#2This is a beautiful example of FOSS culture at work.
In what world would corporate, closed-source software engage in this kind of earnest truth-telling without the propellers of mergers, acquisitions, or takeovers?

#3> GTK and most of the GNOME project are much of the same. Avoid them and don't make the mistake of thinking their libraries are meant for others to use.
Choose your dependencies wisely. Sometimes only a crystal ball would have helped but often, a little bit of due dilligence would have prevented lots of upgrade pain down the line.

#4I've been using Alacritty in Garuda Linux and having a blast with it! It is really awesome!
Latte bugs are not though :(

#5Does Alacritty still require you to copy terminfo to remote servers in order for backspace to work? I loved Alacritty, but copying terminfo every time gets old pretty quickly.

#6And slowly the world got a rewrite in Rust… :)

i haven’t observed that behavior at any time.

I agree, but also in the corporate world there would be incentives for innovation to better compete or finding niche markets. It's not all bad

#9I find this kind of interaction interesting having used both termite and alacritty. Honestly I would have never expected maintainers of what I perceived as a fairly popular terminal to just go, welp use the other guys. This is kind of neat.
I had already been using alacritty for a while because it had wayland support, even though it has some weird bugs on my current i3 setup where creating a new terminal just creates an unresponsive window that has to be killed through htop. Other than that it's been great, and there is something satisfying about cat /udev/random and the text that flies by with GPU acceleration.

#10I liked termite because of the keyboard based selection mode and the minimal functionality. Wasn't aware that Alacrity supports that now. Alacrity is my choice for Windows, but unfortunately I cannot use it on WSL2, because it needs GLX features, which are not available. I hope I can soon use the new WSL2 graphics support
