here’s how to win the war for the soul of the internet, and build the Web We Want.

unicode braille characters are 2x4 rectangles of dots where you can arbitrarily set any of the dots. That's 8x the pixels you normally get in the terminal!
anyway here's a proof of concept terminal SVG renderer using unicode braille:

Made a lil' library:
codepen.github.io/slideVars/
Automatically detects CSS custom properties on the :root/html and gives you controls for adjusting them. (But it's also as configurable as you want it to be.)

When you hear "better than nothing," ask whose responsibility the "nothing" is, and whether the "better than nothing" solution simply lets them abdicate that responsibility & check the box.
AI is the ultimate "better than nothing" technology. Don't negate this argument — reject the whole framing.
