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.

Have you learned nothing from paywalled articles and blogs from 2002? You get them interested in what you have to say. Make them laugh. Compliment them. Put in a little work first.
By then you'll both be so into it that nicely asking for what you want to do is a mere (but neccessary) formality (consent is always required -- Ed.).
Then after a few paragraphs you whip out the unskippable popup and stop the fun until they show you the goods, and they'll give up that fake email address you want so bad willingly.
You don't go right for it right out of the gate and shoot your wad immediately. It's a good way to make sure no wants to check you out again. It's just bad form. People talk.
Furiously taking notes.... Not really though, while substack has some annoying behavior, setting a paywall is up the the writer. I turned it off.
