Thanks! I'd never seen that. This particular link has some audio censorship shenanigans due to the mention of "suicide" toward the end, but I was able to find another YT link that doesn't edit it out. youtube.com/watch?v=9vz06QO3Uk…

There exists a group photo of Aaron Swarz and Zuckerberg at MIT. Same story, different intents, different outcomes. Sadly not the good intention had the better outcome.
Edit: It was Sam Altman. But the point still remains. mamutovo.cz/@Razemix/113978218…

a fish named dog ✡️♾️

His website is still up at aaronsw.com.

Among other things, he co-authored RSS at 14, cocreated Open Library and Reddit, was influential in Creative Commons, and founded Demand Progress. All of this in his too-short twenty-six years on this planet.

Aaron Hillel Swartz, may his memory be for a blessing.

Asymmetric enforcement of property rights is absolutely not a mistake. It's core to how capitalist competition functions. zirk.us/@MidniteMikeWrites/113…

Lord Caramac the Clueless, KSC

I've got a few hundred gigabytes of pirated PDFs and EPUBs lying around, more than half of that scientific publications, mostly due to that fact that those are full of images. The sheer number of files in the fictional literature directories is larger by several orders of magnitude, but since pure text compresses down to next to nothing, the entire Dune series, J R R Tolkien's collected works, even the entire Discworld series, all take up no more than a few megabytes each, while a single scientific book is often more than 100MB due to all those images. PDFs about biology are often larger than those about Physics because there are more high resolution photographs and much fewer simple vector graphics.
So the sheer data volume doesn't tell us much about how many pieces of text we're dealing with, how many papers, magazines, books. It could be huge libraries of fiction, history, politics, or philosophy, or it could be just a few books on botany or zoology with a lot of HR photographs.

@pluto In a way. The post honours Aaron Swartz memory I get it. Part of his work as an activist was to make what he considered to be Digital commons to be publicly available. He was, I think, against the system of enclosure and privatization of the commons that characterizes capitalism . I was agreeing with a previous comment, expanding it to the most cruel forms of capitalism.
Maybe a bit far from the original post, but in a continuum in my estimation.

How many of the people agreeing to that it's a outrage are still using Meta?
How many are still using Meta and simply ignored all the previous violations the company performed?

Bigots.

Btw, the thread's discussion is maily about Aaron, which is not the main topic. See how fast people get distracted.

It's about Meta's THEFT and copyright violation, not about Aaron (RIP)!

aaronsw was an acquaintance in real, and we had exchanged emails and were FB friends.

He was principled, charming, talented, and much loved.

But he was also entitled and arrogant.

MIT blocked his access to JSTOR passively a number of times and he kept working around ip blocks, etc.

MIT had very good surveillance abilities, when we had a compromised guest laptop at One Laptop per Child IS&T called me in like 5 minutes and told me you have five minutes to get this off the net.
