Coming back to this, I have several CPU spins going on all the time:

* iTerm2 10–35%, disabling transparency doesn't help. There's just 3 tmux tabs doing nothing there.
* Spotlight 20–70%, the usual suspect.
* WindowServer 10–70%.
* Mail.app ~20%.

Once again HW engineers have provided great battery life that SW engineers try to destroy as much as they can.

Someone here posted about the #Starship prompt for the terminal once. I liked it a lot and decided to try. Then I found out #iTerm2 - a better terminal emulator. Then there were themes, color schemes, and finally, I discovered #Fish shell.

I now want to spend more time in my terminal than in UI.

Fish shell: https://fishshell.com

@bontchev seriously #iterm2 is notorious for this, every time someone pokes a stick at it, something like this falls out. same back a few years ago when the company i consult for occasionally, i was like, what attack surface can be there in a terminal, turns out with iterm2 it is huge! it downloads, it opens, it parses, it does all kind of things. it's horrible if you care for attack surface minimization.

At the same time, managing three Macs is becoming a bit burdensome.

After 15 years, I switched away from #iTerm2 and towards #WezTerm which allows hot-reloaded dotfiles-style configuration.

Together with #GnuStow, a simple `git pull` is enough, and the terminal is in sync!

Really love this, and feel like more apps should offer this kind of configuration (at least developer tools). Synchronizing plist preferences is a pain.

What are some good terminal apps for MacOS? I need to quit #iTerm2. Not only does it have AI slop features, but it's being built with AI slop too. #FuckAI

Had major issues with #ClaudeCode for weeks, with mouse positions not registering correctly, semi-auto scrolling, weird selecting etc.

Turns out it was #Ghostty. No issues in either Terminal or #iTerm2.

Back to iTerm2, then.

Why I finally traded iTerm2’s features for Ghostty’s GPU renderer

After years of loyalty to iTerm2, the AI revolution forced me to rethink my terminal. Here's how I migrated to Ghostty — and why I'm never going back.

I just discovered that you can drag n drop images rendered in #iTerm2 using #sixel. If you drag the image out of the terminal you get a file. If you then cat the file ... well, I was expecting an image, because sixel, but apparently not. How odd.
