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.

you hate lower-case or monospace? hopefully not dr seuss, too, or shoo, shoo, you!
I love monospace, I hate lower-case. Which is a shame, because it looks terribly interesting.
I COULD MAKE IT ALL UPPERCASE IF THAT'S BETTER SPV.SH/BLOG/POSTS/LIVING_FOSS_UPPERCASE.MD
EDIT: UPPERCASE
What is your reasoning for not just using capital letters where grammar requires it? I agree with OP, it makes it very annoying to read the way it is now.
hipster stubbornness
or a lengthy argument about how language is whatever we make it, pick your poison
soz :P
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...]
LoL... looks like a EULA in Uppercase
Much prefer that you do your stuff the way you want, and lowercase makes it feel like it's hand written
yeah, i prefer lowercase as i find it comes off more casual / authentic
shit, i am a hipster, aren't i
