I like this. No reason the terminal should only support text. Data science notebooks show one way the terminal can evolve. Lots of interesting stuff happening in this space, with Kitty probably being the most aggressive innovator here [1]. I'm not sure there is an overall vision, though.
Mix this 3d graphics, with data science notebooks, with local LLMs, and perhaps an integrated coding harness, with visibility over your personal data and you’d have something absurdly good.
This might overtake “a haiku+macOS mashup” as my idealised computing future.
I wonder if something like this could work for thumbnails in the terminal; I prefer to browse my filesystem from a terminal rather than the point and click file manager typically, and it would be really useful if I could have a grid-style `ls` with terminal based renders of the 3d models (thinking STL/STEP, 3D printing) in that directory. Bonus points if I could preview/rotate the model to inspect it.
Joking apart, the whole thing was both an exercise in madness and genius. Sometimes I wonder what he would have done if he had not gone crazy. We will never know...
- rendering capabilities of this seem like it should also be able to handle 2d well, or am I mistaken? every solution I see for getting high quality 2d images or rasterization in terminal is all pretty bad. Could this do better than other solutions or is there a fundamental limit being hit somewhere?
- What happens with ssh given that this is gpu accelerated?
Always has been meme incoming. Also, more seriously, the purpose of a tool is to do a job. The question becomes whether this tool can be made useful. I.. honestly don't know, but I will be finding out soon:D
I was going to comment how it reminded me of TempleOS and the author should look into that, but the accompanying blog post explains how it was inspired by it https://blog.orhun.dev/introducing-ratty/
He constantly used the N word to describe black people and always was warning people about how evil black people were. I’m not making this up, go watch his streams.
Mental illness is no excuse for vile white Christian nationalism and hate against blacks. Miss me with that ignorance.
It’s clear how hateful he is from just watching his streams. It’s not a tick or a symptom of a clinical issue, it’s a deep seated belief that was only exposed to us because of his schizophrenia.
Yes I have empathy for him and I also recognize that he is a menace and probably is better unknown. We are spoiled for choice anyways.
So just to be clear, a human being can't think properly / straight anymore, has issues forming a coherent worldview, has regularly crazy maniac phases were he would drive like 100 miles, dismantle his car, throw away his keys but you do not accept any of this as a reasonable excuse that that particular human is not able to break out or even manifests stereotypical thoughts?
The mental base mode you are born, is a community of christians, parents forming your mind etc. and you have to break out of this, formulate your own independet worldview. A lot of people can't do that today. All religios people in fact.
Plenty of woman can't break out of absuve relationships, familys protecting someone inside the family even if they are rapists due to "family is family; what would others think of us" etc. and thats were you draw the line for that Human being?

I think you're being fair overall, but I would also say that OP in this thread reply is highlighting something worthwhile. If Terry were a misogynist, I don't think this thread would have taken as long to recall his abnormal behavior. But that's just, like, my opinion.
Really fun project! Dude, I spent the last week implementing Kitty Graphics and Clipboard protocols in ghostty-web in the Canvas render.
Then I added WebGL and WebGPU renderers [1], including support for Kitty.
Then I see this this project on a Monday morning... so now I have to implement Ratty Graphics Protocol?!?! [2].
ETA: I looked into this; Ghostty would need patched to support Ratty since Ghostty-Web now defers APC handling there. It would also require pulling in a 3D engine like three.js or otherwise implementing file parsing, lighting, etc. Finally, since local filenames are part of the protocol, a browser would need some file resolver helper, either to get the data over the APC channel or via a URL.
This is a great idea. I always wanted KDE konsole to e. g. show images inlined as is. This is possible via magick six:-, but I wanted this to be natively. I want the terminal to be able to work with any data and display it in any way. No need to simulate the 1980s era anymore (except for backwards/legacy support). So great idea here really.
Inline graphics from 1981,

That had me in stitches.

Is that what you're looking for?
edit: But your spirit lives on ( based on the project:D )
Any technical reason for such a strong opinion?
Why are you so invested in TempleOS?

That's how I read images under a remote pubnix with tut using a Mastodon account over plain SSH.
Chafa and XTerm. It works.
