So diff -y no longer works. I've been using this since 1995
This was done on purpose:
20170420:
GNU diff has been replaced by a BSD licensed diff. Some features
of GNU diff has not been implemented, if those are needed a newer
version of GNU diff is available via the diffutils package under
the gdiff name.
I do wonder why. Who is going to go to the effort to build/install "base"
commands as various options are removed/changed? I can't wait to see what
happens to cp, grep, find, and awk.
