`ls` alternative

[abitrolly]

Some ls alternative for humans.

Defaults checklist.

• [x] long output
• [x] dirs are first
• single column or other view that is easy to scan for names anomalies such as root:root and strange permissions
• strange permissions are world writable (bad) or protected from others (good)
• view should give file sizes for humans

Why not exa

• short output by default is not informative, need a column with sizes
• -h is not help
• dirs are not first

Why not lsd

• exa problems
