I was browsing a Peertube instance earlier and stumbled upon a copy of The Internet's Own Boy, a documentary about Aaron Swartz.
I haven't seen it before so I decided to give it a watch.
By the end of it I was in tears, I don't think I've seen anything in a while that made me cry like that.
Also, I had no idea he co-authored the RSS 1.0 specification, wow.

@staticsafe universities are extremely quick to throw colleagues and students under the bus in order to make negative press disappear as quickly as possible, as anyone who has ever tried fighting for victims of sexual assault at university knows
for them, it is all about optics and donors, and saying/doing nothing is often the fastest way of making a story disappear, regardless of justice
