Yeah, my reaction was less about economics and more wondering why this wouldn’t be celebrated.

If you’re primary interface to your computer is a shell, then why not do this in a shell too? You likely already have your DE setup to handle shells. It fits within all your styling (no weridness between qt, gtk, etc).

A better question might be, why run it in a GUI? What are you actually gaining from doing that?

Lots of neat uncomfortable questions arise though. At what point is it conscious? If it never experienced autonomy, life, locomotion, or social human interaction, is it torture or just its natural state of being?

It’s my Super key. It’s used for like everything in my DE (Hyprland).
