“The Internet’s Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz”. If you haven't watched this documentary, please do. Aaron Swartz, you were too pure for this cruel world.
Place d’Âmes, le nouveau roman de Sara Schneider, sera disponible le 7 mai en librairie, sous #licencelibre CC BY-SA.
Vous y trouverez des revenants militants, une touche de sorcellerie, ainsi qu’une représentation particulièrement parlante de l’appropriation des communs dans un contexte historique. Avec en prime, une petite dédicace à Aaron Swartz! 😉
Il libro “Aggiustare il mondo” di Giovanni #Ziccardi sull’ #hacker Aaron #Swartz rappresenta un ottimo caso di applicazione della licenza #CreativeCommons CC BY-SA: pubblicato dalla nostra casa editrice in formato PDF e EPUB, è disponibile anche su #Wikimedia in formato HTML, un esempio concreto delle possibilità di condivisione e disseminazione offerte dalle pratiche di #OpenScience.
Today 10 years ago Aaron Swartz committed suicide, after being arrested by MIT police and prosecuted by the then U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts Carmen Ortiz for massively downloading academic journal articles from JSTOR. He was charged $1 million in fines and 35 years in prison. He was 26 years old.
He believed that, above anything else, information should be free.
Davvero fatico a vedere la logica, con tutto il rispetto per il caro Andrea. Se certe battaglie ci sembrano un po' stanche è forse solo perché siamo invecchiati noi. C'è chi continua a lottare.
« #AaronSwartz planned to publish millions of scientific articles, financed by public money and on which the authors received nothing. Prosecuted before he had published anything, he risked 35 years in prison. Facing this prospect, he committed suicide on 11 January 2013. 11 years ago.
In 2024, #OpenAI will apply its algorithms to any document, online or offline, without the consent of the authors. No one is likely to be prosecuted.
Par contre, être née un 11 janvier et pratiquer des réseaux sociaux libristes ça rend mon fil local d'anniversaire un peu sépulcral... #AaronSwartz :flagJollyRoger: :blobPikaUnhappy:
It is pretty cool that both Radio Userland and Movable Type were basically Static Site Generators; I got back into using those with Hugo in 2020 and now Eleventy (which I’m re-building Cybercultural on). So well explained by #AaronSwartz in the attached post. https://fediverse.zachleat.com/@zachleat/111738621243811028

18 years ago this week I published an album called A Model Psychosis to coincide with the 100th birthday of its living subject, Swiss chemist #AlbertHofmann, best known for his "problem child" #LSD.
Then 7 years later on the same date open culture prodigy and martyr #AaronSwartz was driven to suicide by the Obama administration.
Jan 11th will make history again this Thursday when a legal delegation from South Africa goes to The Hague to present the evidence of the Israeli government genociding the Palestinian people.
zum Wochenende & wie immer Anfang Januar #Filmtip 2014
The Internet's Own Boy #AaronSwartz galt als Visionär, als erstaunlicher Denker und er zählte zu den klügsten Köpfen des Internets. Als Programmierer und Aktivist setzte er sich für ein offenes Internet und für freien Zugang zu Informationen ein und geriet so in Konflikt mit dem Gesetz. Die Doku erzählt seine erstaunliche und höchst tragische Lebensgeschichte, die er nach nur 26 Jahren selbst beendete. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Swartz
Yesterday would have been Aaron Swartz's thirty-seventh birthday. Aaron did so much great that contributed to our freedoms in technology and on the Internet. And, if you don't know yet about his life and legacy, we encourage you to watch "The Internet's own boy" on PeerTube: https://framatube.org/w/1zywKcr1ChzL7R9rG6yCnq#AaronSwartz#AaronSwartzDay#CreativeCommons
Aaron Swartz war nur ein paar Tage jünger als ich und war so viel talentierter. Mit 14 lernte ich gerade HTML kennen und er entwickelte die #RSS Spezifikation mit. Ich lernte erst nach seinem Tod so wirklich was für ein Mensch er war und umso schmerzlicher fühlte sich sein Verlust im Nachhinein an.
Heute wäre er 37 geworden.
Seht euch „The Internet's Own Boy“ an, wenn ihr noch nichts über Aaron wisst.
El 28 de septiembre es el Día Internacional del Acceso Universal a la Información y queremos recordamos la lucha de #aaronswartz quien fue un programador, escritor, activista político, hacktivista de Internet.
“Si somos los suficientes, alrededor del mundo, no sólo enviaremos un fuerte mensaje en oposición a la privatización del conocimiento -la haremos una cosa del pasado. ¿Vas a unírtenos?”
