I’m envy? I’m hoping for a native GUI application for Linux. Electron looks ugly, it doesn’t integrate, fails to handle HiDPI usually, in best case it eats a ridiculous amount of memory (factor 5x compared to native) and in worst case it has security issues due to Blink and lot of JS. Electron is Flash for the Desktop.

Electron is the only cross platform UI that is open and using web standards that are not tied to a single company. It is exactly the opposite of flash.

The person being replied to was talking about technical aspects similar between the two (functionality like HiDPI and performance) while you're mentioning socially-oriented differences. I would say both statements are true but that what the authors of each statement value is different.

Imagine this cloud enshitification reaches everything else. You need a cloud account to curl or wget, use ffmpeg or simply sed lol

Emacs, org-mode, and restclient-mode will be there :)

restclient-mode?? another awesome mode I have to check out, I swear there's a mode for everything!

What I want, is an API explorer for CLI. A tool that takes an OpenAPI Spec and then converts it into a set of examples and REST endpoint calls I can just fire off or mess with. Kinda like how Swagger does for their web-based docs, but for CLI, and bonus points if you can generate some examples.

I feel like this should be possible with today's tech, but am coming up dry finding anything while searching.

Why don't you just rtfm? I'm not interested in "convincing" you, you're free to proudly declare that you refuse to read the docs, and you have an odd definition of "rant".

[flagged]

So, what exactly was the point of your rant?

You don’t care enough to read the manual, but clearly care enough to ask a bunch of questions that could have easily been answered by yourself with a modicum of effort. The home page even has an example of the file format, is even opening the page too hard of an ask?

Did you just want people to do all the work for you to “convince” a random stranger? In what world is that reasonable?
