How are those images rendered in text UI?

  Inline using sixel. Go look at the screenshots, it's not bad.

    Yes, screenshots are nice. That's why I asked.

  OK. Found it: Displayed using Sixels or the Kitty protocol. Supported input formats are PNG, JPEG, BMP, GIF (stb_image), WebP (jebp) and SVG (nanosvg). Opt-in; edit the config to enable it.

  btw. Rendering images or movies on the TTY is common. fbida: https://www.kraxel.org/blog/linux/fbida/ https://www.kraxel.org/blog/linux/fbida/ mpv: https://mpv.io/ https://mpv.io/ Fbida sometimes need the -d option pointing to /dev/drm/something, when using screen or tmux. MPV required for years -vo=drm on the TTY but since some months it always works. Nice improvement :) A display server is not needed.
