A memorial plaque for Internet Explorer, styled like a gravestone. It features the browser’s logo at the top, followed by the inscription: “故 Internet Explorer 1995. 8. 17 ~ 2022. 6. 15. He was a good tool to download other browsers.” The plaque rests on a stone surface surrounded by small tribute notes, including references to other browsers like Firefox.

    According to @rtxn@lemmy.world:

    It gets better. PowerShell 5, which is still the default installation on Windows 11, aliases `curl` and `wget` to `Invoke-WebRequest`. The fucked-up part is that Win11 includes the real `curl` too, but the alias shadows it, and you have to use `curl.exe`. The even more fucked-up part is that `Invoke-WebRequest` **still uses Internet Explorer** to parse the result, and will panic if `-UseBasicParsing` is not passed every time, or IE isn’t installed and initialized. I used to develop applications in PowerShell. I still wear the mental scars.
