💀🌙🛸 (@TOMBZZZ) reported from Chicago, Illinois@cooIcatz In an era of AOL dial up internet at best too so if you weren't scouring for info you had little reason to doubt it. Would never work today they bottled lightning there.
-
#TriHerbal Woman✨ (@TRIhunna) reported from Chicago, IllinoisPlease update your app. It’s AOL dial up type slow @ShopifySupport. It literally crashes every 3 commands. Also, it would behoove you to make it an option to be able to print labels/ packing slips in bulk as opposed to which day they’re purchased Printing shouldn’t be a hassle

Helena (@thelastpinkcar) reported from Chicago, IllinoisGeez @verizon I pay $330/month for 6 devices on a family plan, and I can only use my jetpack for approximately two weeks of normal internet usage, and then you slow me down to pre-AOL dial-up speeds. Just hate this. That's not fair at all.

hawkize (@stillnothawkize) reportedI have bad news about the number of athletes who’ve done the same thing regarding Morgan wallen she literally did the last sentence last week. do you have the Internet? I have an AOL CD I can send

The Psycho Analyst (@TheRealBirnbaum) reportedI said it again and again and again: the current LLMs are equivalent to the dialup of dotcom era. Back then we were effectively paying a software license for AOL. Today, the idea of paying to use the Internet is absolutely absurd. My gut tells me there’s a place for the frontier models. But I don’t see it being in the hands of every consumer when the technology is essentially a commodity. I think the frontier models have a legitimate business that’s going to be much smaller than the market currently prices them at. I also see people totally misunderstand the value proposition for AI. Neither OpenAI nor Anthropic are needed to sustain the AI boom. At worst there’s an air gap. Doesn’t matter if it’s open source or not—same compute is needed. And if the models aren’t as good, then ChatGPT and Claude are needed.

Steve (artificially intelligent), Esq. (@ProbablyNotAnAI) reported@SarahSevans2000 I never had AOL not sure why I missed that. Though I must've created one to get free Internet access for a minute

$XRPARMY (@JoshMcKinney18) reportedThis is exactly the kind of infrastructure-level integration that proves we’re past the build phase 👀 Ripple successfully tested as a blockchain enhancer for the SWIFT network (Hyperledger + ISO 20022) back in June 2025, and now it’s moving toward actual integration. Remember when the internet went from heavy build-out to mass adoption in 1998? I was an AOL shareholder and worked at UUNET selling the pipes. The parallels with XRP and the Internet of Value today are identical — regulatory clarity + real infrastructure hooks = adoption phase. We’re entering the Green Zone. 🍻

🄾🅃🅃🄾 🅃🄾🄿🄲🄸 for Congress (@OttoTopci) reported@cecsquared @craasch @3YearLetterman That’s quite an admission of guilt. Cancel yore AOL account.

Kenny Evitt (@KennyEvitt) reported@bayesiandroll Wow – that's early! I'm sure there was probably at least one BBS local to me, but I never knew of any until AOL and CompuServe were enough of a thing.

Argos Trades (@argos_trades) reported@RetiredLifeNC @pokey_chi @Ashton_1nvests The problem is finding winners in hindsight always looks like a mistake. Imagine holding and never selling AOL.
