Satoshi is truly incredible! What bountiful blessing bestowed on humanity so benevolently, graciously, selflessly.


This boy SAVED the INTERNET… but couldn't save himself.

10 years ago, he was persecuted by his government, and ultimately paid with his life.

Aaron Swartz is a modern hero that most people DO NOT KNOW.

But they should.

https://image.nostr.build/a5163a2d322330e5853e14ddf87d1613eecbdff0e23451d9f3059d3c1e0cd723.jpg

Aaron was creative, focused, and brilliant.

At 14, he invented RSS; He dropped out of Stanford; At 19, he was in the first Y Combinator class; He co-founded Reddit.

Most likely, if he were alive today, he would be involved with #Bitcoin.

But that’s not EVEN 1% of what he did for us 🙏

Let’s take a look 👇

https://image.nostr.build/37c7dd4a0ddbad0ae5a98babc66adc4916cc4a03b13d63d0fced0e6c3e0541fd.jpg

From a young age, Aaron believed in an OPEN INTERNET. In computers as a tool for LIBERATION.

"But wait, wasn’t the internet always open?"

No.

Believe it or not, there was a time when they wanted you to REGISTER your ID before you could browse or send an email.

https://image.nostr.build/77deabc6b94e160f43a3dd1522c5dac30061ac5423e6b2e3df10162a25e8e612.png

He believed that PUBLIC LEGAL RECORDS and SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH should be accessible to everyone.

But in the U.S.,

• 98% of scientific articles are behind paywalls; and
• ~80% of legal records are too.

Imagine being sued and still having to pay to view the documents?

https://video.nostr.build/2af872c7a7d1b74ce0fb8d42369a87df45a7ee2d23df006d287b58ac60fcfe26.mp4

Aaron's war had 3 major battles.

The first was against PACER.

A legal records database.

PACER is PAID... but it was "free" in 17 public libraries.

With friends, Aaron wrote a script on a USB drive, plugged it into a USB port, downloaded 2.7 million documents... and SET THEM FREE.

https://video.nostr.build/21b565dd1742bc950748be2ac0e0ce2868f4b94c54d1da9321a198c49fe85d1e.mp4

No charges were made against the group.

But the FBI began to take notice.

That had only been the beginning. That boy would still challenge the system.

The following year, Aaron would enter the biggest fight of his life — and the greatest battle in internet history against censorship ✊

https://image.nostr.build/ab43c6a3d189953bfee2fdc26760e819bc9e637dce97d0c8362a36192487b0aa.png

"SOPA/PIPA" 👉 if you're over 20, you probably still remember these acronyms.

A bill to "combat piracy"... which was just an excuse for the government to shut down ANY SITE, without warning.

Some companies loved the idea.

But those who loved the internet fought back.

https://image.nostr.build/605d066f5a7cc73cf8efe620725ac19f3fa9e85b760acd9e66b6f637b6837681.jpg

And then, something wonderful happened.

We still knew how to fight against online censorship.

In a coordinated response, the biggest websites on the internet "went on STRIKE."

Wikipedia and Reddit went offline. Google turned black.

Protests also erupted in the STREETS.

But...

https://image.nostr.build/605d066f5a7cc73cf8efe620725ac19f3fa9e85b760acd9e66b6f637b6837681.jpg

... but people have short memories.

This battle was won.

However, the NEXT one would be the LAST for young Aaron.

This MIT security camera was the final straw that ruined his life 👇📹

https://image.nostr.build/e48beb62bce1cdc7554d8e602786a29969a687202f7c7e6971f9f203de3160e6.png

JSTOR was Swartz's final target: the largest database of academic papers in the world.

Aaron wrote a script to download MILLIONS of papers, over the course of months, using his MIT access, in a small room.

MIT has a rebellious culture.

But the FBI could no longer tolerate the boy's defiance.

https://image.nostr.build/0f98f712709cacd788a841186630069f9b8877bbea34374f83c529e0b29d1385.jpg

With the video evidence, the U.S. prosecution charged Aaron with 13 crimes. Up to 50 years in prison.

In January 2011, he was arrested by undercover agents near the Harvard campus.

From then on, he was legally tortured.

Two years later, he would be found dead at home.

https://image.nostr.build/0e6b2b6d4ac93cc031267d6a3ae4fdd1afbaf7154c3d1b28db144e703325eff3.png

"Aaron would be 38 years old today.

He was accused of 'pirating' scientific papers funded with public money.

Facing up to 50 years in prison, he took his own life.

Those he inspired continue to democratize access to science.

Let us remember him."

*These are the words of Susan, his mother.

https://image.nostr.build/cb82dfbd1b0675e53a6a24ba2b6c6c50be08b60dc315f9a3cfbf3de4ded0a191.jpg

After his death, the charges were dropped by the government.

Aaron never considered entering a 'plea deal'. He would have faced millions of dollars in legal costs.

The father of the internet, Tim Berners-Lee, published a short poem at the time that says it all:

“The world was a little worse for his passing,
But a lot better for his being.”

https://image.nostr.build/110bd2ce6b535252ecff250b6609cc6f301b906f6681c2459d375c09af2a9548.png

Aaron wasn’t a unanimous figure. You may disagree with his methods.

But he was faithful to his ideal.

He was genuine. Firm in what he believed.

He was a person who used his prodigious skills not to enrich himself, but to make the internet fairer, and the world a better place.

https://image.nostr.build/570b43a6887dfa430be76e33a416c7bbc65d05e9acf0404ae46ad1a522bf9abc.jpg

Aaron had worked with Virgil Griffith (former Ethereum, now imprisoned for "teaching about crypto" to North Koreans).

He knew Elizabeth Stark (from Lightning).

He was friends with Zooko.

And he wrote about #Bitcoin — on the DAY he was arrested (1/6/11)! 😢

Curious? To learn more about the story, start with this documentary (on YouTube) 👇

[https://youtu.be/9vz06QO3UkQ](https://youtu.be/9vz06QO3UkQ)

We’ll finish with an excerpt from the "Manifesto for Free Access," by Aaron himself:

"Information is power. But, like all power, there are those who want to keep it for themselves. There is no justice in following unjust laws. It’s time to come to the light, and, in the tradition of civil disobedience, declare our opposition to the private theft of public culture.

We must take information, wherever it is, make our copies, and share them with the world."

RIP, Aaron ✊

The Bluesky team has an academic paper describing the protocol that’s a pretty good high level but somewhat technical overview. It includes how they see Bluesky compares to Secure Scuttlebutt, Nostr, Farcaster, and ActivityPub/Mastodon.

I think folks who are building Nostr apps or advocating for it in comparison to Bluesky would do well to read it to understand what they’re doing and how we’re different.

We should also write up one for Nostr.

We all need to be very aware that what  nostr:npub1sn0wdenkukak0d9dfczzeacvhkrgz92ak56egt7vdgzn8pv2wfqqhrjdv9 is describing here is not some distant dystopian future. It's our dystopian reality.

In May, Elliptic, together with researchers from MIT and IBM, developed a dataset to identify "the shape of money laundering" on the blockchain.

This dataset attempts to predict money laundering activity that has "not yet been labeled" by distinguishing between what the dataset defines as "anomalous signatures" and Bitcoin transfers between "licit services".

Falling out of these clusters deemed normal by intelligence financed corporations already leaves you penalized. Avoid KYC services? Flagged. Can't tie your transactions to a bank account? Flagged. Frequent user of coinjoins? Flagged.

You are already being debanked because a computer program has decided that you are a money launderer – not because you did something illegal, but because your transactions are deemed abnormal – and you have no legal recourse as suspicious activity reports swear financial institutions to absolute secrecy.

It's the full on criminalization of privacy in finance. The future is here, and it's Orwellian.

dude换个手机感觉我不会用了


有时候又同情老中人，觉得大家都很惨在这种文化体系中摊上这么个政权，有时候又觉得他们的苦难从民族劣根性中生出，到最后完全是活该，无所谓有人怎么踩在他们的头上扭曲事实，还是继续前赴后继地给大厂当韭菜，相信被从小灌输的虚无缥缈的概念，等ccp动到他们的钱包，啪，虚假的泡泡破了，承诺都是假的，人终于醒了，但是一切都晚了，两亿股民背后的家庭又有几亿人口受到波及呢，难算
但是无尼玛所谓所有人还是一直在互联网上和线下织出一张又一张脆弱的关系网，一群群人自负排外容不下任何异议，不分地域环境性别形成原因每一个小圈子就是整个剑冢的缩影，整天陷在奶头乐里，动到自己的财产才想起来空喊的那些口号，抗议都要借着大爹的名抱着画像披着旗，but ccp don't care，用之即弃的一次性资源不过又是多一项待处理的数据罢了，就是说指望老中醒悟还不如咒上下上早死


十一年过去地球上的人们依然在这个平台上用各种语言纪念Aaron Swartz，八年前（我之前记错了，竟然八年了！）一起做翻译的网友们早已不知四散去向了何方。啊，但那时的经历至少深刻影响了我。我至今认为，Raw Nerve的那个系列依然值得一看。只是政治抑郁还在缓慢地杀掉我，时间真的不多了。
aaronsw.com/weblog/rawnerve
gabriellelee-s.lofter.com/post/1cd80016_…
我本想用英文写点什么，但最后还是觉得我应该中文。
时不时地，尤其今天，我想我应该回溯自身，问问自己，这个世界比起十一年前，八年前更好了吗？我做过什么？
还有，我还能做什么？


2023年终总结（？
话是这么说也不是很知道从哪开始总结起，但今年最后一天还要上这个根本没事做的b班属实有点烂。
总之整年下来，虽然还是依赖翻译软件，但至少更少地依赖内网了（不然我也不会在这里做总结）。抗争仍要继续，虽然大概率我不会成为那最后那根稻草，但我更清楚地意识到，每一根稻草都是重要的。
有时候看着我的同事们也会有疑惑，我是否真的要为这些早被父权和极权驯化的愚钝的不知自由和隐私为何物的人而牺牲——他们又不会感激我，搞不好还要骂我破坏了他们温水煮青蛙的生活——但又还是会想到，我肯定不止是在为这些人斗争，所以我选择继续前行。
临近年底又开始玩很多cdpr的游戏，另外有做游戏的计划和完整的想法，但由于我目前也说不准的原因还没有开始付诸实践，啊，希望我来得及做个像样的东西，毕竟今年又有三次进行到执行阶段的自杀，因此失去了一些重要的人，但既然活了下来，那还得走下去。
虽然投身抗争本身就是另一种层面的自杀，我还是希望身边所有人不要被影响太多。这下今年算是开始封闭自己了，如果不再认识新的人，我想就能把危害性尽可能缩小。我不知道如果我有一天被捕，那我的朋友们将会面对的究竟是什么，唯一肯定的是我那时候一定会死。
一看前途又是一片灰暗呢！
当然还有太多没做完的，不知道2024我能活到哪一天，能做多少事。前天终于跑去上海试图确定自己是否adhd，复诊还要再过，噢天呐，偏偏是Aaron的祭日。唉，不论结果如何至少我能得到一个答案，这也是好事吧。
和Aaron Swartz一样，我依然希望整个世界能变得更好。十年前如此，至今也一样。
说来奇怪，我的第一直觉总是很准，十年前习上台的时候我就觉得——虽然那时候我还是个真正的没什么阅历的小孩——我不喜欢这个人，他的政治宣传让我不适，一定有坏事将会发生。现在看来，我看人和事的第一直觉总是非常准，这个国家正在缓慢地崩溃，被揭露的真相正逐渐印证十年前的预感，但它什么时候会彻底崩溃，我想谁也说不好。
以及，有时候我会觉得我有化腐朽为神奇的力量，不愿失去却失去的还是会回到我身边。有时候又觉得那不过是巧合和一点错觉。也许在我剩下的不多的时日里一切都会被慢慢证明，也许我到死永远也不会知道一些事情。但这不是我能控制的。我只能等待。黎明也许马上就要到来，也许黎明永远也不会到来。
所以还是希望2024多做点事吧，能多活一天就多做一点事吧，在我真的追着Aaron而去之前。也希望所有我爱的人都能一切安好，不论我身在何方，是否还能和你们见面。
那么明年见，或者也有可能像每天都是最后一天一样，这就是最后的年终总结了。

Swartz一样，我依然希望整个世界能变得更好。十年前如此，至今也一样。

有时候会觉得我有化腐朽为神奇的能力，失去的总会回来，有时候又意识到那只是概率问题，啊，但是如果指针能指在那微小的概率上该多好

From War Games, last heard in 2077🤔


"If the injustice is part of the necessary friction of the machine of government, let it go, let it go: perchance it will wear smooth--certainly the machine will wear out… but if it is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then I say, break the law. Let your life be a counter-friction to stop the machine. What I have to do is to see, at any rate, that I do not lend myself to the wrong which I condemn." - Henry David Thoreau
