   A year ago we found #curl use in this Swiss TV-series Tschugger: https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2022/12/19/curl-sighting-tschugger/

   Any more recent sightings?

     @kaia its appearances in TV shows and movies certainly only emphasize that notion: Mr Robot, Silk Road, Tschugger. #curl is used for various kinds of shady purposes in all of them...

     @kaia although of course, few mortals will ever know, see or understand that curl is involved in those few fractions of a second where curl is visible

     @Nicro @kaia in two of the three examples I mentioned above, curl is not used in a terminal though: once in a python program and another in a PHP program...

     @bagder @kaia The promt-line saying Terminal has the same energy as “road work ahead”, maybe people should modernize and show the browser-webdev-tools instead. Terminal emulators are kinda phasing out of the collective consciousness, with DOS becoming historical.
