This should probably point to the GitHub repository itself: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;GitSquared&#x2F;edex-ui" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;GitSquared&#x2F;edex-ui</a><p>Unlike the article, the GitHub repository mentions the Windows and macOS releases.

So... it&#x27;s Emacs?<p>(but really, what&#x27;s the best way to emulate this in Emacs? I tried M-x movie-sci-fi, but surprisingly it was a no go)

HA! What a cool little toy. Now this brings back some fun memories: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.blhack.me&#x2F;static&#x2F;bb.png" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.blhack.me&#x2F;static&#x2F;bb.png</a><p>Does anybody else remember running the &quot;bb&quot; demo on knoppix back in the day? Was so cool that they included that with the distro. Blew my mind as a teenager!<p>I know some people are saying how this isn&#x27;t super useful and all sorts of stuff. Nonsense! It&#x27;s fun, and fun is almost always useful. Can&#x27;t wait to install this on some machines at the hackerspace.

Haha! This really works. I downloaded the MacOS release and tried it out. As they said, it used a lot of CPU (25%), but it looks great. I&#x27;m going to pull this out the next time I need to impress some kids with my job.<p>I occasionally like using a very different terminal just to break out of mental ruts. In the past I’ve used Cool Retro Term for its funky looks.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Swordfish90&#x2F;cool-retro-term" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Swordfish90&#x2F;cool-retro-term</a>

<i>&gt; any Linux distro that can run Chromium</i><p>Why does it need Chromium?

this could be used to convince some poorly impoverished mind that you are uber ultra elite, or that the $89.95 they paid for the &quot;l337hax0r&quot; software was worth it. for a short time at least. This is similar to a lot of movie&#x2F;tv depicted GUIs being surfed by the infamous likes of penelope garcia!

This must be for a technically illiterate person who wishes to pretend to have a clue....
