History Repeating? How The Tesla Cybertruck Became The-Modern Day Edsel-Sized Flop
"
"The respected outlet, Bloomberg, recently ran a piece labeling the Tesla Cybertruck "the Edsel of the EV era," and we have to admit, we're having trouble poking holes in that comparison. .."https://www.aol.com/articles/history-repeating-tesla-cybertruck-became-171314000.html

Recently watched the latest Veronica Explains (@veronica) video about self-hosting an AOL Instant Messenger server.
I think it's really cool, but I don't know how I would be able to connect a client to it on a modern computer and OS. Pidgin used to support AIM, but recent versions no longer support it. I think there's plugins for it, but I can't find any comprehensive explanation for how to do it.
Anybody got any suggestions? Ideally, it should be something that works on Linux.

"The History of AIM (AOL tried to kill AIM)"

AIM nostalgia 1/2:
"Forget Discord, I'm switching back to AIM"
The OSCAR protocol, the backbone of AIM, remains functional through self-hosting, demonstrating how open protocols preserve digital communities far beyond the lifespan of corporate-owned silos.

It appears that @[email protected] is selective on the instances that it allows interaction with, seemingly. Probably to protect it's users, who aren't old or adult enough for the regular open internet.

The Old Fears, Faster
The fears about artificial intelligence are the fears about the internet, rerun at twice the speed. When the public internet arrived in the mid-1990s, four anxieties traveled with it. One concerned human contact, a sense that conversation would erode as it migrated to screens. Another concerned regional culture, a worry that local identity would flatten under a single global signal. A third concerned the limits of knowing, the prospect that anyone, anywhere, could learn anything with no curator to vet the source. The last concerned gatekeeping, the dread that quality would dissolve once newspapers, publishers, and broadcasters lost their grip. […] -
🚀 Oh, great! Just what the world needs: another Italian tech firm named after kitchen utensils trying to make a splash on #Nasdaq. 🍝 Because clearly, owning relics like #AOL and #Vimeo wasn’t enough of a throwback. 😂 Now if only Reuters could figure out how to enable JS before aiming for journalistic relevance. 🙄
