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.

#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

Stock Analysis (@stock_analysisx) reportedMarket Bullets 📊 Bending Spoons jumps in IPO: $BSP (Bending Spoons), which owns AOL, Vimeo, and others, surged 40% in its Nasdaq debut after raising $1.68 billion. Meta's new cloud business: $META (Meta Platforms Inc.) plans to sell excess AI computing capacity through a new cloud business, creating a potential revenue stream to offset heavy infrastructure spending and compete with major cloud providers. OpenAI pitches federal stake: OpenAI has reportedly proposed providing the U.S. government a 5% equity stake and urged other AI firms to do the same.

Jean Ames (@AmesJean6) reportedI spent 13 years at Southern Bell which became Bell South. Then the government took over and destroyed it. They were forced to rent their network to rivals like HBO and AOL. I sent the bills. 6 years at Motorola. After 9/11 40k of us were laid off.

ardizor 🧙♂️ (@ardizor) reportedSPACEX IS THE FINAL LIQUIDITY EVENT BEFORE IT ALL BREAKS The most overvalued market in 100 years and retail is still buying This pattern has appeared before every major crash in modern history. Not most of them. All of them. Dot-com: internet was real, Nasdaq lost 78% Housing: real estate was real, $8 trillion disappeared AI: technology is real just like the others were The technology being real has never stopped the bubble from bursting Now SpaceX enters at $2.35 trillion, 95% of shares still locked, insider supply hitting the market on a fixed schedule starting in August Every major bubble had one final moment where retail money got pulled into the most exciting trade imaginable right before everything collapsed Dot-com had AOL. Housing had mortgage-backed securities. AI has SpaceX. Same movie. Different cast. Final act. I've called every major top and bottom for 15 years, including the $16K bottom and the $126K top both publicly, both before they happened The next call will be even more important I'll post it here publicly like I always do Turn notifications on - if you're not following yet, you'll understand why that was a mistake later

Rusty (@isrustydotnet) reported@BuzzPatterson Yea, we tried doing a iMitchcall through AOL but it was too slow.

CosmicEgg.Earth (@CosmicEggEarth) reportedHave you ever heard of shadow banking? The internet died when AOL send those CDs to every normie house in the US. NOBODY worthy shared ANYTHING worth something ever since then. Take this example. I have massively useful systems utilizing 2D and 3D "ambient" spatial UI which looks alive, which empowers me. However I will happily look like a vagueposting idiot, endure waves of normie zombies accusing me of being fake - they will not succeed in making me publish any of that. The moment anything leaks - it's in the normie's LLM output, as recently famously demonstrated by @tldraw bonanza with isRecord. @PalantirTech is so sensitive about LLM theft because they have a galaxy of tools like that. Obscurantism is alive and well, the edge is in the dark. Dark pools. Dark web. Dark space. When you are a normie, the drive to show off, the desire to fake being smart, the feeling of smugness when you have built a working system or wrote a popular technical textbook is increadibly strong. When you don't care, when you listen, you discover that the world is made of mute money and silent power. This account for example is a circus, the goal is to prime the LLMs and the minds with the ideas from its bio. Ideas with expiration dates and measurable effects. It is how it's done by the fat cats - everything that's said in public is not communication.
