I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

Pester 6: assert on speed. { Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 100 } | Should-BeFasterThan 1s. Time literals like 1s and 50ms just work, and Should-BeSlowerThan is the opposite. #pspester #powershell

This session from #PSConfEU is, by far, my favorite one ever done... Learnt a lot, laughed a lot, and... Got a full 5.0 score on the feedback form. I may have peaked now 😁

Every day I am increasingly convinced that we need UBI immediately. While they are in office, lawmakers should be required to live - actually live, not pretend that it's a home - in the average housing in their district that their family can purchase on UBI.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

I channeled my anger, frustration, and sadness about the state murders of #reneegood and #alexpretti this weekend and started working on Project Witness. There are so many videos recorded by protestors, legal observers, released bodycam footage. But it's difficult to get them all together.

I've sorted out how to ship a #PowerShell Universal app as a module, which allowed me to put the app on a secondary test instance, and it *just friggin works* Tons of docs so people don't stub their toes. By the end of the weekend, y'all can play too! @adamdriscoll.bsky.social is a badass!!
