Recently I broke my terminal emulator's config while I didn't have an internet connection so I had to use a virtual terminal to fix it. It made me wonder, does anybody use virtual terminals as their daily drivers?

Phones have legitimate uses in cars. Satnav, music, or even just an indication that you just pull over and answer a phone. Given that I've never used one illegally, I think it's fair for me not to want to go through a power cycle

GIMP 2.10 felt like a big step-up in quality-of-life changes for me, I really recommend giving it a go if you've got an older version (Ubuntu 18.04 has 2.8)

Workers at a firing range I used to go to were sent home for weeks if they were exposed to too much lead. I am shocked a well funded army couldn't do the same.

My phone is a worse music player than my 2007 iPod was. Less storage, much lower battery life, slower UI. It doesn't have streaming but the Euler diagram of 'times when I want to use a music player' and 'times when I don

I had a loose SMD chip in an old phone which I fixed by jamming cardboard from a pack of Fig Newtons between the case and the logic board. I recommend choosing a bit without the filling on.
