What sorts of uses do you have on a phone where a terminal is useful?
- magicalhippo 6y agoManaging your servers from the bar? Half-jokes aside, keep in mind you can use small Bluetooth keyboards and get a micro-laptopish experience, or connect the phone to a monitor or TV and use a large Bluetooth keyboard to get a more desktop-like experience. I imagine a terminal could work very well in those settings, if you need one.

- fomine3 6y agoNo one made youtube-dl GUI wrapper app, is it really?
- cercatrova 6y agoThey did, it's called NewPipe
- yjftsjthsd-h 6y agoDoes NewPipe support all the sites that youtube-dl does? I know they cover more than just YT itself, but youtube-dl's coverage is massive.
