Funny how the DOS equivalent of ls is dir, so before the GUI folder metaphor.

Don't forget cd.
I switched to Linux only about a year ago. I frequently called them directories even in Windows. I sometimes use folder too, but usually directory I think.
Oddly enough this made me realise I solely use directory for windows, I think cause windows uses dir instead of ls and cd is used in both lmao
Funny!!! I love Harry potter and Hagrid is so sweet!
it's directory, if you refer to it in a cli context and folder if you refer to it in a gui context
I have been switching a number of computers over to Linux over the last few months in preparation for the end of Windows 10. But honestly shit like this that makes me think, maybe Windows 11 isn't so bad?
Tired of users' elitism? Get some corporate elitism instead!
What's wrong babe? We've just moved your taskbar, created one another directories for program files and documents, and renamed This Computer to Our Computer. It's not a big deal!
