kaizenbon SoundCloud has banned VPN access

Yes mostly about this. I can't use SoundCloud (or Spotify) in Serato DJ Pro to connect and play songs, not available in my country. But Apple Music connected, so moving my archive there.

What is Marvis? I'm transitioning from Spotify to Apple Music and Last.fm doesn't have integration. Does Marvis solves this problem?

kaizenbon The Internet's Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz (2014) [video]

Even just repeating his name gives me goosebumps, makes me sad, angry, feeling all together. I don't know, the system I hate so much, because of the ones that've always betrayed people like Aaron.

Such great documentary if you haven't watched already and know about this amazing human being.

His website (http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/) is still online if you also want to read what he was thinking and making, before they cornered him, forced him, feared him, took his hope and killed him. I'm so sorry man, rest in peace.

Edit: I sometimes remember him with Tim Berners-Lee's poem:

Aaron is dead.

Wanderers in this crazy world, we have lost a mentor, a wise elder.

Hackers for right, we are one down, we have lost one of our own.

Nurtures, careers, listeners, feeders, parents all, we have lost a child.

Let us all weep.
