To make my life easier, and perhaps some others, I've moved my TrueColor acceleration code, with some modifications, into a PowerShell Module called PSRainbow. It's available today in the Gallery for anyone to use. www.powershellgallery.com/packages/PSR... #powershell

powershellgallery.com

PSRainbow 1.1.0

Provides a library of 24-bit colors that can be used in PowerShell scripts.

Somehow missed that Canva acquired Serif. Tried to download my paid for Affinity software to find it's free now thanks to Canva. Like, all three suites. Not sure what I feel about this. Been an Affinity faithful for a long time. This seems... Not good. Prepping for enshitification... Maybe.

There was a massive amount of hype around what Persona 5 was going to be when it was announced. There was even this so-called Fan OST that went around on YouTube. Stumbled on this yesterday from that vault. It's snazzy! youtu.be/pPMoAO-h3gQ?...

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

For absolutely no reason at all, I wanted to try my hand at F# and did so by yanking some ANSI Escape Sequence code from my PowerShell game and translating it. A few hours later, I had a neat little program. Most likely not the BEST F#, but whatevs. github.com/gregoryfmart...

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

100%. Nothing cooler than getting to the register only to be told you can get X thing because SNAP won't cover it.

I was a food stamp kid, 100%. I'd wager some of these douches vying for its demise were also. Nothing quite like patting yourself on the back for depriving people, especially children, access to food.

@dotdot.horse challenged me to a contest of skill. I accepted. Eldoria. She is now... TOASTED! Thanks to @toastit.dev for the awesome BurntToast library! For giggles, Eldoria will use BurntToast to create and update a toast during battles. :) youtu.be/ImB9gd61rlo #gamedev #powershell

@allwayshype.com Just listened to the recent PowerShell Podcast episode and it was awesome! BTW - shoutouts to MySpace code editing (I did the same thing back in the day). Gradient background CSS FTW.

Cell-site simulators (CSS, also known as Stingrays or IMSI catchers) are devices that masquerade as legitimate cell-phone towers, tricking phones within a certain radius into connecting to the device rather than a tower. Our tool, Rayhunter, can help you find them. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Rayhunter is a new open source tool we’ve created that runs off an affordable mobile hotspot that we hope empowers everyone, regardless of technical skill, to help search out cell-site simulators
