      I get that Sixel is old AF but is there a new standard or is it just an open sea of fragmentation where everybody picks some branched attempt at doing the same thing and rolls with it instead?

        I like Kitty Graphics. I like graphics in the terminal for two reasons:

        1. integration with MC (midnight commander) style directory browser to show previews of jpegs, pdfs, etc.
        2. w3m web browser. I like being able to use that super-light weight webrowser when working/coding to keep me focused.

        Reason (1.) works with Kitty. (2.) does not. (2.) is pretty esoteric so I think sixel will probably die out soon due to the user base?
