#44Android I have a computer in my pocket but I am not allowed to do even the most basic stuff I would like to do with it. Like using a shell to work on my files, use git for version control and to sync to other machines, use vim to edit text ... the list goes on forever. Heck, I cannot even easily backup all of my data. Like the contacts for example. No way to read the files in which they are stored.
I don't use or condone Android (it's just on my backup phone), but have you checked out Termux?

#50PTC Creo. My company specifically omits it from the job description because they know they'll get fewer applicants, yet they refuse to change. The go-to response is "you just need training". Training that no competing CAD programs require.
