I actually see some use cases for this. It's one of those should be nonsense projects that somehow isn't.

What use cases do you see?

Yea, gotta be honest here; I’m struggling to see many use cases here other than 3d graphs. I really don’t need a spinning 3d rat cursor.

Checking 3d models in a directory inside my terminal to see what's what without opening an application and clicking 100 times.

.. over ssh. In a tmux. After disconnecting and reconnecting.

This is a great idea. I always wanted KDE konsole to e. g. show images inlined as is. This is possible via magick six:-, but I wanted this to be natively. I want the terminal to be able to work with any data and display it in any way. No need to simulate the 1980s era anymore (except for backwards/legacy support). So great idea here really.

Kitty and several other terminal emulators, have built in graphics display already. IIRC, this is called the kitty protocol, but I might be mistaken.

I did that with Sixels, no Rust needed, no 3D crap, no ad-hoc addons, just old vt340 support in XTerm.

That's how I read images under a remote pubnix with tut using a Mastodon account over plain SSH.

Chafa and XTerm. It works.

I was going to comment how it reminded me of TempleOS and the author should look into that, but the accompanying blog post explains how it was inspired by it https://blog.orhun.dev/introducing-ratty/

Any technical reason for such a strong opinion?

He constantly used the N word to describe black people and always was warning people about how evil black people were. I’m not making this up, go watch his streams.

Hold up.. is that your definition of a technical reason?
iwontberude 1 hour ago||
Yes and I can appreciate why you don’t see it as technical, but software should be made to help users. I was brought up the ACM way.

It looks like he has schizophrenia which I would argue is a mental illness, a strong one.

Why are you so invested in TempleOS?

Mental illness is no excuse for vile white Christian nationalism and hate against blacks. Miss me with that ignorance.

It’s clear how hateful he is from just watching his streams. It’s not a tick or a symptom of a clinical issue, it’s a deep seated belief that was only exposed to us because of his schizophrenia.

Yes I have empathy for him and I also recognize that he is a menace and probably is better unknown. We are spoiled for choice anyways.

So just to be clear, a human being can't think properly / straight anymore, has issues forming a coherent worldview, has regularly crazy maniac phases were he would drive like 100 miles, dismantle his car, throw away his keys but you do not accept any of this as a reasonable excuse that that particular human is not able to break out or even manifests stereotypical thoughts?

The mental base mode you are born, is a community of christians, parents forming your mind etc. and you have to break out of this, formulate your own independet worldview. A lot of people can't do that today. All religios people in fact.

Plenty of woman can't break out of absuve relationships, familys protecting someone inside the family even if they are rapists due to "family is family; what would others think of us" etc. and thats were you draw the line for that Human being?

I think you're being fair overall, but I would also say that OP in this thread reply is highlighting something worthwhile. If Terry were a misogynist, I don't think this thread would have taken as long to recall his abnormal behavior. But that's just, like, my opinion.

It is just software. TempleOS and this project just looks cool.
