Show HN: Windowfied

My friend was saying to me today that dir in windows is superior to ls in every way. So I created windowfied for macOS on homebrew. This is dumb. I hope you love it.

brew install mnky9800n/tools/windowfied

I know this is a joke, but as soon as I saw:

    06/22/2025

I backed away very quickly. I assume actual Windows uses the locale, so my eyeballs wouldn't be assaulted with this abomination.

For Linux/Mac users who are happy to stick with ls, but want a slash-formatted date, you can get something that is sane for you (whether or not it is sane for the rest of us) by running:

    ls -l -D '%x'

Where -D specifies a custom date format and %x means 'the date in your locale'.

  * Requires Homebrew. If you don't have it, what are you even doing with your life?

Nix, spending quality time with the family as opposed to debugging architecture-specific formulæ errors.

Homebrew: your barrel hasn't fermented your cork, so your hops won't barley your lager. Firkin try again.
