"New Blazing Fast WebGL Engine". Wow really?
Major changes - "Emoji support". For fucks sake, seriously?
Am I the only one that doesn't want anything of the following _bull shit_?
* A terminal emulator that is dependent on an entire web browser (not to mention the layers upon layers of bullshit abstractions all to run something from the 70s).
* Support for "emojis" (I mean, come on. It's a _damn terminal_).
* To execute code that can hijack control of my shell from any of the 956 dependencies[1] this _heap of shit_ relies on.

- carmate383 7y agoI can live with that. But I can't live with a web browser terminal emulator that markets this as a spectacular feature. I mean, c'mon really? Where is the level where JavaScript masturbation needs to stop?
