Maybe an alternative way:

Pic A - Normal image

Pic B - Same place illuminated with ultraviolet light

yeah that would make more sense

-Ahl here! Human-readable sizes and get rid of . and ..!

edit: format code so ..! doesn't look funny :D

I like ls -Ap, the -p option is convenient, it puts a / at the end of names if they're directories. -A is like -a but doesn't show . and ..

-l is sometimes useful, but a bit cluttered and less readable (at least to me, maybe it wouldn't be if I were used to using it)

Do you mean putting the l before the a, or just the l and a flags in general?

That's what we call lla here at ~

Showing what's in the cupboards & drawers is more like

ls -R

I like the la alias.

ll so you don't even have to move your finger

SomethingBurger@jlai.lu · 6 pts · 342d

PS1=$(ls -a)

festnt@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 342d

but if your hand is already on the keyboard, it's faster to type la than ll since you can move two hands faster than one (if they're doing the same movement, since with one hand you'd need to do the movement, reset and do it again)

Doesn't show dotfiles.

Ephera@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 342d (2 replies)

Depends on the distro how that alias is defined (if it is defined)...

one_knight_scripting@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 342d (1 reply)

That is true, but I would define standard practice like this: ls -l = ll And ls -la = la

Ephera@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 342d

Yeah, fair enough.

SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org · 2 pts · 342d

Human-readable? What, are you some kind of human?

ls -latr

To see where's the most recent shit cause that's what I'm interested in.

burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de · 3 pts · 342d

Lulz, I tried that just to see the results. Either the terminal knows to not go crazy, or this fresh install is small enough to not take more than 5 seconds.
