@tn5421 no. It's a feature that my IRC client runs in my terminal emulator and can't display images accordingly
@sir @tn5421@niu.moe I don't think that we should reject advanced features only because they don't benefit all users equally. The TUI fallback example you showed seemed quite reasonable.
In fact with the right shell images and other rich media can be displayed in a terminal window.
@sir @tn5421@niu.moe Which statement is untrue?
If your main point is that IRC should not attempt to emulate other chat protocols I agree with that. IRC has a useful place and it's own advantages, and those shouldn't be ignored.
