       I think I will always remember the death of Aaron SWARTZ. Until then I was a proud but simple user of free software, but this was the first time I REALLY realised the violence of the opponents of the free circulation of knowledge, I was shocked.Since then I try to be as conscious as possible in my choices, to put money and time into what serves a cause that is beyond me but in more human formats, to choose and promote only projects that serve the digital commons (and beyond) 🖖#RIPAaron

       @danslerush What MIT police and especially the federal prosecutors did to Aaron "within" the constraints of the law was cruel. I'll never forget it.

       @danslerushThis is a great documentary about the academic publishing industry that was doing just that, and still is and what they were going after him for: https://40two.tube/w/dsgEbsj3QZfSdyUa8cURS9#PeerTube #PeertubeDiscover
