"Of all the trends at the fall runway shows, including the uptick in fur (or fur-alike) clothing, the rise of clothing with built-in power curves and the preponderance of black leather, the single most ubiquitous one was the worst: the erosion of size inclusivity.

Ironically, as fashion embraces (and creates) faux womanly figures by design, the actual bodies inside the clothes are shrinking."

"In their zeal to curb #BigTech, #regulators are crafting legislative reforms that make distinctions between Internet services based on #size. A crucial Internet law, #Section230, is among the targets for such reforms. This essay discusses the nuanced considerations that regulators should address when drafting #sizebased distinctions for #InternetServices. It also raises concerns that such distinctions are not good policy in the context of Section 230."

[note the ‘true’ size of high latitude landmasses like Greenland and Canada (and Russia as well); note also that the Mercator Projection was not / is not a ‘tool of colonialism’, geopolitics or the like, it was/is ‘simply’ a very clever projection to aid in marine navigation]

@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...

News-Medical · Hormone therapy and puberty blockers alter skeletal size in transgender individualsSkeletal size may be altered by gender-affirming hormone therapy only if puberty has also been suppressed during adolescence, according to research presented at the 62nd Annual European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology Meeting in Liverpool.

"The greatest moment in [Barack Obama's] speech wasn’t a quotable line but rather an exquisite and petty dick joke he unsubtly made with his hands to mock Trump’s obsession with crowd 'sizes.' …

I'm glad the Obamas finally let loose. The first Black family that ascended to the White House had to bite their tongue for nearly 16 years as the GOP and Donald Trump unleashed racist and Islamophobic dog whistles against them."
