#12RIP. He might have only been
a backer but he helped pave the way for P2P torrenting getting mainstream attention and eternally pissing off the content mafia in true hacker spirit.

#13So many tragic plane incidents lately. Is there any reason for this increased occurence, or is it actually within normal margins?
We are getting older and so are your heroes. They just die.
It sometimes feels the more evil you are, the longer you live.
Larry Silverstein, George Soros, Rupert Murdoch, Charles Koch, Donald Trump are enjoying their best lives.
And before that, David Rockefeller (til 101 years!).
Life is unfair from the beginning.

Only the good die young. I like the Iron Maiden song.

Small planes like that crash all the time. You’re just hearing about it because we’re all on high alert - and in this circumstance, because the deceased has some fame.
I think Harrison Ford crashed TWO.

#17Just a reminder to everyone that The Pirate Bay was set up to facilitate copyright infringement on a large scale, depriving creators of significant earnings for their work. The involvement of anyone in this is both illegal and immoral.
Something to consider before lauding Carl Lundström for his contribution. Also consider that he was a white supremacist and was deeply involved in far right politics.
He was not a man who deserves a glowing eulogy.

When I was much younger, my mom worked for a wealthy small business owner. Her job involved overnight supervision of pregnant horses; the foals were very valuable, and the owners of the sires were paid handsomely. Anyway, sometimes I would go along for a sleep over, enjoy the adventure of being away from home, play some pinball. Whatever.
Anyway, one day (as an adult) I met the owner, shook his hand. No big deal. But the very next day I was driving along and saw black smoke, and found out later that it was coming from a helicopter crash, and one of the victims was the man I had met and shook hands with a day earlier.
It was really eerie, and of course had a relatively direct affect on our lives, not just mentally / emotionally, but ultimately the stable changed ownership and my mom ended up having to get a different job.
If there's a point, sometimes crashes (and deaths) don't matter to us, personally (even if they matter to plenty of other people), and sometimes they do. You definitely notice the ones that matter to you personally, or are just on a larger scale than is normal.

The only thing glowing here is this comment.

Just a reminder that your moral or political opinions aren't universally or law.
