It's probably there just because it was one of the many files preinstalled on one of Epstein's computers that the FBI nabbed. Still funny.

you didn't have to put urls in quotes on bash? strange, for me not doing that always led to strange behavior.

I wouldn’t be surprised that it was just the few things I use that didn’t care. YouTube-dl was one of them. I wouldn’t be surprised if I was living a lie, and zsh enforced what should have been normal across the board.

I’m not that aware or savvy about the structure of the terminal and what a shell even is. 😅

Maybe it depends on the URL having spaces, slashes, ...

If it's only www.somepage.tld maybe it doesn't need the quotes.
