[β] pivot_root@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (2 children) Powershell does the opposite, having an alias from ls to whatever the powershell equivalent of dir is. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] rtxn@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] pivot_root@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago 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.
