How does the tech work? You have something like a 80x50 display and he's emitting 128x128px on that?

- cyphar 8y agoIt's a VT extension called sixels[1], and requires terminal emulator support. [1]: https://github.com/saitoha/libsixel https://github.com/saitoha/libsixel
- emmanueloga_ 8y agoBy now a lot of ppl have commented on the tech (sixel) but it really annoys me when projects don't explain in simple terms the overall workings in the readme: "lsix is a shell script that uses ImageMagick convert tool to list images on a shell screen on terminals that support the Sixel format" There, was that so hard?!? :-( EDIT: oops, it does mention it, everywhere actually. 1) need to pay more attention but 2) I was just venting because of so many other repos I have to spelunk to have answers for when a few words in the readme would do :-)
