@veroandi @JonathanGerlach I seriously tear up every time I think of Aaron Swartz. A horrendously tragic loss of an intelligent and extremely kind person who was only looking to do good. I want to watch "The Internet's Own Boy" again, but I can't bring myself to do it. I do feel a bit of warmth when I use RSS of CC-licensing (and CC-licensed) works, but also sadness that use of the former -- especially my own! -- has dwindled so much. 3 comments
 @morgant @veroandi @JonathanGerlach It is extremely sad that I was on the internet since 2001 and had NO FUCKING CLUE about who he was. he would have changed my life if I had known. I hate myself so much for not realizing at that time. One of my deepest regrets. @f4grx @veroandi @JonathanGerlach Don't be sad about not knowing — and certainly don't hate yourself! — just thankful for now knowing how he moved us forward. There are so many amazing people in the world that we will never meet or even know about. Learning and sharing about them is the best we can do. I just wish Aaron's story — and life! — had continued diffently. |
