The thing is. Have you tried closing and reconnecting to sessions on wezterm/tmux? Infinitely harder.

Also tmux can be everywhere, including servers. I have it on all my beefy servers. And the sessions keep open. You basically can't do this with wezterm/kitty. Simply at least.

Latency is basically a non-issue for me. It's nothing noticable for me.

    I use i3 and still use Tmux and wezterm.

    The benefits are:

    1. Universal (especially Tmux). It doesnt. Matter where you're doing it. If it has Tmux, you're in a familiar environment. Different wm/DE/emulator? No problem
    2. multiplexers have additional capabilities. For example when you create a split or new tab, it's in the same directory that you were already working in. This is super important. You can also have different sessions for different projects/tasks and switch between them. This is also super important (Wezterm has "workspaces").
    3. you can close the terminal emulator and your sessions will still be there.

    so overall, a tiling wm isn't really a replacement for multiplexers if you're doing heavy tasks like programming

    And the only reason I use wezterm is because it's the only terminal that supports BiDi/RTL text somewhat. Otherwise, Tmux is the best

    Aww sweet!

    I love it when a site has a loading screen and takes 20s (I counted) to load, and 3-5 second for every interaction you make.

    You scroll and you are in the warm embrace of laggy scroll animations. Animations that make no sense, serve no purpose. You just let it flow through you and your device resources.

    I even has music! I just open this website on my way to work. Bye bye to the 80GB of music I have on my phone.

    Peak web design. Peak innovation. Such web. Wow.

    I haven't used Guix system (as OS) but using it on top of Arch has been... Cool at least?

    I can't speak for it's reliability or reproducibility that much since I haven't encountered issues yet. It's hard to grasp, and hard to setup, and needs a lot of time and network bandwidth but it's cool. I like adding my packages to a manifest so I know what is installed and when.
