_thebrain_Alias's rule
Endymion_MallornMint comes with dir aliased for ls, and the only other one I regularly use is cls for clear.
Yes I grew up on DOS, how can you tell?
Powershell does the opposite, having an alias from
ls to whatever the powershell equivalent of dir is.
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.

That is absolutely horrifying.
