  • But aren’t room contents indexed and accessible from any client ?

    With a Discord account, you can search in a Discord channel for any servers you have access to, as well as any of your private chats. This means you need to sign up with a commercial account and agree to lots of tracking and data selling, it means that information can be withheld by banning someone from a server, and that information could become very inaccessible relying on people screenshotting it and posting it on other places as has happened with information from Discord servers several times.



  • From the website linked in the post:

    • Windows, Tabs, and Splits: Manage multiple terminal windows, each with several tabs and splits. Better yet, it is all rendered via native UI elements.
    • GPU-Accelerated Rendering: Employs Metal on macOS and OpenGL on Linux for efficient, high-speed rendering.
    • Hundreds of Themes: Swap between light and dark modes automatically, or choose from a vast library of visually appealing themes.
    • Ligatures and Grapheme Clustering: Shows ligatures flawlessly, handles multi-codepoint emoji properly, and accurately renders Arabic and Hebrew (in left-to-right mode).
    • Kitty Graphics Protocol Support: Let terminal applications display inline images for a richer visual experience.

    It also says it’s cross platform (macOS and Linux) and has configurable shortcuts with what they believe are sensible defaults.

    Although at least Alacritty already has all of these features (very different “sensible” defaults, though) and is also available on Windows so I’m not sold.
