Show HN: A modified macOS ls that supports –group-directories-first
I finally got tired of not having directories first on macOS, and - for me - something like exa <https://the.exa.website/> was overkill. So I dug into the source code, hunted down the missing BSD-licensed headers, figured out how to work around the APSL headers, and smoothed out the rough edges.
Very much a personal itch-scratching exercise and only a couple hours worth of work, but maybe it'll be useful for someone else.

Rust Easy! Modern Cross-platform Command Line Tools to Supercharge Your Terminal
Both LSD and exa are replacements for the ls command. They both look gorgeous with nice colors and icons and have features like headers, sorting, tree views, and so on. Exa is a bit faster than LSD for tree views and can show the Git status of files and folders. I prefer exa due to the Git support and faster tree views. I have set up my ls alias to use exa by default. Both can be configured to show custom columns and sorting behaviors.

thought I'd try fish shell and I don't think I'm doing it right
In fact ls -A don't work because is a alias to 'exa'.

What's everyone working on this week (4/2023)?
An awesome reference that I could recommend is rust cli book it touches exactly on those topics. If you are willing to give some examples a read maybe some legendary examples like ripgrep or rust rewrite of gnu core utils might be useful to you. Anyhow, this is already great work, keep on coding!

What should I make with Rust? App ideas Please!💡
coreutils is an established project to rewrite core Unix utilities in Rust. They seem to have lots of projects of various sizes to do.
I think there is already a coreutils implementation in rust: https://github.com/uutils/coreutils.

Is the FSF Fighting the Previous War?
I have to agree. I saw FSF members argue with uutils coreutils [0] developers about having their project licensed under MIT. And for no good reason, they started attacking the project and the people behind it.
I was a big fan of FSF until that point.
