I like that you actually can ls in power shell now

[-] TheChefSLC@lemmy.sdf.org 66 points 2 years ago

Yes, yes you can.

Also, WSL and windows terminal go a very long way in making windows actually usable...

[-] Zeth0s@lemmy.world 60 points 2 years ago

"Usable" is a strong statement... It went from a "misery inducing insufferable machine" to a "extremely big annoyance". I do concede it is anyway a progress

Just add Winget with an UI to have a proper package manager and we're in

[-] DJArbz@lemmy.notmy.cloud 16 points 2 years ago

Package manager with a UI? I like my apt and dnf thank you very much.

[-] csolisr@communities.azkware.net 9 points 2 years ago

You can still use winget by itself from the command line! The UI is just there for convenience and automation

[-] Kangie@lemmy.srcfiles.zip 12 points 2 years ago

The UI is just there for ... automation

Wut?

I've never gone to a UI when I want to automate something, a sane CLI is much more predictable and consistent.

Yeah but tbh i really despise powershells syntax. But i'm happy it is pretty powerful.

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 36 points 2 years ago

i’m often amazed at microsoft’s ability to take a useful product and make it agonizing to use

[-] ______@lemm.ee 23 points 2 years ago

Unfortunately, bash syntax isnt amazing either

[-] newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 years ago

But Powershell is worse

As long as you don't have ls aliased to ls -la in your brain...

[-] Halafax@kbin.social 13 points 2 years ago

If you can suppress 30 years of " -al" from following his buddy.

[-] Ew0@lemmy.sdf.org 18 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

That's actually "-la", pal.

[-] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 34 points 2 years ago

Add ls.bat in your windows directory with dir as the source. It basically acts as an alias.

[-] jasondj@ttrpg.network 23 points 2 years ago

Still won’t help me when I type ifconfig or dig, though.

Also I’ve noticed there is also a curl in Windows CLI that I believe is based on libcurl, but when called from powershell is an alias for (iirc) Invoke-WebRequest.

Thank Microsoft for PowerShell

[-] shasta@lemm.ee 18 points 2 years ago

Cmd? What century is this? Use powershell

[-] stevedidWHAT@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

I’m gonna take it a step further and say to use the new Terminal app from the winapp store which lets you integrate ALL command lines into one app and it looks snazzy to boot!

Check it out mother fuckers!

What year is this from? You absolutely can use ls in a windows command prompt now.

[-] captsneeze@lemmy.one 68 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

The year is 2023, if you're still using CMD or batch files still that's on you. It's like riding a horse down a freeway and yelling at cars.

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.

God everytime!

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

It'll always be "Bad command or file name" to me.

[-] NotYourSocialWorker@feddit.nu 7 points 2 years ago

Yes but it can do "cd.."
