That wasn't the only part I was referring to. The edges around the letters on the license plates are weirdly lumpy. Every license plate Ive seen in Europe and the US are generally cleanly printed/stamped. These look hand painted. But I was never behind the Iron Curtain. It just looks very "AI smoothed" to me.

But everything about this picture feels weirdly AI. The logo on all of the pumps is just slightly different in each iteration. The guy's face. The texture on the wall down the entire left side, which somehow bleeds over the front of the car. The license plate on the left car has some numbers but the letters don't even look Cyrillic, they're just kinda mush.

So "Cyrillic letters on the license plate" aside, this photo is just FULL of weird AI anomalies.

Based on the states I know, some of the surprising rural areas are where state universities are.

All lives matter! Except the ones I personally deem undeserving of assistance.

The point of a terminal like this isn't necessarily to have more features. I have the tabs turned off (I also just use tmux). The point is to render smoothly and look/feel nice.

Some people would rather spend a lot of money on a nice pen. It still is just a pen that writes. No additional features over a 25 cent Bic pen. But the smoothness of the writing, the hand feel, consistency of line thickness, etc... to some people that matters. No extra features, it just looks and feels a bit better... But if all you are doing is writing a grocery list, you may not care. And if you don't care, you aren't wrong. This just doesn't apply to you. If you don't have a reason, you don't need to find one. It's just not applicable.

But some people do care. They do have a reason. And they are also not wrong to care. Their reasons just may not apply to you because you have different workloads or priorities (or maybe they do, and you just haven't realized that it's a thing you care about)

I think this just happens to fall under the category of "some people care about milliseconds of rendering time, and some people don't." I don't know if the GPU acceleration has anything to do with it, but this terminal emulator also has really good font rendering.

If you are happy with your current terminal emulator, continue using it. If you heavily use your terminal emulator for a lot of things and in some things you've found that it stutters a bit, and you wished it was a bit smoother, get a GPU accelerated terminal emulator.

And secret bonus option: Even if you are happy with your current terminal emulator, give it a try anyway. Ghostty has a "zero configuration" policy where their goal is for most people to never need to configure anything. Sane defaults. It's a good out of the box experience. Give it a few test drives, and if you're still perplexed about why you should care, then maybe it's just not for you and you can switch back. If you go "that was pretty smooth, i dont have a reason to switch back" then maybe you'll think about it differently.

I was using alacritty. Ghostty feels snappy like you said. I dont know if it's "noticeably" faster in any meaningful way. but the out of the box config settings make the font rendering look much nicer than I had set up for alacritty.

I told myself "I'll use this for a while" as well but then realized... I don't actually have a reason to change to anything else. It gets the job done. So until some other new shiny thing comes along, this is probably where I stay for a while.

The same is true for modern ICE cars too. Most things people associate with EVs is actually just "modern car" and not EV specific

To be fair the meme format is supposed to be saying 1 word that applies to multiple things. The joke is much funnier if the answer to "name 5 starships" is "the enterprise" because absurdity. Naming 5 different ships isn't a joke, that's just answering the question with a list.

This suggests you can go to about:config and set devtools.toolbox.host to bottom for the toolbox.

However, it also suggests that the Parent process toolbox you are looking at can't be docked.

It's possible the one you saw before was the Web Console (Ctrl+Shift+k) which is docked by default. On that one, there are a couple of icons on the right side to re-dock either on the bottom or side of the tab content. I don't know whether it is possible to dock the Browser Console.

Try using Ctrl+Shift+K to open the console for a specific window/tab (this one should be dockable) instead of Ctrl+Shift+J, which opens a console for every window/tab combined (so can't be docked to a specific window/tab)

(Also who downvoted me for being the only one to even attempt to offer a solution, geez. Makes people not even want to try to help.)

The ... menu in the top right has an option to pick where the toolbox is docked.

 

Maybe this is just a me problem, and I can't find the settings. Or maybe these are things they changed in 115 and made it worse?

Collapsing threads. If I collapse everything thread, click to a different folder and then click back, every thread is expanded. I would vastly prefer "every thread is collapsed", or "we remember where things were". I never even noticed what it was on 102, but it wasn't "always expand everything"

Tab bar positioning. In 102 (and I could swear in some 115 screenshots Ive seen) the tab bar was at the very top. In 115, the tab bar is below the "Get Messages, Write, Address Book, etc" + search toolbar. The old way was so much better. It feels weird to have things ABOVE the tab bar change when i select a tab. thats the point of tabs, things are supposed to be contained "within" the tab.

Both of these are from their own documentation:

Old good:

New busted:

Are there settings for either of these changes, or is 115 just a downgrade for me and I should stick to 102?
