I can't stop running CPU-intensive stuff and watching bpytop.
It's beautiful.

I've gotten used to sending output to a file rather than to the terminal because even the more efficient ones add overhead if there's a lot of output. It's more efficient to watch it with `tail -f` or better yet not at all.
Modern text rendering is really demanding and slow...
The APIs are monstrous. Libcairo, libpango, zillions of dependencies.
It's fun to fire up MGR sometimes and be reminded of how cheap&fast it used to be.

github.com/thestinger/ter
I knew Alacritty had a keyboard-based text selection mode inspired by ours but I hadn't realized they'd added a comparable regex-based hints mode for quickly opening URLs, etc. too.
