Ummm I have no real idea what nostr is but I do know that every reply I get from there is semi-unintelligible, somehow about BTC, and the usernames make no sense. I guess that's just part of the federation game

Thinking of Aaron Swartz today & I’m stuck on this photo - he & OpenAI CEO Sam Altman (both circled) each scraped 1000s of docs but one did it to make the knowledge free for all while the other did it to make $$$$ through probabilistic plagiarism. The US DOJ only came after one of them & the other is feted by tech bros and executives.

Thank you Aaron for so much, for RSS, for Markdown, for Creative Commons and more. I’m sorry our society failed you.

I had the cutest alarm clock this morning
