Rest in Peace Aaron.
I think Aaron would have given Steve the finger and walked too.
Everytime i watch the documentary about Aaron, it makes me rrally sad.
Which docu?
The Internet's Own Boy. Highly recommend it, someone else posted a comment with a link to watch it:
The Internet's Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz
A true martyr.
As a very out of touch dude. Who is this again? I recognize that face and I recall being genuinely sad about his death but that's it
Founder of Reddit and one of the developers of the RSS standard.
Huge Free speach advocate and very against intellectual "property". He wanted knowledge to be free and accessible for everyone and killed himself after he was accused of things that could've brought him to prison for a very long time. He probably did these things which are kinda similar to things Sci-Hub does nowadays.
Aaron Swartz and Skyrim, both awesome.
Rip da homey. :'(
real G
we need to set an instance/community in his name that documents all the greed aspects of internet companies and the sustainable and user friendly alternatives to fight those: like firefox is to Chrome, invidious, odysee, the fediverse, vpns, alternatives to isps (?) , i2p and p2p, Libgen, Anna's archive ...
The world needs him more than ever today. RIP 😢
The internet's own boy.
Honestly fuck Steve or Skete or Spez or whatever his fucking name is (I know it’s Steve, just venting), the guys’s a tool. What baffles me is how users of deceased third party apps (RIP Apollo) can continue using the site and supporting it after it’s been publicly made what a liar he is.
I've fought admins tougher than you
JUSTICE!
