Traveling through Paris in 1989 I met a guy who had a terminal at his place, and explained to me what a boon it was for gay guys to meet up with each other, socialize, and make friends. I have no doubt that gay men partly drove Minitel adop

Careful, some apps seem to rely on those animations. Uber, I've found, has issues displaying the location of the vehicle if I set them all to 0.0. No problem if I set them to 0.5.

It's a pity they never got to release their rollable phone. I hope another OEM launches one (Samsung? Google? Apple?).
