  • alacritty

    A cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator.

    Project mention: Terminal Latency | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-19

    It's opinionated, which comes with upsides and downsides. I won't blame the maintainer to keep things focused, feature creep (even for worthy features) can kill a FOSS project.

    Another example is sixel support, there's a fork where it all works but is not sufficiently "proven" (code quality just as well as sixel being the best fit for the problem)

    https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/pull/4763#issuecommen...

    It may be annoying but I get the reasoning, and there are other terminals.

  • ChatGPT

    🔮 ChatGPT Desktop Application (Mac, Windows and Linux)

    Project mention: What AI assistants are already bundled for Linux? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-01

    > I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a native Linux AI-assisted assistant.

    On Mac when I press Command + Space, it brings up Spotlight search

    That can't easily be added to be the equivalent of some kind of LLM prompt on GNOME/KDE/XFCE?

    I don't quite know what you'd ask it/do with it that would be of much value? Seems like a quicker way/a wrapper around either asking an LLM questions via CLI or basically Electron wrapping HTML (like this https://github.com/lencx/ChatGPT)?
