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.
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.
i’m often amazed at microsoft’s ability to take a useful product and make it agonizing to use
Dir?
what did you say? say that again to my face, I dare you.
I apologize. I didnt mean to offend anyone!
Too many letters
Mir?
Well that’s rude…
Why are DOS commands always so verbose?

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.
