I watched the animated gif in the readme and let out a shout of delight when I saw the lightning strike, and on the second loop appreciated how it also lit up the surroundings. Lovely attention to detail! I looked at the snow one and almost expected snowdrifts to start accumulating.

For me (in firefox) whole screen froze for a sec/two when lightning hit.

TUI twice (1) a day. Interesting tendency. 1. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47075124

I'm convinced we are cycling through the stages of programming as it becomes commoditized.

Thin clients next month?

No need, my minitel is still running.

Maybe try a virtual power-stabilizer/battery-backup to protect from voltage spikes like this ;)

I'm currently using Ghostty with Zellij, and there has been a constant tension w.r.t whether I should use a zellij feature or a Ghostty one (i.e, tabs/panes/etc) when they provide the same thing.

I've come to the conclusion to rely more on Zellij because I can SSH into my desktop from my laptop remotely to continue my dev session exactly where I left off.

So, these days I don't even use "native" terminal tabs anymore.
