👑 COOP-COMPUTING-TOOLS — section 1 of the manual, bestie

okay so. this is coop-computing-tools, manual section 1, and it's literally the whole vibe of sharing resources across a messy, chaotic, honestly-kind-of-unreliable computing environment. she's a collective, she's a squad, she's the friend group of Unix programs that all text each other. 💖
