Features - Wez's Terminal Emulator Wez's Terminal Emulator

Wezterm, it's excellent. Lua for config, tmux-like things out of the box, awesome ssh features … wezterm.org/features.html

No 'quick fullscreen' like nearly every other terminal (though of course you can keybind a native fullscreen maximization of a window) but really that's the only thing I miss

My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.

Deepfaking Orson Welles’s Mangled Masterpiece Will an A.I. restoration of β€œThe Magnificent Ambersons” right a historic wrong or desecrate a classic?

In 1942, RKO slashed 43 minutes from Orson Welles's "The Magnificent Ambersons" and slapped on a happy ending. Now, an A.I. company wants to restore what was lost. Are they righting a historic wrong or descrating a classic? My deep dive, in this week's New Yorker. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
