1. curl is not made by me alone. I lead the project, we are over a thousand authors in total
2. I work full-time on providing curl support to paying customers. Some would call it a business.
3. Not "a" billion people. More like 6 billion or so; every human on the globe that is Internet-connected uses things that use curl - daily.

@bagder My new stove has wifi. I bet there's curl inside.

@tseitr they explicitly said so in their reply which I show in the post, it's not a mystery (anymore)!

@bagder what a nice guy this frisian is.

Maybe he learns at some point to think a moment or twice before posting mental diarrhea online in the future.

@bagder It just so perfectly channels how Ayn Rand would have thought about FLOSS.

@bagder Out of context that sentence sounds more like an appeal to XKCD02347

@mid_kid the context is just some weirdo's comment on my blog: https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2024/03/08/the-apple-curl-security-incident-12604/#comment-26945

@bagder @AugierLe42e I had missed that one but it is... it is definitely worth the appelation of "art" at this point.
