  Please 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

  I don’t know why my internet is running so slow. I have the latest version of Netscape Navigator installed with AOL webcrawler as backup.

  @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.

  @streamlabs Not maintaining 30FPS resulting my streams looking like I’m on AOL connection. I wasn’t having that issue before.

  @alcidezx3 had my name as well (IvanVega1) but there were others. We never just had one. Was @DoctaSlick your AOL handle, Nikki? 🤔

  Geez @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.

  NETSCAPE was like AOL, Browser type systems - that all changed in 2000. Using your Phone line was fun - 20 minuet downloads for a Bitmap / Jpeg picture. No one today could "put up" with how slow things used to be. Websites were made with Wordpress and were limited to say the least.

  @SMB_Attorney Are you going to take away AOL accounts from every eight and nine figure smug dummy in Kañsas too 🤔 Because that could fix a lot of problems for the earth

  Ike (@Iken75) reported 6 minutes ago

  @muheediva01 Hmm, a lot of people seem to think Wi-Fi=internet for some reason. There was no wireless internet. It was landline POTS at your house and maybe if you were lucky you had access to a business or school that could afford to lease a T1. In home broadband wasn't a thing yet, it was super expensive, and the internet was often gated through online service providers like AOL, and the original OSP's like Prodigy and CompuServe were still around. This is before even napster, so p2p music downloads weren't really happening yet either. You could play Doom, Wolfenstein 3D, minesweeper or Tetris on your PC. If you had Prodigy you could play MadMaze. The original Civilization and Sid Meier's Pirates! were out then as well. Most days during the summer I would go out and try and get a pickup basketball or baseball game going. If that failed I'd read a book or build **** with legos. After dinner if I wasn't in trouble and had done my chores I could play videogames. I had two sisters I had to share PC and internet time with. It wasn't super common to have a TV in your bedroom, and I didn't. So if you wanted to watch a show or a movie you had to gain consensus.

  @sprosay10 @Supamusk123 Dear Elon, I have always been someone who respected you and never gave two shits how smart you were or what you did. There are times that we have disagreed but I never to decided the problem was you just because you bought a website that never was good as Myspace or AOL. If anything? Thank you for taking **** out of my data drop from my timeline in 2021. You showed me that I must have scared them so much that I knew whether or not a lens flare made anyone unhuman. Which is stupid. Science Exists.

  The early days of AOL were just as bad as current social media except we didn't have it everywhere we went

  George Cheng (@MrGeorgeCheng) reported 10 minutes ago

  AOL had 30M users, and the internet locked down. Then the open web ate it. Anthropic and OpenAI are playing AOL right now. The Fable 5 rug pull just showed every enterprise exactly what it looks like to depend on closed AI. The off switch exists. Someone else holds it. Llama, Mistral, Qwen - they're not "almost as good" anymore. For most enterprise workloads, they're good enough. And they run on your own hardware. Apple MLX + NVIDIA RTX Spark laptops + rapidly improving open weights = the mainframe-to-PC transition, happening in real time. Open-source AI will do to Frontier Labs what the open internet did to AOL. History doesn't always repeat itself, but it certainly rhymes. The only question is how long you keep building on someone else's infrastructure before you start owning yours.

  @Kohonos234 @AislingOLoughl1 I don't think so, Jhonner. AOL is a friend of ours and has an incisive mind. Poor ole Steo had some rough times, by the sound of it. These riots are exactly what the ZOG want, unfortunately, all part of the plan. It's all ******

  @GergelyOrosz @PythiaR Never thought that the ScaleAI transaction would work out as a reverse takeover. Echoes of AOL acquiring Time Warner.

  Stay the F away from @watchcommnet ! Use starlink, aol, dialup, *anything* else! When I get ahold of customer support they are wonderful, but getting to is near impossible. 40 minute wait times. Hung up after holding for 1 hour 27 minutes. Get a voicemail, etc.. #hell
