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 bet it does: https://ncase.me/fireflies/
I should really create a list of websites too actually, but I think I'd be broke after donating to all of them.
I think thats quite unrelated as its about synchronisation not about "every bit counts". Great website though
Yep. Fascinating read, completely unrelated.
@mexicancartel @anguo I don't consider it unrelated at all: “What small-scale interaction will you make today, little firefly?”
Hence “every little bit counts.”
I see it more like the opposite. Even if you made some difference in timings it still syncs. Even if "firefly you" didn't exist, it makes no difference...
