#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.

Blessed E v (@Blessed_EV1221) reported@AwakenedOutlaw AOl is right on right on! Or she's just down right lying because she knows lefties love fraud - so Cloward-Piven, blame your enemy for what you are doing. Projection!

joubalspacker (@joubalspacker) reported@thenarr47271717 @Bit_Faced @theswansjr Your analogy is a bit off Current Bitcoin is not 'The Internet' but more akin to the walled garden of America Online capable of serving only a select few... AOL was consumed by the wider permissionless network that served everybody... If BTC can only serve the masses via custodians it will be no different than a CBDC => It will be outcompeted by a freer money

Asymmetric Edge Research (@AsymEdge) reported@2147mill The problem with the normie test is that the internet passed it in 1999 too. Totally non techy families were on AOL back then as well, over 20 million of them by the end of 1999. Amazon went from 17 million customers to 25 million between 1999 and 2001 and nearly doubled revenue, and the stock still lost 94% over those two years. So usage only tells you the thing is real. For the bubble question I look at what people pay for the earnings. Cisco was over 100x forward at the 2000 top, Nvidia is under 20x right now. Same thing with the crypto half of your post by the way. Nobody uses gold day to day either and that never made gold a bubble.

Rakesh Agrawal (@RakeshSFNYC) reported@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.

Æ (@atomeons_ai) reportedThis 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.

Zamaterasu (@ZamaterasuBlake) reportedThis current A sol kit is so bad. I don't find him fun at all the active frame on his skills are so slow. It reminds me of prime AOL days when I was kid. I am not asking for damage buffs I am asking for faster cast speed on W and R.

The Watcher On The Web (@WatcherontheWeb) reportedOh... Just in case it hasn't sunk in yet AI being able to code as well as it does means that software as a product or service is DEAD AS A DOOR-NAIL It will probably stop twitching in about 4-5 years for most people, but expect some companies to hold on by charging subscription services until 25 years after they have become irreverent... See AOL for examples

JovanHuttonPulitzer™ אני לא סובל טיפשים! (@JovanHPulitzer) reported@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.

Friedmo (@_Friedman1) reported@StorchMoritz i truly believe eth doesn’t do anything. it’s slow archaic, it’s AOL imo. stablecoins and other tech can accomplish what it does
