Ghostty Terminal Emulator Transitions to Non-Profit Status (linuxiac.com)

Mitchell Hashimoto, one of the founders of HashiCorp and lead developer behind Ghostty, a GPU-accelerated open-source terminal emulator launched in 2023, announced that the app has formally become a non-profit project through fiscal sponsorship by Hack Club, a registered 501(c)(3) organization.

In Ghostty’s case, Hack Club now manages compliance, donations, accounting, and public financial transparency. Hashimoto says this structure reinforces Ghostty’s commitment to remaining free and open source, provides legal assurances to users and contributors, and establishes a sustainable foundation beyond any single individual’s involvement.

Ok? So is mine. You maybe missed my comment about redirects? Why are people pushing so much to stdout that it is causing a slowdown?

Most apps print stuff in the same loop as everything else, so stuff like alacritty might help it a little bit. It's not really that significant most of the time, however.
