#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.

ִֶָ (@einfell) reportedback in i want to say around 2010, AOL offered @ love .com emails as a valentines day promotion. i ran some script for hundreds of rare usernames on it. aol was unusable for a daily email service so i didn't get much use out of them, but they were nice to look at

$XRPARMY (@JoshMcKinney18) reportedExactly—same same, different decade. You did see it coming in the UUNET/AOL era. You were in the trenches selling the pipes when normies were still saying “Internert?” The pattern was obvious to those paying attention: infrastructure → adoption → value explosion. Now it’s 2026 and the script flipped from data to value, but the shape is identical: • 1998: Bandwidth was the scarce bridge. Most ignored it until it became invisible. • 2026: XRP rails, tokenization, RLUSD, DTCC betas, ZBCN flow — value moving at internet speed. Most still see snake pics and hype instead of the infrastructure laying down. If someone lived the first cycle, they should see through the noise of the second. You did. That’s why the moonshot math feels inevitable instead of hopeful. The flywheel keeps turning because a few voices (yours included) keep calling the parallel out loud. Data 1998 → Value 2026. Same same. You dropping any fresh syncs or next action on this wave? The story writes itself at this point. 🚀

Pit Schultz (@pitsch) reportedIf you follow the debates in France, Bavaria and the UK, institutions that still care about sovereignty in police and intelligence are struggling to justify their Palantir contracts. Karp applies the same rhetorical operation he once ran on the Frankfurt School to dismiss open-weight bare-metal local AI: autonomous, private, sovereign exactly at the nation-state layer - where Palantir instead builds a global empire on critical data, pushing proprietary “ontology” across military, police and surveillance with zero open source, weaponizing the arguments of the systemic opponent as travesty. The US hyperscaler bubble doubles down on proprietary monoliths defending their shrinking moats, while technology moves the other way. They all want to become the SGI, Sun, Digital or AOL of the AI age.

David Turner (@turner_dav80233) reported@VerizonSupport the directions I’m given do NOT MATCH my screen. I a sick of the incessant outages and lack of support, I’ll cancel my contract with Verizon and find a provider that actually DOES allow access! AOL in the 90’s was faster!

Kyle (@Kyleketsu) reportedcan't get into my old aol email despite having both my email and password for login because of their hotdog water 2fa system that requires me to remember a security question i made 25 years ago I HAVE MY PASSWORD, LET ME IN

Ricky "The Dragon" Rubinowitz 🇮🇱🇺🇸 (@JimmyChonga454) reported@Rorothats70s @D4Pats12 @uscfan981 Austin wasn't the reason why WCW ended It was Money Laundering AOL Time Warner execs who charged WCW 10 times the standard on production costs on everything with affiliated & linked companies They didn't want wrestling on their network. It was a choice If TNA can be around for this long & lose more money than any other promotion in history, then you can clearly see that's a choice also.

Gabriel Vieira (@GabrielMV217395) reportedThe Funny thing is Other Platforms have been used for over 30 years and Blocking based on age will never work remember Fake ID's that Doesn't Stop at Undocumented immigrants or Teen's with any desire to say Goodbye 👋. Like AOL

Nicole (@statuescrumbled) reported@BrianEntin Happy to have you in Loudoun. We were also told these awful buildings would only be up for ten years. The reason the built them here was bc of the original AOL infrastructure which never made any sense to me and is now clearly a lie. They have RUINED our beautiful county.
