Congratulations! You and the Russian should have sex, and have lots of kid, so you can fill at least one household with people who love your bland, featureless, half-assed, buggy terminal emulator. 100 years from now humans will be exploring the galaxy and the GUI will have been long replaced by telepathic interfaces, but your great grandkids will still be struggling to get your half-baked terminal emulator to support basic features that Xterm already had in the 80s, such as a scrollback buffer. lol Still laughing my ass off at the claim that 32-64k lines of code supporting a myriad of functionality and old systems going back decades is "bloated." Funny, it doesn't feel bloated when I press the shortcut key and the terminal window appears INSTANTLY on my screen. With the lame "scrollback buffer" patch applied to st on the other hand, it takes SECONDS to load--because it's completely inefficient, juvenile code implemented in the worst possible way. Oh, right, no big deal, just use st+tmux to get a scrollback buffer. Yeah, I just love running two programs instead of one, Because Reasons. And how many lines of code is tmux again? Oops, it's just as big as Xterm. Twice the size of rxvt. Checkmate. The people of Hacker News are idiots in their own way, but one thing those people get right is the widespread recognition that self-proclaimed "suckless" software is mostly a bunch of featureless junk, with the pride-and-joy st 'terminal emulator' being the canonical example of garbage that this "movement" dumps out onto the world. Maybe that's why there's like 3 people who ever post here. Most people don't like to use software that actually SUCKS. Dave
