But it’s got electrolytes ads!
I need a sticker of those!

I had some family members staying with us a few nights. I “warned” them, that my WiFi is using a PiHole and should block (some) ads. Just as a heads up if e.g. an app or a website would act up so that they could report that to me.
They asked me, why anyone would want to block useful ads…
Yes. Somewhat. In Powershell dir is an alias for Get-ChildItem.
While dir . or dir C:\test\ works as expected, you could also do this: dir HKLM:\HARDWARE -Recurse -Depth 5 which will list your registry from the local machine from the key HARDWARE recursively - but only to a depth of 5 levels.
Microsoft just set a system wide default alias in Powershell for Invoke-WebRequest called curl.
While I get their reasoning for that (I mean, they also aliased e.g. ls and dir to Get-ChildItem which 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. -Force may be abbreviated -f as long it’s the only argument starting with f. While dir or ls is somewhat likely to be called without arguments (or maybe -f) that’s definitely not the case for curl.

That’s ok. I judge ChatGPT because it’s code sucks, so that cancels out…

Since it was meant as satire, this might have been intentional

Konsole must be a KDE app, but since KDE is a German project…
No, obviously all the bad deals with his signature were made with an auto pen. Wait…
