🇺🇲 The summer of 2008 marked a turning point for AOL. Time Warner was in discussions to sell its internet division to either Microsoft or Yahoo, a move that would significantly impact the online advertising market.

➡️ Beyond its search engine and e-mail service, AOL's most notable brands included the instant messengers ICQ and AIM, the iconic web browser Netscape Navigator (which dominated the '90s and was a key player in the browser wars with Microsoft), and Winamp (the legendary media player from Nullsoft, acquired by AOL in 1999).

💵 In January 2001, AOL merged with Time Warner in a $165 billion deal, the largest merger in U.S. history. This merger was intended to create a media powerhouse, but instead, it led to a slow decline. The dot-com bubble burst, and AOL's dial-up internet service quickly became outdated. The anticipated synergies never materialized, leading to massive losses and internal conflicts.

💻 By 2008, AOL was a shadow of its former self. The potential deals with Microsoft or Yahoo underscored the intense battle for dominance in the tech world. Yahoo, under pressure from activist investor Carl Icahn, was in a proxy fight to avoid a takeover by Microsoft, which had its sights set on both Yahoo and AOL.

📈 Analysts predicted that acquiring AOL would significantly enhance the buyer's online advertising power, reshaping the digital landscape. Despite AOL's eventual spin-off from Time Warner in 2009, the company could not reclaim its former glory. However, the legacy of its pioneering services like ICQ, Netscape Navigator, AIM, and Winamp continues to be fondly remembered by many.

While you're chasing alerts, others are building the future.

In his latest blog, Anis Dave dives into a harsh truth: many IT teams are trapped in firefighting mode; reactive, overwhelmed and unable to focus on innovation.

At Algoworks, we’re helping teams break free with AIOps: enabling early detection, automating response and giving engineers their time (and sanity) back. Because the best tech teams don’t just keep systems running; they build what’s next.

🚀 Read the blog to learn how AIOps helps forward-thinking teams get ahead.

Nope now it’s at the point that i’m shocked that people off tt don’t know what’s going down. I have no reach but i’ll sum it up anyway.

SCOTUS is hearing on the constitutionality of the ban as tiktok and creators are arguing that it is a violation of our first amendment rights to free speech, freedom of the press and freedom to assemble.

SCOTUS: tiktok bad, big security concern because china bad!

Tiktok lawyers: if china is such a concern why are you singling us out? Why not SHEIN or temu which collect far more information and are less transparent with their users?

SCOTUS (out loud): well you see we don’t like how users are communicating with each other, it’s making them more anti-american and china could disseminate pro china propaganda (get it? They literally said they do not like how we Speak or how we Assemble. Independent journalists reach their audience on tt meaning they have Press they want to suppress)

Tiktok users: this is fucking bullshit i don’t want to lose this community what should we do? We don’t want to go to meta or x because they both lobbied congress to ban tiktok (free market capitalism amirite? Paying off your local congressmen to suppress the competition is totally what the free market is about) but nothing else is like TikTok

A few users: what about xiaohongshu? It’s the Chinese version of tiktok (not quite, douyin is the chinese tiktok but it’s primarily for younger users so xiaohongshu was chosen)

16 hours later:

Tiktok as a community has chosen to collectively migrate TO a chinese owned app that is purely in Chinese out of utter spite and contempt for meta/x and the gov that is backing them.

My fyp is a mix of “i would rather mail memes to my friends than ever return to instagram reels” and “i will xerox my data to xi jinping myself i do not care i share my ss# with 5 other people anyway” and “im just getting ready for my day with my chinese made coffee maker and my Chinese made blowdryer and my chinese made clothing and listening to a podcast on my chinese made phone and get in my car running on chinese manufactured microchips but logging into a chinese social media? Too much for our gov!” etc.

So the government was scared that tiktok was creating a sense of class consciousness and tried to kill it but by doing so they sent us all to xiaohongshu. And now? Oh it’s adorable seeing this gov-manufactured divide be crossed in such a way.

This is adorable and so not what they were expecting. Im sure they were expecting a reluctant return to reels and shorts to fill the void but tiktokers said fuck that, we will forge connections across the world. Who you tell me is my enemy i will make my friend. That’s pretty damn cool.

Urgent Help:

Help my family survive and start a new life

Hello everyone, thank you for taking a moment to read our story.

I am Hazem Shawish, and I am trying to save my family from this war.

We live in Gaza, where we face significant challenges due to the current situation.

My family consists of 11 members, including my mother, two daughters, four sons, and three children.

In the shadow of conflict, our family has faced unimaginable hardships. The passing of my father, a victim to the cruel grasp of hunger and inadequate healthcare, left a void in our lives, underscoring the fragility of our existence here. My brother, Samer, battles bipolar disorder, a condition exacerbated by the ongoing war and the severe shortage of essential medications. Without access to the necessary treatment, his life is at risk, and we live in constant fear for his well-being amidst the chaos that surrounds us. These personal tragedies have deepened the urgency of our situation.

Every day is a struggle for survival, and each night is filled with prayers for a brighter tomorrow. We hold onto hope, believing that one day the clouds will dissipate, and we will find the peace we long for.

Our home, which was a sanctuary for us, was destroyed, forcing us to live in a state of uncertainty and fear. We have lost the laughter of our children.

Our entire neighborhood In Gaza Before and after

we had a supermarket that helped as to live and earn money, but it was bombed and we have nothing now, pic of our supermarket

We also face psychological challenges, as we have lost our father, and my brother Samer, who needs expensive medical treatment, is facing imminent danger. My mother, who has endured so much, fears losing another child. We are all suffering from malnutrition and contaminated water.

We dream of moving to Egypt to find safety, where our children can pursue their education.

We seek your support as individuals who understand the value of compassion and community.

Thank you for listening to our story, for your understanding, and for standing with us.

🇵🇸🍉❤️‍🩹🙏

A beginner’s guide to devops: what it is and why you need it

In today’s fast-paced technology-driven world, businesses are always looking for ways to improve their software development process. One of the approaches that have gained a lot of popularity in recent years is DevOps. In this beginner’s guide, we will explore what DevOps is, its benefits, and why you need it.

What is DevOps?

DevOps is a set of practices that combines software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops) to shorten the systems development life cycle while delivering features, fixes, and updates frequently, reliably, and in close alignment with business objectives. DevOps helps organizations to automate and streamline their software development and delivery processes, resulting in faster time-to-market, improved collaboration between teams, and higher quality software.

Why do you need DevOps?

There are several reasons why organizations need DevOps, including:

Faster time-to-market: In today’s fast-paced business environment, being able to release software updates quickly and frequently is critical to staying ahead of the competition. DevOps helps to automate the development and deployment processes, reducing the time it takes to release new features or updates.

Improved collaboration: DevOps promotes collaboration between development and operations teams, resulting in improved communication, better alignment, and faster problem resolution.

Higher quality software: DevOps practices such as continuous integration, continuous delivery, and automated testing help to improve the quality of software by catching bugs and issues earlier in the development process.

Reduced risk: DevOps helps to minimize the risk of software failures by enabling teams to detect and fix issues early on in the development process. This can help to prevent costly downtime or service disruptions.

How does DevOps work?

DevOps involves several key practices and tools, including:

Continuous integration (CI): CI is the practice of automatically building, testing, and integrating code changes into a shared repository on a frequent basis. This helps to catch issues early on in the development process and ensures that code changes are integrated smoothly.

Continuous delivery (CD): CD is the practice of automating the deployment process to ensure that code changes can be released quickly and reliably.

Infrastructure as code (IAC): IAC is the practice of defining infrastructure and application configurations in code, allowing teams to automate the provisioning and configuration of servers, networks, and other infrastructure components.

Monitoring and logging: DevOps teams use monitoring and logging tools to track system performance and identify issues that need to be addressed.

Collaboration tools: DevOps teams use collaboration tools such as chat, video conferencing, and project management software to improve communication and collaboration between teams.

Conclusion DevOps is a powerful approach that can help organizations to deliver software faster, more reliably, and with higher quality. By combining development and operations teams and automating key processes, DevOps can help businesses stay ahead of the competition and meet the ever-changing needs of customers. If you’re looking to improve your software development process, DevOps is definitely worth considering.

I've been real busy lately because it's December and I work at the post office, so of course I am

But that doesn't mean I can't show up with an unprompted PSA

Hey! Have you ever mailed a letter to Santa Claus? Have you ever wondered what exactly happened to that letter? Well wonder no longer! If it had a stamp and a return address, then odds are that it ended up on the USPS's Operation Santa page!

Every year, the USPS collects letters to Santa Claus, and processes them to black out any identifying information. Last names, addresses, things like that. Then, the letters are posted on the Operation Santa webpage and people can adopt the letters.

Once you adopt a letter, you can buy gifts for them, wrap them up, and package them. Then you get a barcode from the website, and bring them to a post office. The clerk there will scan the barcode, which prints out a label with the address on it, and sends out the gift.

It's anonymous on both ends, and is generally just. A really nice thing to do.

I highly recommend it if you have some money to spare this year and want to give a kid a moment of magic this year

It's one of those things that the post office just happened to be positioned to do, and ended up knocking it out of the park. Unfortunately, I don't think they advertise this nearly well enough, and most letters end up going unanswered

Hopefully, a few more will be answered this year
