Wish I could bring him back. Brilliant mind geared for freedom. Fuck everyone that got to him, guillotine every last one of them
Aaron Swartz would have loved nostr.
Effectively the culmination of his life’s work.
1999: At the age of 12, he co-authored the RSS 1.0 specification, which is a format for syndicating web content.
2000: Swartz became a member of the Creative Commons organization, which aims to expand the range of creative works available for others to build upon legally.
2002: He founded the Infogami platform, which later merged with Reddit.
2005: Swartz joined Reddit as a co-founder after a merger with Infogami.
2006: He left Reddit and began working on various projects, including the development of the web application framework, "Open Library," which aimed to create a web page for every book ever published.
2008: Swartz was involved in the development of the "Demand Progress" organization, which focused on issues related to internet freedom and government transparency.
2010: He played a significant role in the campaign against the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA), advocating for internet freedom. He also developed a tool that allowed users to download large amounts of data from PACER (Public Access to Court Electronic Records), which was typically behind a paywall.
2011: Swartz was arrested for downloading a large number of academic journal articles from JSTOR with the intent to distribute them freely. The U.S. Attorney's Office in Massachusetts pursued the case against Swartz, and he faced the possibility of severe penalties, including up to 35 years in prison.
2012: On January 11, Aaron Swartz tragically passed away at the age of 26. He allegedly took his own life due to the pressure of government prosecution.

Memory eternal Aaron Swartz
Rest in peace, Aaron. I hope you're proud of some of the things we're building here.

another victim of fiat society
Wow I didnt know that! Thanks for sharing!
For those who would like to know more, watch the excellent documentary, “The Internet’s Own Boy.”
t-y 4 this note! Aaron Swartz!
Aaron Swartz was a wanker with a ginormous sense of entitlement.
His contributions were very modest. Infogami was nothing much at all and he only got into Reddit for a favor that Paul Graham owed Aaron's father.
His interest in "free books" grew out of his sense of entitlement that others owed him the fruits of their labor.
Aaron Swartz, the legend, grew out of Aaron Swartz, the realm life person, to fill a need for heroes and role models in the same culture of nincompoops that made the fictional Satoshi Nakamoto a prophet.
It’s a sad tale, indeed. I wonder how he’d feel about what became of Reddit though. It’s become a censorship-ridden, woke cesspool. The owners must’ve made a ton on the IPO though, which I’m sure he would’ve enjoyed.
You are a low T loser, you will be poor forever. Muted.
I hope nostr has the longevity that reddit has had but stating true to its path and uncorruptable the way reddit has not.
Rip.

We could use a little bit of revolution
❤️ RIP to the GOAT… onward
There's no proof he took his own life. The strongest evidence is his girlfriend at the time seeming to believe it completely, but that's also the point of making it look like a suicide. Inconclusive evidence to convict the man of suicide in my court.
He openly hated where it was going before he died and would hate it now, including the IPO. He wasn't driven by money and never had anything to worry about financially from a young age because the academic system accidentally gave him recognition for his genius early on before they figured out they can't afford to let the smartest people from the recent generations get famous for being that smart.
Cool paragraphs nerd, now watch me infringe copyright
Uh oh another incel.. muted
A little bit?
Think bigger
Better.
Be gone. Go jerk off to your fav anime and ruminate about interracial relationships
Bro you are so predictable. You should move to Palestine
I blame the fucking vampires, aka the politicians making up the government for his death.
That’s a strange question. You should go out and socialize
Bro you are scared of other races because you are weak
Sure bud
Tell that to your spouse, retard. Also, read a book.
I literally haven’t heard of him today. Go back to resenting your wife and kids (don’t actually, you 80 IQ cunt)
hats off to him. he got me in cs
Ah yes a retard who thinks he knows ANYTHING about me. Well done, fuck face.
You know I’m an anarchist right? I don’t believe in the validity of borders. If there is no government, who forces diversity?
I’m as far right as an individual can be. Just because you are a shit brained racist cuck doesn’t mean everyone else should be too.
You need Jesus.
I don’t give two shits about the white race because I’m not a fucking racist. You clearly don’t care either since you don’t have white children.
So I guess we are on the same side 😁
Ephesians 2:14, Galatians 3:28
You need Jesus, you little racist. Read all of Ephesians 2.
I agree that digital piracy is wrong. But Aaron still did nothing wrong in the JSTOR case. He was murdered by bloodthirsty feds that had zero concern for Justice. JSTOR didn’t even prosecute him, so they didn’t think he did anything wrong either.
Unrelated but fun fact: for a time in his life while growing up, he would only eat food if it was completely white
Ge
I don’t care what they think about Christians. No true Christian does.
You believe Jews and Gentiles should be separate, while the Bible says the exact opposite.
Galatians 3:28 “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”
Ephesians 2:14-16 “For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, by abolishing in His flesh the hostility, which is the Law composed of commandments expressed in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two one new person, in this way establishing peace; and that He might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the hostility.”
And yes, I am well aware of what they think of us and what the Muslims think of us.
It is not our place to judge them.
It is your duty to save them. You wont save them by pushing them away or calling them names. To call me ignorant when you are calling people Jews and niggers in an attempt to make up for your incredible lack of social intelligence is honestly funny. To do so with poor grammar only worsens your case.
How did Jesus treat diversity? Did he refuse to associate with blacks or with Jews? Or did he literally preach to the captives in hell?
You are doing the work of Satan.
You are doing everything you possibly can to help them justify their hatred. I’m not a Christian because Christians are hateful, I’m a Christian because Jesus brought me in when I was at my absolute worst.
Jesus quite literally died for them. Don’t hate them.
“Took his own life” 🥴 - RIP
so....milk and whipped cream and...?
Such a gigantic loss...

he would have. RIP
a great reminder that martyrdom isn’t the best way to accomplish your goals. the world would be a better place with him still in it.
'...he only ate white food. Only like steamed rice and not fried rice cuz that wasn't sufficiently white, and white bread and so on...'
agree! shout out Swartz! t-yGrinder
Thank you 😊 🫡🙏. Massive respect for him & for you sharing this.
Damn sounds like an awesome guy who took on a lot
He did. He was brilliant & a fantastic public speaker. He once said something like: “I don’t want to be happy, I just want to change the world.”
It hit me so hard it brought me here & to fight for others.
Aaron Swartz's Brilliant Life and Tragic Death
He was a child prodigy, an Internet pioneer and an activist who refused to back down - even when the feds tried to break him
Swartz was whack'd. Simple as that.
Have never heard about him, seems like he came from the future to bring us new connections. Went way too early.
Fascinating. Thank you !
RIP - will not be forgotten.
We lose such talented people so young so early and instead are left with complacent ones who perhaps hold on longer than they should.
This kike swartz would have hated NOSTR cuz all his tribes kikery cannot be censored here so no you fucking goy
The free world.
A reall hero! Prosecuted for wanting to help people to inform themselves

Disagree that he would have loved it but anyway, arrogant of you to speak for dead ppl
Makes me so fucking angry and sad at the same time... 🤬 🤬 🤬
To lose such talented, young and promising people like him to over-reaching and corrupt government makes me wanna bomb government buildings and kill enablers.
Many Americans agree with you, perhaps so many that the censorship of modern social media is meant to stop you from having better options than bombings, because when too many people who agree meet in one place, it becomes possible to organize and plan a more tactical resistance.
I'm not even American - I'm German - but I hate big government with every fiber of my body.
Unfortunately we don't have a 2nd amendment. That was taken away from us first by the Nazis and then by the American/Soviet "liberators".
And now communists, leftists and Greens stear us toward absolute China-like state control.
I've been to jail in East Germany as political prisoner of State Security and their RuZZian enablers so I know what I'm talking about.
...and that's why I love bitcoin and Nostr as a godsend!
2nd amendment in the US is fading and failing at its purpose, which is to reinforce freedom of speech.
Nostr might do a better job than the 2nd amendment at reinforcing free speech, in both the US and Germany
It does.
Hey gay ass socialist, you realize capitalism can’t be stopped? Tf are you doing on Nostr as a fucking socialist?
I won’t be eradicated, and my children will most likely be white..
I hold crypto in cold storage, which disempowers the government.
And I do not comply with unjust laws.
Like bruh do you not realize there was no private property in Nazi Germany?
