The article title is actually "How I use my terminal"
- Hard_Space 1y agoThought that this was going to be a 'There Will Be Blood' spoof. (In case not obvious, current title is 'I use my terminal')
- fitsumbelay 1y agonoticed this too after skimming the post, feels like the full title = "I use my terminal (and so should you )" Plus one for pro-terminal posts. As a chromebooker I've found that all I need is terminal and browser. Switching to my Mac OS seems kinda maximalist and I rarely use much outside of the terminal and, you know, more browsers
- babelfish 1y agoHN will automatically trim some common prefixes and suffixes from title submissions
- progbits 1y agoThis is a HN "feature" removing How if it's the first word in the title. It serves no purpose other than generating confusion, with mods saying this somehow stops clickbait. How, you wonder? Nobody knows.
- littlerbooks 1y agoWeird. I see a post titled "How to store Go pointers from assembly" literally three posts below this one.
- happytoexplain 1y agoI believe the submitter can manually reject the auto-modified title, but they have to notice that it was modified. (I could be wrong about that)
- Stratoscope 1y agoYou are correct.
- indigodaddy 1y agoNot quite reject exactly, you can just edit the title afterward for some X amount of time.

- Stratoscope 1y agoReminder to anyone submitting an article: you have two hours to edit the title to fix these alterations.
- rbanffy 1y agoI believe these changes are intended to defang some clickbaity titles, but you are right that it maims some perfectly good ones.
- adastra22 1y agoYou wonder?
- osmsucks 1y agoI thought this was going to be a blog post about somebody using a terminal emulator they wrote.
- philwelch 1y agoAnd I thought this was going to be a blog post about someone hooking up an old fashioned hardware terminal to their PC.
