    Aujourd'hui dimanche 11 janvier 2026 hommage à Aaron Swartz (né le 8 novembre 1986 à Highland Park, près de Chicago, et mort le 11 janvier 2013 à New York) fervent partisan de la liberté numérique, il consacre sa vie à la défense de la « culture libre », convaincu que l'accès à la connaissance est un moyen d'émancipation et de justice.

  3. CW: uspol

    Side note: #AaronSwartz achieved his 2008 liberation of nearly 20 million public domain document pages through a lowly #Perl script he adapted from Steve Schultze.

    Every three seconds it would download a new document from his free trial account on the federal "Public Access" to Court Electronic Records (#PACER) system for @carlmalamud's archive.

  4. CW: suicide, uspol

    #AaronSwartz, brilliant 26-year-old Internet activist, co-creator of #Reddit and co-writer of the #RSS specification, committed #suicide twelve years ago yesterday.

    In 2008 he helped defeat paywalled #PublicDomain case law; in 2012 #SOPA/ #PIPA; but after enduring 18 months of federal persecution for liberating public-domain articles from #JSTOR, he ended his own life.

    If you feel hopeless, call 988.

    If you supported bullying Aaron, may you burn in hell.

  5. I went from writing this to listening to @taylorlorenz talk to @adamconover on #Factually about #SocialMedia. I was a bit disappointed that they didn't use the opportunity to plug their #Mastodon accounts because talking about the alternatives is a big part of changing the internet landscape.

    Then I went on to listen to #BehindTheBastards talk about #AaronSwartz. Of course #RSS comes up.
