The cherry on top is the warning about the PowerShell team cooking up their own version of a download command with an incompatible syntax, but still calling it
curl.Microsoft just set a system wide default alias in Powershell for
Invoke-WebRequestcalledcurl.While I get their reasoning for that (I mean, they also aliased e.g.
lsanddirtoGet-ChildItemwhich is the same, but way more powerful than the OG commands the aliases hint at), the problem is, that in all those cases the arguments don't match. Something that plays in the favor of Powershell is that arguments are not case sensitive and do not need to be written in full, as long as they're distinct - e.g.-Forcemay be abbreviated-fas long it's the only argument starting with f. Whiledirorlsis somewhat likely to be called without arguments (or maybe -f) that's definitely not the case forcurl.wait they're fucking with the dir command? wheres my torch
Yes. Somewhat. In Powershell
diris an alias forGet-ChildItem.While
dir .ordir C:\test\works as expected, you could also do this:dir HKLM:\HARDWARE -Recurse -Depth 5which will list your registry from the local machine from the keyHARDWARErecursively - but only to a depth of 5 levels.They don't do that anymore in new versions, but you still need to actually use the new version to get that behaviour. It's a bit of a pain since the "fixed" version is in the MS store, the broken one is a base system component.
It also hits the people who use the terminal the least, anybody who uses it regularly will just install the new shell at the same time they install the new terminal and always get the new clean behaviour.
