I finally found my favorite git client.
It’s fast. It let’s me do all the things I do frequently. It’s all keyboard driven. It’s a terminal app.

iPhone user. My default browser is Edge. A follower told me my blog blog.danskingdom.com has too many ads. I thought that was weird, since I never see ads. Turns out they were right! #Edge and #Brave block ads by default. #Chrome, #Google, #Safari, and #Firefox don't. What browser do you use?

That Invoke-WebRequest security update (#KB5074596) breaking your scripts? A basic search for -UseBasicParsing won't catch code that uses properties like Forms or AllElements - those don't exist anymore.
I wrote ScriptAnalyzer rules that find both issues. Try it out, let me know what I missed.

Just discovered a #Slack QoL feature. If you have a URL in your clipboard, you can select text in your message and paste to make it a hyperlink. No need to use Ctrl+Shift+U or click the Link button before pasting the URL anymore 😎

If you notice some of your automated scripts stop working correctly after installing Windows updates, this could be why.
🚨Action (Possibly) Required: KB5074204 Update for Windows PowerShell now adds a confirmation prompt when using Invoke-WebRequest.
For unattended scripts the recommendation is to add -UseBasicParsing to prevent the message and insecure code from running.

Not being able to paste into a password field is the worst. It makes the app LESS secure, as it encourages short, easy-to-remember (and type) passwords. Please ensure your apps allow pasting passwords.

I’m surprised since security is typically a top priority for MS. I wonder if #GitHub Actions were already in place before the acquisition and MS just never audited them. Hopefully they address this soon.

One of my favourite overlooked #VisualStudio features is using the editor status bar to change Spaces to Tabs. Can also change CRLF <-> LF, and file encoding too.
