Mercator Misconceptions - Clever Map Shows the True Size of Countries [Especially In High Latitudes]

[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
torsupport built-in will go and IDK make i.e.#neocurlor sth. along those lines or build something like#ethcurlor#torcurlor#ipfscurlor 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
curlis more than just a downloader and more intuitive thanvim) with wget being "the #vi of downloaders" (thowgetis even simpler to use thanvi)...
Either way, curl is awesome...
