How long do we think Zuckerberg has left at Meta? Its been just one debacle after the other. Now theyre doing another 20% of layoffs. Not really the sign of a healthy company.

I do wonder if Meta will become like AOL, just coasting on old users habits and advertising network.

Yes, #AOL.

Couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting one of those free trial discs.

I do miss Netscape. The last edition of Netscape — which, ironically, they released on the same day they announced they were discontinuing it — was, in fact, an improvement. I can only imagine how the development team felt, having put in all that wonderful work, which ran smoothly, and being proud of it with great fanfare, only to be told hours later that they were all being laid off and the project discontinued. AOL did Netscape dirty, and I’ll never forgive them for it.

By Tesla’s own math, it reveals that its robotaxis are 4x worse at driving than humans, with redactions hiding even more details

By NHTSA standards, the Tesla Robotaxis are 8x worse than human drivers.

Listen up, Neil: 🤦‍♂️ You won't verify your age #online because "privacy," but also probably because you're still using #AOL. 🌐 Meanwhile, the rest of us are just trying to stop #toddlers from #swiping right on #Tinder. 💳🔞

I'm struggling to think of any online services for which I'd be willing to verify my identity or age

Identity verification and age verification is an increasinly common policy conversation at the moment, in numerous countries.

@Jyoti Still got my #AOL account. Three decades of vintage spam! 💾 ☎️ 😁

#SocialMedia ist doch nicht das Internet.

Die #AOL Generation in ihrer Blase die das dachte ist längst vorbei.

Daher ist das noch lange kein Internetverbot wenn Jugendliche Teile daraus nicht mehr nutzen können.

Wie bei den Sexseiten ja auch.

Hi @staff, I saw your post about the future of Mastodon and I first want to applaud y'all on making many forward-looking changes that will help grow #Mastodon ecosystem and the #Fediverse in positive ways.

I also saw that you're interested in new outside-the-box ideas for how Mastodon.Online might progress in its own direction.

Well, I have a few:

A Vision for Mastodon.Online

In response to: We also haven’t forgotten about mastodon.online. We want to do something wildly different there and push the limits of what the software can do. We have some thoughts, but we don’t …

Wait, did the #fediverse just serve me this news article from #aol … unironically?
Reflections On Section 230’s Past, Present, And Future On Its 30th Anniversary
