@bagder Well deserved, curl is one of the most important and influential software tools ever created.
TIL Sweden has a king π€
@bagder Besides the obligatory congratulations on this very special honour, I also want to congratulate you on the wonderful choice of shirt colour!
Looks good!
@bagder as many of your followers I didn't know about that deserved recognition.
But I also came noting something:
> My eleven year old son truly appreciates this museum so we ...
So that kid is not longer a kid, but a grown person!
I'm pretty sure they is proud of their dad!
@bagder Public appreciation for Free Software is such a rare thing. I am glad you received it at least once. Too few people realize that #curl practically runs the Internet β much like Apache & nginx, but on the client side.
There should be more #ILoveFreeSoftware days, medals, and other forms of appreciation.
