so the strangest thing happened, ls suddenly started putting '' quotes around files with spaces in the name
quite useful, and unexpected.. but i wonder if that'd break any scripts.. :)
That's ls(1) and not your shell?
GNU ls (coreutils >= 8.25): "ls now quotes file names unambiguously and appropriate for use in a shell, when outputting to a terminal."
Oh that's fun.
coreutil 8.25 on ubuntu doesn't seem to be doing it
it took me by surprise
That's what she said!!
it was disabled in debian because of https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=813164
but now it's back again: https://packages.qa.debian.org/c/coreutils/news/20171002T184925Z.html
Aha, -N to get the correct behavior back. Updating my GNU dotfiles now in preparation ...

typical gnuism
They try really hard to put the NU in GNU.

i think there should a normal ls, and then there can be gls or such
what a disaster.
srsly
