From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I COULD MAKE IT ALL UPPERCASE IF THAT'S BETTER SPV.SH/BLOG/POSTS/LIVING_FOSS_UPPERCASE.MD

EDIT: UPPERCASE

Yes, actually! I love Knifepoint Horror, but I can't ever read any of the books because the tell-tale signs of readability weren't there and it breaks my brain. I can read all caps fine though.

not familiar, though i'm not much of a horror guy myself

i'm gonna assume based on context it's the kind of work my senior-year english teacher would have spent two classes having us discuss the meaning behind the punctuation (or lack thereof) and capitalization, with my attention divided between [i have redacted this for several reasons...]

I went back and looked and I think old boy just uses big chunka paragraphs. School sucks, you do you. I just figured I'd tell you I just can't read it. Uppercase is good stuff though, you had good things to say and I thought it was cute and you're very intelligent for a youngun'. You'll do well, just keep fostering your voice, skills and more of that purposeful consumerism. I'd like to read more about your phone, so I hope you share it some time.

Also horror sucks, I just love it. Don't worry about it.

Oh yeah, of course! I hope to see it, but I update by the hour so who the hell knows if I will. Either way best of luck. I often remember fucking up is just part of the learning process. So if you break something, just learn from it. When you make your first public phone, I'll line up.
