyer pool would hurt their bags. That’s the opposite incentive of “reduce access.” Early internet had AOL too. Walled gardens expanded the user base first. The open network still won because the protocol wasn’t owned by AOL.Same here. An ETF is not a modem ban. Anyone can still run a node, hold keys, and send sats. Institutions can offer a wrapper. They cannot revoke the chain. “Gemini agrees” is not an argument. The music-sharing analogy also fails: Napster was illegal and centralized. Bitcoin settles on a public ledger. You don’t sterilize that by listing a ticker.

  Harvest raised prices up to 1000%, and most users still can't calculate their bill until it lands. The problem isn't the price. It's that they never explain it upfront. Here I will be telling you about the new pricing model. so you can do the math before renewal does it for you. Why this happened to you? Bending Spoons ; the company behind Evernote, WeTransfer, Vimeo, Eventbrite, and AOL — bought Harvest in July 2025. Look at their track record and you'll see the same move every time: acquire, raise prices, shrink the free tier. You just watched it happen again. If you signed up before Nov 7, 2024, you were on the old flat-rate plan. Since then, you've been getting quietly migrated to the new model and it usually shows up hardest right at your renewal. What you used to pay- Simple, flat, per seat: - Pro: $11/seat/mo (annual) - Premium: $14/seat/mo (annual) No usage fees. No surprises. What you are paying now- You're on one of four tiers : Free Teams Enterprise Enterprise Plus If you're on Teams or Enterprise, you're billed one of two ways: Flex: your seat rate, plus usage fees based on what you did last period Unlimited: your seat rate, plus one fixed surcharge no matter what you did Base seat prices: Teams from $9/seat, Enterprise from $14/seat. Want profitability reports, approvals, or SSO? That's Enterprise only. Now the part nobody sees coming: Harvest doesn't publish a rate card. Based on real accounts, here's roughly how it works on Flex billing: - Projects: free up to 4 then $15 (5–10) climbing to $1,000 (151+) - Tasks: free up to 3 then $15 (4–10) climbing to $1,000 (151+) - Clients: free up to 3 then $15 (4–10) climbing to $1,000 (151+) - Invoices created: free up to 4 then $15 (5–10) climbing to $650 (51+) - Amount invoiced: free up to $3K then $15 ($3K–$20K) climbing to $650 ($200K+) On an annual plan, you get roughly 12 projects, 7 tasks, 7 clients, 50 invoices, and $50K invoiced before any of this kicks in. Cross a line, and that category starts billing you on its own, separate from everything else. One UK consultancy owner told the BBC the increase felt like "Daylight robbery" — and it's easy to see why once you see the mechanics above. Now, the small things that makes it even worse - Your trial starts on the pricier tier. You have to switch it yourself - Your first invoice looks normal. The real number shows up on your second one - Archiving someone doesn't stop the billing. You have to delete their seat - A two week freelancer still costs you a full seat - Stripe takes a cut of your invoices, then Harvest takes another - Scheduling is a separate paid add on There's no AI help. You're tracking and reporting everything by hand I talked to a founder this week who used to swear by Harvest; forecasting, budgeting, invoicing, no complaints. Then her renewal hit. She didn't get a choice. She's calling herself a "Harvest Refugee" now. So are a lot of people who loved the product but can't justify the new math anymore. If that's where you're at, the name that keeps coming up is OneSuite flat $9/seat/month, no usage fees, nothing quietly stacking on top of your bill. And it's not a stripped down copy either. It's apple to apple with Harvest, feature for feature: - Timesheets and Expense tracking with approvals - Billable rates and cost rates - Project budgeting - Time and material, fixed fee, and non billable project types - Invoicing, synced with QuickBooks Same workflow you're used to. And few more stuff extra such as - CRM, Contract and Project Management  Just none of the surprise billing. Before you panic or jump ship: go to Settings → Billing, find your renewal date, and add up your own projects, clients, tasks, and invoices against the free limits above. Know your number before Harvest tells you. best, Syed Rezwanul Haque (Reza)

  @MapQuest Holy hell, we thought you went to go hang out with Ask Jeeves for the weekend at his mountain cabin with Napster, Netscape, and AOL Instant Messenger

  This really is a bunch of cool people were living in society. Everything was fine but Nerds weren't allowed to be part of cool stuff. Then they made the Internet, AOL, Myspace, ig, fb, snap, twit, yt. And people believed Nerd stuff was cool . Comics are cool. Digital comics suck. VHS are cool. Netflix sucks CD in a car & LPs in a room cool. Spotify sucks. Social at a coffee shop in 90s cool. Starbucks sucks. Bookstores have babes. Amazon does not. Disney stayed Disney and held the line. The rest fell into digital dust. Meet a friend for coffee. Ask a girl to be somewhere at sometime and see if she shows. That's the intro. Don't text her. Write her a letter if you miss her. Get back to the Basics. I did and my life is far better away from the chaos of chasing the World.

  There was an Internet before the internet. My parents bought an IBM PS1 from sears as our first modern computer when I was in elementary school. It came with Prodigy which was like a big BBS and a free trial of Compuserve, which I think was the predecessor to AOL, both ran on dial up. I liked compuserve better because it had chat rooms but it had some heinous bill by the minute rate once you exhausted the free trial. At 8 years old the only thing that occurred to me to do with this technology was to relentlessly and nonsensically troll the chat rooms until I ultimately got banned from the entire platform. Well, a month later my mom gets a $200 bill from compuserve (I blew well past the free trial) and she calls them irate. Apparently in this call she was told I ran up the charges and btw I was also banned. She couldn’t believe this so I guess she asked why I was banned and the rep told her I was spamming their chat rooms saying “I like big breasted women” which was apparently against their terms of service and they would not be refunding anything given my behaviour. Got home from 3rd grade that day to get quite an ear full about this. But I guess I get bonus points for being banned from the internet before there even was an internet. I still like big breasted women tho you can’t hold me down.

  @RealAlexJones Viruses are boring. I used punters on AOL, NetBus, and Sub7 on IRC victims. I made a script on mIRC, and when someone /joins the #channel, it would send them porn.exe; when they for sure open it, it would pop up a MsgBox "porn is broken rofl.", vbCritical, "oops". #1337h4x0r

  @MapQuest Hahahaha this is like AOL screaming in 2026 they aren’t going to use AI or some ****. Like no one cares what you do because no one uses you anymore.
