PowerShell script signer is done!

Well, it's a 1.0.1, there’s a few things I want to add, but it's not bad at the moment. It's on the PowerShell Gallery at: www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Set... and the github link is at: github.com/johncwelch/p...

Everything @diane.dianeduane.com writes is amazing & her trek stuff is magical. The opening to “The Wounded Sky” is the best opening in any trek book I’ve seen:
Loved this book!
I finished reading SPOCK’S WORLD by @diane.dianeduane.com last night with my Star Trek book club and the line that knocked us all flat on our asses was when a smug Vulcan logic bro says “the data speaks for itself,” and Bones replies “NO data speaks for itself. data just lies there. PEOPLE speak.”

Cue the demands to ban floss in 3…2…
Y’all. They used dental floss on mice.... for vaccine delivery!!!
Not kidding. This is the type of research that keeps me so excited about science and innovation and why we should not be defunding science.

Engineers transform dental floss into needle-free vaccine
New method places inactivated viruses directly into mice’s gums

I feel a GenX trait is finding out your house had a weird triple murder happen and your reaction is THAT’S SO COOL!

It’s weird that the only time a Democratic consultant enters my feed, it’s because they’re mad that a Democrat got voters excited and won an election.

We wanted to know how independents feel about Mamdani's win, so asked three Trump voters hiding from ICE behind this Ohio diner.

Not a hot take: Neil Giraldo is the most underrated guitarist in rock, and the bass lines in a LOT of Benatar songs are crazy good.

Markdown is yet more proof there is nothing nerds hate more than tools that don’t have gatekeeping as a core functionality.

A thing I find funny: the same devs who complain about having to do anything but code are the same ones writing shit apps because they never interact with anyone trying to use those apps.

I'm not arguing with y'all about the dishonest point of "But Black people want more police! They want to increase funding!"🤡

No.

Black people want what you want for yourself:

You do want cops to solve and prevent murders.

You don't want cops to arrest you for no reason, or brutalize/kill you.

Apple: “picking the correct color contrast and font size is critical for accessibility!”

Also Apple: “Yes, we use dark grey text on dark grey metal in 4-point fonts for the serial number on your computer, we fail to see any problem!”

Anyone taking Gene Munster seriously deserves to lose all their money. The man is unable to back out of any corner. He can *not* admit error.
Sure, elite institutions are failing to meet the moment but another realization is that nobody in investing/finance seems to know fuck all.

Trump says for 40 years he wants tariffs. Finance bros: but he's not serious. Musk fails to deliver FDS/new models for years. Finance bros: but maybe he will.

each line of this is worse than the next, but, goddamn, "start cheating" is such an unbelievably fucking corrosive message, this attitude is just absolutely tearing through the hull of society

Every time I see people agog at “How did GenX turn so conservative”, i’m like “Do you not remember preppies? How many kids ran around dressing like 40-something businesspeople praising Reagan like he was Jesus? GenX has ALWAYS had a sizeable conservative streak”
