The article title is actually "How I use my terminal"

This 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.

Weird. I see a post titled "How to store Go pointers from assembly" literally three posts below this one.

I 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)

You are correct.

Not quite reject exactly, you can just edit the title afterward for some X amount of time.
