  @CNBC EM is so full of ****! Enough. Buying Tesla because no one is buying Tesla’s anymore. More Starlink satellites?? The only piece of the business that sort of makes money. People in the woods in Bucharest that are moving off AOL?

  @Jason Computer from the Home Shopping Network in 1995. Pentium 166Mhz, 16MB Ram, 2.1GB HDD, 28.8kbps dial up and of course, AOL. Probably a Packard Bell but no idea.

  PortSwigger reveals new CSS attack chains breaking webmail defenses to steal passwords and tokens. The techniques compromise major platforms including Microsoft Outlook, Gmail, Fastmail, Proton Mail, Yahoo Mail, and AOL Mail. One Outlook and Firefox attack chain spoofs a Microsoft sign-in screen to capture typed passwords in real-time. A Yahoo and AOL vulnerability allows attackers to reconstruct a 12-character Medium login token to hijack accounts. The research remains strictly proof-of-concept with no active malicious exploitation reported as of August 8. Security teams can't keep relying on sanitizers to block CSS when browsers and AI assistants inherently trust the interface context.

  @CryptoCyberia civilization went demonstrably down hill when AOL started shipping access to the internet to everyone's mailbox

  spent the morning mapping the 90s internet buildout against the ai era, layer by layer. the rhyme is almost suspicious. 1. the protocol layer. tcp/ip and http were deliberately dumb, open, and free. they beat richer closed rivals (aol, gopher) on adoption, not capability. gopher died from a licensing announcement, not even enforcement. mcp is running the same play: simple, open since late 2024, adopted by every rival lab within months. the lesson transfers: protocols stay dominant only while they stay credibly free. 2. picks and shovels. cisco sold the routers of the boom and became the most valuable company on earth in march 2000. then the buildout paused and the stock took 25 years to reclaim its peak. shovel revenue is a derivative of capex sentiment, not end-user value. nvidia is playing the same role beat for beat, including the most-valuable-company milestone. 3. the capability curve. every app category had a modem speed where it became viable. text at 2400 baud, images at 14.4k, e-commerce at 28.8, napster at 56k. context windows, tool-use reliability, and cost per token are the new baud rates. the question that printed money in 1994 still works: what just became viable this year that wasn't last year? 4. the trust layer. this is the interesting one. in 1994 the web was read-only and nobody would type a credit card into it. then four boring primitives shipped almost at once: cookies (1994, state), ssl + verisign (1995, identity), online payments (netmarket 1994, paypal 1998), and reputation scores (ebay 1995). a controlled experiment later showed ebay's feedback scores earned sellers 8.1% higher willingness to pay. trust primitives, not storefronts, were the moats. agents in 2026: no portable memory, identity duct-taped with api keys, no native machine payments, and tool trust decided by github stars and vibes. we are standing in 1994 of this layer. all four are unclaimed. 5. discovery. yahoo hand-curated a directory. it broke at scale. altavista indexed what pages said about themselves. it got spammed. google won by mining a signal the web deposited as a side effect: links as votes. mcp registries today are the yahoo phase. the pagerank of agents, invocations as votes, does not exist yet. the internet's biggest fortunes came from the boring layer, built in the four years after the protocol went open. mcp went open 20 months ago. the clock is running.

  @saylordocs I still have Yahoo and AOL email accounts. But I never used it after Hotmail, then Gmail.

  @hthieblot apps didn't exist but Gamestorm. AOL was running a $2 an hour game service for a few early MMOs like Starship Troopers battlespace. Even Spades cost $1/hr. Eventually a game service called "Gamestorm" had a bunch of games like multiplayer Warcraft 2, Godzilla Online, Starship Troopers, Aliens, Silent Death, Legends of Kesmai, board games ..etc for $15 a month. So everyone from AOL could play Starship Troopers or Silent Death (Both top down space shooters) unlimited and we would regularly take breaks on the other games. There wasn't anything else like it at the time. Then all the games got deleted and rights issues means they all disappeared forever, rip.
