‘Why let mere mortals decide CPU priorities when the cosmos can guide us?’ asks the developer.
To be clear, the point of this is to demonstrate the power and flexibility of a new Linux feature in a “haha only serious” way.
Zampieri is clear that this GPL-2.0 licensed project is a “scientifically dubious, cosmically hilarious” work. It definitely isn’t recommended for use in production systems - not because of bugs, but because it works as intended… The dev is still looking to add “more cosmic chaos” to scx_horoscope, so contributors are welcome.




There may be terminals for which that is a limitation, but with neovim in konsole, I can (left) click to move the cursor or select text and right-click to get a contextual menu.
Separately, the TUI libary we use for RESTMan is Brick and does support mouse events. IIRC we only support mouse-wheel scrolling, but there’s a lot more that is possible.
So, I think it might worth your time to try some TUI alternatives to your GUI environment.
Your larger point that TUI can’t fully replace GUI stands, at least IMO. Even for plain text formats (e.g. dotty) that I want to edit with a fixed-width font, an image (pre)view can be essential to some tasks. I don’t usually find that’s true for coding tasks, but design docs often benefit from charts.
