From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Of course the terminal emulators are ultimately to blame but when there are so many problems in so many of them, imo curl's default behavior should be to filter its output when writing to a tty.
is there a curl argument that can be used to block this behavior?
You can redirect curl's output to a file with the
-o filenameoption (or with> filenamefor shell redirection). But in the case of sites like this which output ansi-escape-formatted data that isn't very useful.Also, after saving unknown data to a file it's common to look at it with
lessor perhapsxxdorstringsorfile... all of which have had their own CVEs in recent years 🤦Computer security is a fractal of bad news.
