    Images in the terminal? At that point you’re just reinventing the GUI.

      How am I supposed to get previews working in Yazi then? It’s not 1969 anymore. If you don’t like it stay on tty.

        I just don’t see the advantage of shoehorning graphics backwards into text interfaces when we’ve got an entire integrated graphical desktop.

      It’s very convenient for terminal based file managers. I use it to preview my wallpapers images and then i use a keybind to set it as the wallpaper for my window manager. I also recently started using rmpc, an mpd client that can display album art.

      you are aware that TUI has been a standard thing for ages, right? wanting GUI features inside a terminal isn’t new and i’m not sure if you had a point with this comment other than trying to dunk on them…
