Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Forking Chrome to Render in a Terminal
Sixels are pixels and enjoy a wide support due to how old it is.
Kitty protocol is PNG or primitives - which BTW would make it great for a GUI library.
Different tools for different needs, but if you are going for a wide support you want something simple that doesn't have 5 different types you have to separately implement and test:
> d: Direct (the data is transmitted within the escape code itself)
> f: A simple file (regular files only, not named pipes or similar)
> t: A temporary file, the terminal emulator will delete the file after reading the pixel data. For security reasons the terminal emulator should only delete the file if it is in a known temporary directory, such as /tmp, /dev/shm, TMPDIR env var if present and any platform specific temporary directories and the file has the string tty-graphics-protocol in its full file path.
> s: A shared memory object, which on POSIX systems is a POSIX shared memory object and on Windows is a Named shared memory object. The terminal emulator must read the data from the memory object and then unlink and close it on POSIX and just close it on Windows.
> What nonsense, it takes literally 15 lines of code without using anything beyond the standard library to write a client
Conveniently taking a preencoded PNG and assuming away the necessary queries of supported protocol:
> Since a client has no a-priori knowledge of whether it shares a filesystem/shared memory with the terminal emulator, it can send an id with the control data, using the i key (which can be an arbitrary positive integer up to 4294967295, it must not be zero).
> for the kitty graphics protocol. I challenge you to match that for sixel

A command line tool that draw plots on the terminal
Also:
https://github.com/saitoha/libsixel
contains img2sixel, which lets you dump images to the terminal. It can also do animated GIFs.

Emacs on an iPad
Not sure of Terminal emulator capabilities on Apple devices, but thanks to https://github.com/saitoha/libsixel , several applications, including emacs very much support image output in terminals.

What color do you use for your terminal?
You don't have multi-colored terminal output? Even legacy systems have long had Sixel support.

Are We Sixel Yet?
> SIXEL is one of image formats for printer and terminal imaging introduced by Digital Equipment Corp. (DEC). Its data scheme is represented as a terminal-friendly escape sequence. So if you want to view a SIXEL image file, all you have to do is "cat" it to your terminal

GNU/Hurd strikes back: How to use the legendary OS in a (somewhat) practical way
Even in the noncommercial world, Hurd's gone precisely nowhere. RedoxOS is a toy and had a GUI within a year or so. Brutal got in within two. SerenityOS not only built a GUI but the beginnings of the first greenfield web browser to gain any semblance of modern standards support in the past several decades. Honestly, what's Hurd doing wrong to flounder so hard?

Rust is ugly, doesn’t even let you write simple data structures, unsafe rust is not even defined, makes the simplest things so hard to write and did I mention it’s ugly?
Ah yes, std, that famous crate that is unusable for systems programming. God forbid anyone do any "systems" programming that uses std.

Planning to make a video on cool Rust apps focused on the end user. Make recommendations!

The wild world of non-C operating systems
Looks like C++ to me!
And my point is that when you mention OS-es like Mezzano (3k stars on Github, a dozen contributors [1]) and Redox (13k stars, 80 contributors [2]), but don't mention Serenity (18k stars, over 100 contributors [3] (Github limits this view to the top 100)) it seems funny.

How far are we from writing Redox on Redox?
Side note, blog posts may have been quiet but there's still been some commit activity here and there.

Porting QEMU to RedoxOS
>I wish opportunities had been around when I was learning to program.
And yet now, we have plenty of projects and nobody contributing.
https://github.com/redox-os/redox/graphs/contributors
This graph doesn't look so healthy. Projects with one major contributor tend to die the moment that contributor loses interest.
Which leads me to wonder, if rust is so popular, and this is one of the most relevant rust projects in the wild, why is this essentially a single contributor repo? Linus didn't write Linux by himself. Redox is never going to happen with a single developer.
Doesn't anyone want a memory safe OS and micro kernel? What does this say about the demand for memory safe systems languages?

Pop!_OS uses a lot of Rust
I think the guy behind RedoxOS works for them.
