It’s been a minute. Let me get this straight.

The American “President” (one day-forever US dictator) did his other job not golfing away a million tax dollars a round to honor his hero and commander of many American political leaders today, but made sure to play the media cycle by also releasing information about the “contested” most well investigated murder of a president to the joy of innumerable conspiracy theorists supporting all manner of anti-truth politicians flooding the zone endlessly with mass volumes of bullshit while my nation’s rapid unscheduled disassembly for oligarch profits continues unabated.

And I’m supposed to sit in this house on fire like a cartoon dog that says “this is fine.”?!?

@requiem Smartphones aren't really like that... and are not great for creating. Sure, they can capture what you create (audio/video/etc) but as an instrument of creativity they are... lacking.

As a tool of consuming, yeah, they are good at that.

I wrote about this in 2010.

@bagder Problem with that is (besides occasional bugfixes), most people including myself would see #curl to be functionally complete and anything "nice to have" would be considered not worth the balooning in #complexity and #size.

  • I mean, does curl need to be able to do #BitTorrent (magnet:), #IPFS (ipfs://) or god forbid #blockchain (i.e. #EVM) support?

  • Do you really want to integrate @torproject / #Tor support natively into curl when using #HTTP (localhost:8118) and #SOCKS5 (localhost:9050) #proxy allows for the same and doesn't necessitate having to handle and ingest Tor arguments as well??

In fact if #toybox didn't have a #wget implementation that I could use for OS/1337 I would've merely chosen tiny-curl -o as a global alias or if #tinycurl wasn't an option, curl -o instead.

  • Maybe someone who wants to have said functionality like tor support built-in will go and IDK make i.e. #neocurl or sth. along those lines or build something like #ethcurl or #torcurlor #ipfscurl or whatever...

That being said I am glad curl isn't solely maintained by you but has other contributors (give them a shoutout!) but I also am glad you maintain that vital software that most "#TechIlliterate #Normies" most likely never heard of but propably use on a daily basis as part of all the #tech they use to #consume media with...

  • I consider curl to be "the #vim of downloaders" (tho that's kinda insulting and limiting since curl is more than just a downloader and more intuitive than vim) with wget being "the #vi of downloaders" (tho wget is even simpler to use than vi)...

Either way, curl is awesome...

“This sudden about-face is hardly shocking considering Trump is a world historical liar. What’s damning, though, is that the mainstream press enabled Trump’s scam by helping him create an impression that he had an actual plan to lower prices instead of reporting the obvious truth — that he was offering nothing but bluster and empty talking points all along.”

@pk84

There are a lot of tech creators that are just terrible. I can't watch LTT anymore -- never was exactly a fan. MKBHD sold out HARD. MrMobile is a delightful nerd, but he'll never steer people away from the mindless #CONSUME mentality, which is tragic. Luke Smith was such a meme he seemed to just disappear. DistroTube seems to love saying ridiculous and incendiary stuff. Lunduke... oh mercy, Lunduke.

... 1/2

imagine theres a way of shrinking oneself and I wanted to shrink down and be swallowed to find out what it's like in your belly, and neither of us would be harmed, would you agree to it?
