@JennyFluff@chitter.xyz @aks@scalie.zone TIL the ANSI escape sequences (used to hide the printed code in the terminal: ESC[2K, just with unicode for the escape).

Fun stuff (and not something I've used myself in 30 years of terminal life, but I feel I should have before!) 💡

@imrehg@fosstodon.org @aks@scalie.zone I was wondering about the purpose; I guess this signals something to the genai agent to stop?

@imrehg@fosstodon.org @JennyFluff@chitter.xyz @aks@scalie.zone this time gap illustrates the gap between adversarial use cases and delight the user use cases, which use case was the norm back before September.
