Not a programmer, so can't comment on API tools, but I have to be annoying and urge you to use alternative 'change my mind' templates, as the original creates exposure for a ghoulish bigot. Here are some alternatives: https://rimgo.vern.cc/gallery/sko7Q9W

Thanks for this.

I don't know who this man is, I used to know, but I don't care anyway. If he's such a bigot, it seems fine that his legacy is reduced to a meme, doesn't it?

[–] Susaga@sh.itjust.works 25 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Why grant him a legacy at all? Especially since the original of that meme is a tool of his bigotry.

The only people keeping his legacy alive are those who incessantly bitch about the meme template. Without you, he would just be the “‘change my mind’ meme guy.”

I don't understand your logic there. Being the "'change my mind' meme guy" is a legacy. Using the meme template is keeping the legacy alive. Even if it was just the response to the meme keeping his legacy alive, then surely you wouldn't use the meme template anyway, so they have nothing to respond to?

This is assuming you DON'T want him to be easily searched by people wanting to know more about the meme, thus exposing them to his hateful rhetoric, of which the original meme is a blatant example.

His legacy should be reduced to dust.

I find quite funny that even with their anti ai shield their website is still dying

But anyway, alternatively, just make your own template with other media. Be creative

What makes you say it's dying?

[–] RustyNova@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh. It was really slow earlier

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Oh I see

If you have decent documentation you shouldn't need an api client. https://justuse.org/curl/

Well having decent documentation is kind of rare.

[–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

But is providing a special client for your api really less work than fixing your documentation?

[–] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I occasionally use curl, and it’s annoying when you have secrets that need to rotate regularly or you need to change the middle of a URL. Also: Fuck quoting in the shell.

[–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I put the secrets in environment variables, I don't what them to show up in the shell history anyway. Quoting can be a bit anything if you need nested quotes, but I hardly ever need that with curl.

"API client"

Imagine needing a GUI for curl.

[–] BigDiction@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I’m not a dev and use HTTPie for calls I need adjust or run frequently. How the heck do you do that efficiently in a CLI?

[–] Illecors@lemmy.cafe 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Save it in a file. It's just text. You can even use a GUI text editor!

No, I will not try to change your mind
