    What prevents the hacker from cloning the whole web-page of, say, facebook.com login and phish users for credentials this way? This is not a hyphotetical thing, Kali Linux even bun…

    I have to say though, the responder to the first comment did a bad job at conveying what exactly refterm is... Apparently people falsely think that refterm is a terminal emulator a…

    Then again, refterm doesn't f*ck it up. It still renders proportional font; just aligned to tiles. It is essentially doing the same as for emoji.

    The "font some random HN commenter happened to use" is some f****** proportional Calibri. I want to see someone use it in any terminal emulator. Refterm defaults to Cascadia Code, …

    How is it not applicable when the thing at question is rendering text and rendering is the core of game development? This argument is stupid. Do you have to be a slowpoke to develo…

    Exactly, but banks aren't a good example. Some people here mention feature plateaus and completeness of the app. Obvious question is, what should the employer then do? The software…
