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
