btw yes he fucking hated spez from the beginning
- Turns out he was a good judge of character
  
  so good the cia killed him for his wikileaks work
I thought it was Aaron Swartz?

Anyway here is a really good documentary about him and his death.
- "ily" stands for "I love you"
  
  Is that like when my grandmother signs messages about funerals with lol?
  
  I kinda knew that, but didn't get it because "I love you Swartz" was a weird way to say it :D
- Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/gpvcc9C8SbM
  
  Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
  
  I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
- yeah, what i wrote
if youre going to r/place honor his name
He's not really a creator of reddit. Just his startup and reddit got merged at that time when they were in the same incubator
- spez couldnt code for shit, swartz built that fucker himself sweat and tears. genuinrly one of the greatest mjnds of our generation
  
  He was also responsible for the whole simple hacker-y design / vibe that helped lure people from decadent beveled-everything Digg.
if youre going to r/place at coords 91 85 build ily swartz
