I like that you actually can ls in power shell now
Yes, yes you can.
Also, WSL and windows terminal go a very long way in making windows actually usable…
Yeah but tbh i really despise powershells syntax. But i’m happy it is pretty powerful.
i’m often amazed at microsoft’s ability to take a useful product and make it agonizing to use
Unfortunately, bash syntax isnt amazing either
But Powershell is worse
Yeah. I’ve said this before and got grilled for it but I wish there was a shell scripting language that doesn’t have arcane syntax.
Fish? I like fish.
Dir?
what did you say? say that again to my face, I dare you.
I apologize. I didnt mean to offend anyone!
Why are DOS commands always so verbose?
Mir?
Well that’s rude…

That’s what I used, back when I still had MS-Windows installed…
feels good to say “it’s been years”, tho…

Add ls.bat in your windows directory with dir as the source. It basically acts as an alias.
echo @dir %1 %2 %3>%windir%\system32\ls.batSomething like that should fix the problem, I think…
:puke:
You’re no fun…

use powershell (specifically the core version!!!), or even better something like Nu shell
In Linux?
Why use cmd in Linux?
Because Wine makes it possible ;)
Nah, mine was a joke on how Microsoft published Powershell on Linux and somehow thought that anyone was gonna use it.
What year is this from? You absolutely can use ls in a windows command prompt now.
As of Aug 26, 2023, Windows command prompt absolutely does not recognize “ls” as a command.
Powershell is a different story.
Source: I type “ls” 40 times a day into a command prompt on my up-to-date win10 PC at work.
I literally just typed it into cmd.exe on Windows 10, fully updated, and it absolutely did work. No idea why it doesn’t work for you.
edit: ???
edit: it’s been traced back to this:
https://github.com/devkitPro/installer/releases
which is an emulator toolset that I didn’t know existed on my system until today.
Lmao
That is interesting. I just remoted into 5 different machines at the office and none of them worked with ‘ls’. If you enter ‘ls /?’, does it give you a synopsis and argument list?
Mystery solved, ls works for me due to this:
https://github.com/devkitPro/installer/releases
which is a toolset that was installed by an emulator package somewhere along the line, I just didn’t know it was there.
