Powerline is an easy way to make your shell prompt more informative (and fancy). One of the things it shows is the exit code (if non-zero) of the last command. It seems also useful to show the duration of the last command.

This is an interesting trick that I noticed if you are running KWin: you can very easily forcefully quit a program. Press Ctrl + Alt + Esc, and the cursor is replaced by a skull.

You may have noticed on some pages of this site that I license quite some things under CC0. For example, the Blob font and some programs for graphics calculators.

In this article I want to explain why I do this.
