Eh I'm not sure there is similarities but circlebroke can be, well it's been years since i spent much there, so obnoxiously po faced and anti-fun. Also the knee-jerk anti-reddit thing can really activate my almonds, like when they were pro-Romney back back in 2012(?).
Not really. He downloaded all their papers from MIT (MIT students all have access to jstor) and was probably going to do some statical analyst on them (He had done the same thing in the past with other stores) and got a ton of insane charges and pretty much bankrupted himself
It's like with Seth Rich, if they're dead you get to assume they share all of your views and values, and them having been murdered for being like yourself makes you basically a martyr as well.
Whenever I get banned from some sub for wrongthink, I always respond "Aaron Swartz would be ashamed of what you've turned his creation into." 4 out of 6 times, it's seemed to have pissed them off. Use their weird celebrity worship against them.
My whole issue with Wikileaks has nothing to do with them being a branch of the Russian propaganda services- the BBC has been broadcasting the pedo-face of Sir James Saville into Russia for years.
No, issue is with that dirty, kangaroo-fucking autist Assange and his whiny, cunt voice and womanly way of standing. The Ecuadorian diplomatic staff must have the patience of angels to tolerate that filthy fucker wandering around their embassy in his bathrobe stinking the place out with his B.O. and eating with his hands while dropping crumbs on the carpet.

That was worse than I thought it would be. They even singled out a certain user.

Aaaand, locked. Lol.

I love how so many people have turned Schwartz into some golden idol.
1 imissyouseattle 2018-08-01
Aaron would not be proud of Reddit today, no.
1 blumenstrauss3000 2018-08-01
Yeah usually people shouldn’t be proud of things they barely contributed to.

Get back on your main.

Didn't he rewrite it in Python?

Hey Spez.
1 Madaruto 2018-08-01
Didn't the guy crash jstor and commit suicide when that had consequences or something?
1 LightUmbra 2018-08-01
Are you saying that stealing people's work is not the epitome of freedom? Smh my head.
1 better_bot 2018-08-01
Spread information wherever possible! No secrets! Snape kills Dumbledore!

Are you saying that making reddit bots is not the epitome of freedom? Smh my head.
1 LightUmbra 2018-08-01
It's a freedom enshrined in the constitution.
1 CSharpApostle 2018-08-01
Preach brother.
1 Plexipus 2018-08-01
The right to peaceable assembly?
1 somegurk 2018-08-01
Journal publishing is an absolute shit show and the sooner elsevier et al. get the rope the better.
1 LightUmbra 2018-08-01
I actually don't really care that much about it. I just think people that worship Schwartz are idiots.
1 somegurk 2018-08-01
Agreed on that but dont be circlebroke about things.
1 LightUmbra 2018-08-01
But circlebroke is a good sub.
1 somegurk 2018-08-01
Like unironically?
1 LightUmbra 2018-08-01
Lol No
1 somegurk 2018-08-01
Phew, also your bot is my favorite commenter.
1 LightUmbra 2018-08-01
Which one
1 somegurk 2018-08-01
Long-post-bot? If thats its name, do you have a few floating about?
1 LightUmbra 2018-08-01
Bussyshillbot is also mine, but I stole most of it from SnapshillBot
1 Zachums 2018-08-01
Drama and circlebroke are two sides of the same coin, my dude. Both just engage in outrage porn more than anything.

I don't think people really have any idea who he was lmao
1 Fading_Joy 2018-08-01
No he was murderd much like his brother S E T H R I C H
1 NNewtoma 2018-08-01
Yep and once reality kicked in he offed himself. A true reddit hero.
1 youcanteatbullets 2018-08-01
He didn't "crash" anything; he downloaded all of their papers. Or tried to at least.

Locked, sad. I wanted to go in and remind everyone that Assange is a male feminist.
1 Starship_Litterbox_C 2018-08-01
Interesting that the |T|O|T|A|L| I/N/F/O/R/M/A/T/I/O/N \T\R\A\N\S\P\A\R\E\N\C\Y guy hasn't released these private messages himself 🤔🤔🤔
1 WithoutAComma 2018-08-01
The irony of WikiLeaks calling someone a rat, ffs you've got "leaks" in your name... It's somehow all about transparency tho I'm sure.
1 Xenepa 2018-08-01
Yet to see any of anti-semitic messages. Or do they mean criticising israel?
