@lkundrak otherwise autoconf was for nothing

lot to love about #netbsd and missing surprisingly little. real annoying things:
find requires a path. "find ." instead of "find", i'm getting it wrong every time.
no "sort -h". how do people sort "du -sh" output? are they content with seeing their file is 173666 blocks big?
anybody knows if patches for these would've been accepted or if they'd be shunned off as gnu-isms?
@lkundrak Haha I come from the BSD, and TIL that you can omit the path in gnu find xD.

@mathieu do you know research shows that if you learn to ride a reverse bike, your ability to steer a normal bike will get measurably slower
that is how using gnu impairs everybody's ability to use a normal computer

@lkundrak I didn’t know “sort -h” was a thing! I always use “du -sk”
