Today, on January 11th, we have to remember who died #OTD in 2013: Aaron Swartz  

You may know him from his contribution to or creation of:

 • Markdown
 • The Creative Commons License 
 • RSS   
 • Reddit

We must never forget him and his contributions to our world forever - especially due to circumstances of injustice and the cause he became a martyr for.

"You forgot? Must not be important."

Listen bro, I can and have forgotten to eat, pee, sleep, cash cheques. I've lost my car by taking the bus home after driving there.

Importance is not a distinguishing factor here. The fact a commodore 64 has more RAM than I do is the issue

I fucking love mastodon.

Some days I just use an entirely different client app because the vibes are Ivory or Mammoth for a day and I can just do that and there is zero friction.

The community is full of people who are just doing their best.

Makers and builders and folks who still read and ask questions.

Activitypub is awesome.

I don't miss anything about twitter.
