  Researchers tracked 344,753 websites over 18 months to map where American attention actually goes online. The answer is email. Gmail alone is 16% of all desktop time. Add Yahoo, Outlook, and AOL, and inboxes eat nearly a quarter of every hour Americans spend at a computer. That's double the combined total of Facebook, X, Reddit, Instagram, Discord, and WhatsApp. The legacy numbers are the wild part. Yahoo Mail, at 3.71%, gets more attention than ChatGPT, Reddit, and Netflix combined. AOL Mail, a service most people assume died with dial-up, beats Instagram and Discord combined. Yahoo still has roughly 225 million active mail users, skewing Gen X and Boomer: people who opened an account in 1999 and never saw a reason to leave. Google Search sits at just 2.33%. The front door of the entire internet gets less time than Yahoo's inbox, because search is engineered to end fast. Every second you spend on a results page is a second Google failed. The chart measures desktop, which explains the shape. Your phone is where you play. Your computer is where you work. And the work of being an American in 2026, the bills, the receipts, the school notices, the job applications, still runs through a protocol invented in 1971. Strip away 30 years of apps and the desktop internet is a post office with better graphics.

  How do all these people have 10s of thousands of "followers"? People that don't necessarily post anything new or just re-posts of other peoples' thoughts & work. I don't get it. I've been a member for a while now (w/ THIS acct - my orig was cancelled by Twitter during COVID for telling the factual scientific truth about masks based on my years in Bio-Nanotechnology). Is it strictly from those "Follow" train lists? I learned early on to stay away from those - I check out EVERYBODY I ever follow first & personally (not necessarily relying upon Grok's "Profile Summary", although those may get me interested to take a gander). I try to engage those who engage with me and avoid silly flame-wars. I don't post to GET followers, I generally post current stream-of-consciousness thoughts, what's on my mind at that moment & not really organizing them into proper English "articles". Plus I'm not really good at pithy comments - I speak from my heart & soul and EXPLAIN myself & my reasoning for coming to different conclusions. And I typically don't engage in irrational, emotional hyperbole & name-calling. I truly want to know what others think and LEARN (you're never too old to learn!). For DECADES on BBSes (Bulletin Board Systems - pre-graphical internet days, modem-connected social systems for discussion, research & debates), the Usenets (newsgroups, pre-graphical/HTTP/HTML internet days when time on the internet was purchased through 3rd party vendors like CompuServe by the hour - 70s & 80s, pre-AOL (which is slightly pre-HTTP/HTML/Mozilla-Netscape graphical internet revolution) - where everything was command-line driven in ASCII, EBCDIC, ISO set or ATASCII or the like). Am I just too old, boring, long-winded, obnoxious, opinionated or what? I know its annoying with me posting about my health, but I've gotta vent SOMEWHERE and NO ONE on X knows me personally. Not that it matters so much now, I'm heading down the stretch-run to Home plate, but even paying for Elon's blue-checkmark, I don't get many hits/views or responses/engagement, it is pretty comparable to my "free" account that I use solely for NFL stuff where I have 1 whole "follower", which is probably one of those online ho-bags. It's not that I'm looking to "earn" from X and I'll NEVER post things just for click-bait value. I'm just really curious how these other accounts accrue so many followers for literally not doing much,

  @pe_remek Flat-rate dial-up ran on the same circuit-switched lines as per-minute dial-up. AOL sold $19.95 unlimited in 1996 with the phone network unchanged. If circuit switching forced per-minute billing, that plan could not have existed. It did, and millions bought it. So the meter was a pricing choice, not a property of the wire. It came off dial-up by decision, and Anthropic just announced the same move for its best model: folding it back into a flat subscription.

  @stetansley Psn was down, but just like with physical games... you could still play what was installed offline, having a disc doesn't magically give you internet access... this isnt 1996 and AOL is long gone... dumbass

  @LoewyLawFirm Wasn’t that AOL? I still have my @ me - I’ll never get rid of it. For those that don’t know it was a paid for service to sync all your devices before that was normal and free.

  Gather round children, let me tell you of the Netscape Navigator In the Year of our Lord Early-1990s, one could access Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) -- essentially, a highly-selective Reddit -- BY PHONE, not the internet. You also played your friends in Warcraft 2 by phone. If you had email it likely came through a university "Walled Gardens" were built out at AOL and Prodigy to facilitate user-friendly graphical interactions over the most of the 'net you were gonna get your hands on. But then... Netscape. FREE YOUR MIND was stamped all over the thing. You could do what you wanted, when you wanted it. You could guess the full URL for the admin login portal for major companies, then go to the human-legible cookie file on your machine and change the access granted value to true! When you opened someone's computer and they didn't have Netscape, your Promethean introduction of technological fire established your reputation as a true wizard and hacker We exchanged the latest search engines: WebCrawler, AltaVista, Dogpile. Jerry's Guide, even. Real wizard-tier esoterica. College students had access to unlimited bandwidth. A normal chump at home was sitting on 1-3% of 1 Mbps, or maybe 1/8 of 1 Mbps if he was a high roller with an ISDN line. But college students had T1s (1.5 Mbps) or even T3s (45 Mbps for a whole school, maybe even just a dorm). With all those sweet sweet kbps, you hit up mIRC and your beautifully personal Geocities page. You used Winamp and Winzip. You had ASCII text art in your sig. Later in the 90s, you burned mix CDs for friends with Nero's Burning ROM and downloaded wallpapers from Digital Blasphemy. You had Juno mail, then Hotmail and Yahoo, to FREE YOUR MIND and take your email with you wherever you wanted to go. And at the heart of all this: Netscape Navigator, a.k.a Excalibur, a.k.a. Eternally-On-Evaluation, a.k.a. the 3rd-best piece of freedom I experienced after exploring our drainage ditches and getting my own bike It was truly special.
