by that fucked logic you can say that facebook is irc
@roboneko @theorytoe @dcc You don't need special software to access a text board, HTTP is very straightforward — everyone has curl, damn, in worst case you can even do shit with telnet.
To access IRC you have to use what, your grandma's computer that still has Xchat installed? 🤪
@dcc
I think it does now, OpenSSH too, it just doesn't get installed by default.
Even if you don't have curl, PowerShell is installed by default now and this one's a built-in I think: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/invoke-webrequest?view=powershell-7.3

My installation definitely does, I just could not remember whether I had to do something to get it installed or it was just installed with some update, looks like it's the latter: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/built-in-tar-and-curl-utilities-to-be-included-in-windows/
Before that curl was an alias to Invoke-WebRequest that I have mentioned above, but it was confusing as syntax was completely different — I think that is why they have decided to finally include their own build of the original utility.
Wjndoze does not...
