Is referring to curses as for "Linux terminals" trolling, or am I just getting old?

It's referring to the ncurses library: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ncurses

Probably just ignorance. ncurses should work for all POSIXes I think.

As the other poster pointed out, it is probably using ncurses. Ncurses stands for new-curses, and it is from 1993, and it is the new-and-improved version of a library from the early 80's at least.

If this seems new to you, the good news is, you aren't getting old. Bad news is, you've been there for a while. Beats the alternative though, right?
