Good, you're finally awake.

I think Aaron would have given Steve the finger and walked too.
Rest in Peace Aaron.
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 ...
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
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.
Rip da homey. :'(
Aaron Swartz and Skyrim, both awesome.
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
You got some good answers already but I just wanted to add...
The DOJ overcharged the hell out of him. Non violent, first time offender looking at decades? They were putting the screws on him in the hopes he'd plea, again to an unreasonable amount of time. Feels unethical to me.
