"Could of" and similar phonetic replacements making no sense whatsoever irritate me more.
Here at least the logic is arbitrary, "Anna's apartment" and "school's leadership" vs "Anna's waiting" and "school's empty", but "its tail" vs "it's cold".
OK, I'm not a native speaker as it may be clear.
The one that kills me is the positive use of "anymore," which I've come to learn is colloquial to Northern Ireland and the midwest US, but good lord it just doesn't sound right when people say stuff like "everybody's cool anymore" instead of "everybody's cool now." For some reason I felt like it was becoming more common but now I'm thinking it might just be my exposure to midwest.social.

FFS will people ever use "it's" and "its" correctly ?
Look, just because your one of the people who understands it, doesn’t mean their one of the ones who do.

Rip my pcmcia modem card
Telephony still exists! It's still good, it's still good!

Any alternatives to the Starlink?
The other satellite players (Hughesnet, Viasat), the fixed 5G boxes (although places sufficiently rural to seriously consider dialup may not have 5G), probably some smaller boutique dialup ISPs.

I thought we all had a collective and unsaid agreement not to talk about this one
Statute of limitations ran out.

I read months ago that Amazon was stepping into the game but I haven't heard anything since then.

If you live in a rural area, it seems plausible

Fitting that it's ending in (eternal) September.

Kuiper and Guowang are currently launching satellites. It will probably be a few years before they are operational though.

I still have one, still in the cellophane. I use it as a coaster.
You got more use out of it than most

AOL Shield Browser is some absolute Wack Crap.
Remember how AOL bought Netscape and open-sourced it, leading to the Mozilla project?
AOL Shield Browser is based on Chromium.
...I get it, Chromium is easier to use for developing custom browsers than Gecko. But, still... why?

I actually had no idea that Firefox only exists because of AOL (The Mozilla Browser evolved into Firefox for those not in the know). Thanks for sharing that interesting bit of history.
