Aaron Swartz. Born on this day! November 8, 1986. He would have been 33 today.

November 9 will be observed all over the world as Aaron Swartz Day — an annual event to celebrate Aaron Swartz’s legacy as an activist, programmer, entrepreneur & political organizer.

Hackathons would be organised, where diverse & passionate folks would gather & exchange ideas with each other, who believe in Freedom of #Information & #Education and Securing Digital Space for all.

Remember 9th November! 💜

Here it is! I wrote up about building Terminal Phase, a space shooter which runs in your terminal, using the Racket programming language https://dustycloud.org/blog/terminal-phase-prototype/

Our lead developer was recently laid off from his job, your support via Patreon, Open Collective and other platforms means a lot during this difficult time.

We've come too far to give up now, progress may be slower for the next few weeks.

The Chinese edition of my new book, #PermanentRecord, has just been censored. This violates the publishing agreement, so I'm going to resist it the way I know best: it's time to blow the whistle. You can help. Here's how: (THREAD) https://t.co/FjvFFsrW4e

It’s been an absolutely long Monday you all . I be chilling with some chai . Waddup people ?

Both:

🍍 You should avoid Google products, because it's a predatory company that is hurting all of us, and may hurt its users specifically and opting out as much as possible is wise

AND

:Ananas: You shouldn't have to avoid Google products; the onus really *should* be on them, and it is totally understandable that not everyone can spend all day learning about privacy violating predatory companies, and how to avoid them

A cyberpineapple for my new and old friends alike.

I always mention Michael Corleone from Mario Puso's Godfather. He was not involved in the mafia activities till he got hit on the face by a police officer. Most people usually don't care as long some one they don't know is suffering. So when someone they know gets hit, they wake up. Same for #Scribus migration, it started when some news papers got fined by Adobe.

For those who are #NewHere, I'd like share another aspect of #mastodon that brought many of us here much before the current wave. Mastodon is Free Software (sometimes called as Open Source or Free and Open Source Software). It means anyone is Free to use, study, modify and share the software. This means we are not dependent on any single entity (person, company, country...) and we can be self-reliant.
