minus-squareSleepyBearlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoI agree, that would be more authentic. Or rig up an actual line printer. But I think the fuzzy old terminal emulator at full screen gives you a more accurate view of an old curved, flickery, low-res screen. Event a TTY on a modern screen is going to be higher res (far more than 80x24), nice crisp fonts, colors, etc.
