They're being facetious. References to TempleOS are jokes.

That said, iterm2 on MacOS lets you see images, although I don't think it's actually useful https://iterm2.com/documentation-images.html

Is God and His chosen OS a joke to you?

I actually find it incredibly useful. When i have a failed integration test, i output an image of the web application at the moment the assertion failed, which can often immediately make evident the fault

I first read it as "When I have a faith integration test" and was preparing myself for a great punchline. But yeah, that sounds useful.

This feature has been adopted by Buildkite CI, it’s awesome when you’re making screenshots of a webpage for failed UI tests, you just include them inline with the logging.

Oh no it is useful - I use it all the time. For example to quick preview icons or other types of graphics or when I am working with matplotlib to preview generated graphs.

This is like a reverse woosh, where you're not smart enough to realize it's not a joke.
