Teserract may be opensource, but adding myself would feel disingenuous

[Tesseract is a] Lemmy Frontend / UI that instances can use instead of the default. They had a secret shadow ban / block list for keyword, users, communities, instances that were not accessible via the admin UI and only pulled down at runtime so you could not see them in the source code before using it and could not modify it because no one knew about it.

A terminal emulator (such as xterm, tmux, or emacs) is responsible for displaying a pseudoterminal in a different context (such as an x server, another terminal, or an emacs buffer respectively). Terminals are divided into three types: virtual terminals (on boot or as presented by [C-]A-F<N>), ‘true’ terminals (exposed on serial ports), and pseudoterminals (controlled by other programs). Essentially, you have a virtual terminal running X running Xterm which controls a pseudoterminal with tmux attached controlling another pseudoterminal.

Login shells are a special flag set when launching shells, sometimes. They typically read different settings (e.g. Bash reads ~/.bash_profile instead of ~/.bashrc). Most shells will launch as a login shell if their command name (argv[0]) begins with a hyphen; Bash also allows explicit bash -l to run a login shell.
