I’m actually surprised at how benign this report is. It’s all stuff we more or less already know. I wanted to see the couches.

This is 90s thinking. Why must terminal emulators only be text and only do things that a physical terminal could?

I keep trying to imagine what abandoning TTY interfaces in Linux would look like and I can’t comprehend the rework that would be required. It’s so fundamentally different.

For example, how would the SSH protocol work? How would that be compatible? Would we have to abandon SSH or always X forward?

There is definitely a pressure to extend beyond standard TTY. Tmux captures mouse action and has a window management system. fish shell has autocomplete. But both of these still use the same medium of text.

I may simply lack imagination.

TIL viu exists.

I think the issue fundamentally is that this isn’t what terminal emulators are. The terminal emulator initializes a TTY session and enters a shell environment (sh, zsh, fish, etc). The medium is text and cannot be anything else.

Begin able to view images in the terminal would be amazing alone - just like you can cat a text file. I would hate to need to launch a GUI program every time I wanted to see what was inside a text file but that is exactly what I need to do for images or PDFs.

Would be convenient. There are things like neofetch’s backend capabilities that magically embeds images, but I don’t know how it works and it might not be scalable.

Being able to collapse the output of a command would be nice as well.

Skill issue. Pipe your output to something (like a file or the “less” command)

They should put controls on lathes and mills to prevent making guns. Metal guns are a lot more effective than plastic guns anyways. /s

These Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 mods are getting out of hand.

It’s called a LTS (Long Term Support) builds versus the current build. There is even sometimes ELTS (Extended Long Term Support)

it seems the STAR credit is not available to new homeowners. It’s only available to people who are grandfathered in.

You might be looking at the enhancement STAR which has more complex requirements. Here is the PDF for new homeowners and here is the actual eligibility page.

edit: OH you are looking at the STAR exemption vs the STAR credit. Yeah it’s basically the same thing. One is applied to your taxes before you receive your tax bill (and is being phased out since 2015) and the other is a direct deposit you receive. Same amount.

NY has this. What you have described is the STAR tax credit. This credit only applies to school taxes (2-3k a year)

so this is a very strange thing to see you commenting.

It’s because I didn’t include the “/s” at the end of the comment.

432 is definitely a troll/bot account. He calls a lot of comment sections a liberal echo chamber.

TIL neofetch came out in 2015. I just assumed it was one of those packages that existed since the dawn of computers

Wow. This comment is just another liberal echo chamber. 🙄

Surely his own supporters know him well enough to know he would do the Fox debate and then skip the ABC debate, right,? It’s just how he works.

someone will insist it’s ranked choice but I’m not convinced that’s the best method.

Why not?

But we won’t know for sure until after she is elected and that gives voters hope.

When Biden was on the ballot, voters didn’t see him as someone who could take radical steps to address the number of underlying issues plaguing the country.

A vote for Biden was a vote for the status quo. The status quo is a slow decline into fascism.
