  @marklevinshow ... bro... you're linking to an AOL story? You rely know your demographic, don't you. I'll wait for the next CD to arrive so I can get a 30 day trial if their dial-up service, so U can check it out. After my 2pm supper, of course.

  Trans Atlantic flights go from **** to entertainment hubs. From dial up aol to isdn to cable to satalites. From a phone on the kitchen wall to cordless to bulky to flip to IPhone pc in your pocket

  @AnaAnsan3 Nintendo and Sony would have been stuck in the late 1990s with AOL service setups if it weren’t for PC gaming and the original Xbox (the original Steam Machine).

  My 86 year-old father called me at 2 AM because he accidentally joined a Discord server and thought he was being "recruited by the internet." I answered the phone half asleep. "They're in the computer," he said. "Who's in the computer?" "The voices. There are young people. They're talking. I think I've been hacked." I sat up. "Dad, what are you talking about?" "I clicked something and now there's a room full of people and they keep saying my name." My blood pressure spiked. I thought maybe he'd stumbled into some kind of scam call center or ransomware situation. "Don't click anything else," I said. "I'm coming over." I drove twenty minutes to his house at 2:30 in the morning. When I walked in, he was sitting at his computer, headphones around his neck, looking absolutely terrified. "They know I'm here," he whispered. I looked at the screen. He had somehow joined a Discord server called "Chill Vibes Gaming." There were about forty people in a voice channel. And in the chat, someone had typed: "Yo who is CrazyDave1938 and why is he breathing so loud?" CrazyDave1938 was my father. "Dad, how did you even get here?" "I was trying to download solitaire." "THIS ISN'T SOLITAIRE." "I KNOW THAT NOW." Apparently, he clicked an ad, which led to a download, which installed Discord, which auto-connected him to some random public server. And he'd been sitting in a voice chat for forty-five minutes, not speaking, just listening. The people in the chat were confused but remarkably patient. One of them typed: "CrazyDave, are you okay? Blink twice if you need help." My father had no camera on, so blinking was not an option. I leaned over and typed: "Sorry, this is his son. He's 86 and very confused. He thought this was solitaire." The chat exploded. "LMAOOO." "Protect CrazyDave at all costs." "Dave you're a legend." Someone changed his server nickname to "Grandpa Dave." My father looked at me, bewildered. "Are they laughing at me?" "They love you." He squinted at the screen. "What is this place?" "It's like a chat room." "Like AOL?" "Sure, Dad. Like AOL." He thought about it for a second. "Can I stay?" I stared at him. "You want to stay in the gaming Discord?" "They seem nice. That one called me a legend." I didn't know what to say. I helped him figure out how to mute himself, showed him how to leave and rejoin, and drove home. That was three months ago. He's still in the server. He logs in every night around 8 PM and just listens. Occasionally he types things like "Good game everyone" even though he's never played anything. Last week someone made him a moderator as a joke. He took it very seriously. He now removes "inappropriate language" and once banned someone for "being rude to a young lady." The server has doubled in size. Half the new members joined specifically because they heard about Grandpa Dave. My father has become a Discord celebrity at 86 years old. He still doesn't know what Discord is. He calls it "the solitaire room." I've stopped correcting him.

  @tylerblack32 @jaypo1961 It’s like the Bat Signal, doc. The message goes out on the MAGA idiot network and all the little MAGATS get their talking points downloaded to their AOL accounts.

  AOL-Time Warner was the dot-com era’s worst mistake, but PlayStation's war on user ownership is gaming's equivalent: a colossal waste vaporizing trust for control, proving that destroying consumer rights is just a brain-dead business model that burns investors every time 🤦
