Meanwhile my ancient bones are over here recalling my first online crush; a gorgeous redheaded girl from Texas who I was head-over-heels for, met on America Online in 1995.

On Finding and Preserving Discord and Youtube
This is a slightly edited version of a diatribe I emitted on mefi.social. I really want people to see it and think about what it means though.
A dismaying thing is how much of current gaming culture is locked behind Discords, and/or is r

Years ago my first Livejournal post marked an end to my #usenet posts. Usenet had replaced my #email groups. Email groups replaced #AOL #messageboards. Somewhere in there was my brief time on #Myspace. #Time moves on. #musk just pushed that evolution ahead a little faster with his greed. #evolution #threads

I guess the only option that would not result in a #curated #platform akin to #CompuServer & #AOL is basically navigating predominantly with bookmarks...
Fortunately, that works great with @nextcloud and requires not a lot of storage, so #SelfHosting or very cheap hosters are an option...

IMF: About half of #Europe’s #inflation over the past two years was caused by #corporate #profiteering.
In other words, #oligarchs caused inflation.
I already knew that since #BernieSanders, #AOL, and many other #progressive #politicians, #economists, #journalists, #pundits, and others have been saying so for quite a long time.
BTW, profiteering is historically punishable by death.

Move over, Instagram handles! #Hipsters are now flocking to AOL email addresses, proclaiming them as the pinnacle of exclusivity. In an ironic twist, these digital trendsetters are ditching modern communication platforms for the retro charm of AOL's iconic "@aol.com" domain.
#AOL email addresses are the new cool. Embrace the vintage allure of dial-up and join the revolution!
