  When the Internet first appeared, many people thought AOL was the Internet. Later, people discovered the Internet was still there. AOL wasn't. Then came a time when people thought Yahoo was the Internet. After that Google was the Internet. Then Facebook was the Internet. And now AI companies are becoming the new center of attention.The Internet itself never disappeared. The center of gravity simply kept changing.

  @POTFES This is not accurate. The DMA, DSA, AI Act, and similar frameworks are not examples of member states forcing Brussels to overregulate. They are EU level regulatory projects, proposed, negotiated, adopted, and enforced through the EU institutional system. Member states are part of that machine, but pretending the problem is only national fragmentation conveniently ignores what Brussels itself is doing. And yes, a deeper internal market would be useful. Easier company formation, better access to capital, lower compliance costs, cheaper energy, and less fragmentation would help. But that is not the same as giving the Commission more power to micromanage technology. If American tech dominates, Europe should compete by building better products on honest market terms, not by regulating superior foreign companies and hoping European champions appear afterward. Markets are not static. IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Nokia, BlackBerry, Yahoo, AOL, MySpace, and many others once looked dominant in their own domains. They were challenged, displaced, or diminished because better technologies, better products, and better business models emerged. That is how real competition works. Innovation comes from builders, capital, talent, risk, and consumer choice. It does not come from Brussels officials deciding how platforms should be designed.

  @ThrillaRilla369 I was a mainframe systems programmer, I did not 'surf the web' back in the day, terribly insecure (worse now). I used IBMLink my entire career. We used arapnet, other early networks to research data at Berkley, UCLA, JPL. Mainframes are secure, always have been. When PC's, the web for everyone, AOL came out, we laughed and stayed with secure connections. We had email on the mainframe, profs (under VM) for word processing, long before the public knew what those things were. There is no security out in this non-ethernet world now! Https means nothing. Data mining is to be expected and reading terms and conditions should have intelligent people running from certain apps. I have never had a FB presence, nor will I. I constantly ask anyone around me, family, churches, friends, who pressure me for one app or another, "did you read their terms and conditions?" I know, Thrilla, you wanted cute answers. I'm supplying truth. X is my only social media and my husband had to talk me into it. Now, I'm a posting, replying, liking, following fool! But I won't download any other.

  @MattWalshBlog I guarantee the neonatologists advised them to abort. I was 43 when I had my last and we refused the amniocentesis. They were horrified that we might have a child with aol kinds of health issues. We still resisted. It didn't matter she was Ours. She's 13 and perfect.

  @RealJamesWoods So true, but I’ll tell you they’ve got me. I’m a hook, line, and sinker Apple guy. Why easy their product was amazing from the start, and on top of that they kept the architecture and framework the same similar to AOL! I’m waiting for the next Apple like most of us until then. Yeah I don’t want android it sucks. There’s too many variations. Apple is Apple. Let’s go Tesla phone! Or the next brilliant mind let’s get it done; we’re already!!

  @AOL my 84 year old grandmother is having a hard time resetting her password. She’s been trying all day yesterday and today to reach representatives and the hold times have been too long for her to wait. Virtual assistant just says call the hotline. Can someone please help?
