Inline graphics from 1981,
Here is another video, this time with S-PACKAGE used to develop Nintendo 64.

Which given the REPL capabilities, you can easily embedd them on it, just like the other video.
I kind of got the impression that whenever Terry didn't know how to do something, he would just convince himself that that's not what God wanted anyway and stop doing it.
also smalltalk
we used oberon in one class in university. i don't remember much unfortunately.

That had me in stitches.

Joking apart, the whole thing was both an exercise in madness and genius. Sometimes I wonder what he would have done if he had not gone crazy. We will never know...

This might overtake “a haiku+macOS mashup” as my idealised computing future.
What's overlooked here are the insane political and economic forces that were required to get anywhere close to the (sort of!) consistent implementation of plain text we have today. These projects try to piggyback off that success yet only contribute back harm. We have standards for a reason.
I'm not saying people can't have fun, but don't try to start a cyberpunk-inspired revolution and then blame the side effects of groupthink and software rot on everyone else when it goes sideways.
Questions:
- rendering capabilities of this seem like it should also be able to handle 2d well, or am I mistaken? every solution I see for getting high quality 2d images or rasterization in terminal is all pretty bad. Could this do better than other solutions or is there a fundamental limit being hit somewhere?
- What happens with ssh given that this is gpu accelerated?
Super slow, but I guess thats what web devs want.

Which is what Claude Code CLI uses (or was using?) and it caused many issues such as flickering, thrashing, and latency.
Compiz 3d effects were ultimately a useless gimmick and I predict this is too.
It's the ability to convey more information in less space.
Top-of-my-head notion: The cursor spins (or changes in another way) to reflect CPU use, or bandwidth use, instead of taking up space elsewhere on the screen.
edit: But your spirit lives on ( based on the project:D )
Then spend their tokens on abominations like this
Make it make sense
It's not hypocrisy when different people do different things.
Any technical reason for such a strong opinion?
Why are you so invested in TempleOS?
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.
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.
> When I first got introduced to [TempleOS], I was shocked and impressed by the flashy colors, graphical sprites and uncomprehensible UI. There are so many things that makes it so unique, weird and fascinating at the same time, somehow.... Basically, the command line becomes the direct interface for everything. You can write code, interact with the system and render graphics all in the same place, which is why TempleOS feels so unusual compared to conventional operating systems.
I think this could be a really cool approach. I enjoy tools like Chafa, imgcat, etc but something always feels a little clunky about the separation between text and images. Paradoxically having text and non-text all jumbled up like this feels better somehow.
Then I added WebGL and WebGPU renderers [1], including support for Kitty.
Then I see this this project on a Monday morning... so now I have to implement Ratty Graphics Protocol?!?! [2].
ETA: I looked into this; Ghostty would need patched to support Ratty since Ghostty-Web now defers APC handling there. It would also require pulling in a 3D engine like three.js or otherwise implementing file parsing, lighting, etc. Finally, since local filenames are part of the protocol, a browser would need some file resolver helper, either to get the data over the APC channel or via a URL.

You could also do really cool text highlights by working with light sources and shader effects
Another feature I'm looking for is smooth scrolling when you hit enter. I've had debates before where they claim it's not possible, that the text must jump one line. But I think it's possible, by shifting the frame buffer up.
My second reaction: "Oh wait is that TempleOS being cited? This is either awesome or terrible."
I tried something similar a few months ago that acts more as a library to ratatui than a separate terminal emulator [0].
Was surprised how far one can get using some off the shelf characters like half-block when rasterizing.
The Glyph protocol mentioned in the blog post is interesting … perhaps custom glyphs could help smooth some of the (literal) rough edges from the low effective resolution of a terminals character grid.
Brilliant. The dream lives on! This is the best form of paying respects.
It's walking a fine line between madness and genius, and who knows if it'll ever be practical, but more important is the sense of wonder and "fuck yeah" as King Terry expressed so eloquently.
That's how I read images under a remote pubnix with tut using a Mastodon account over plain SSH.
Chafa and XTerm. It works.
