With LibroFM I can just... download my books. I don't know if EVERYTHING is DRM-free but this was. And now it's available in my selfhosted audiobookshelf server and backed up to my NAS & external HDD with all my other books. But you can just use their app too.

I have had an Audible account for many years, but I don't like renting access to my books, so I've been using Libation to download and DeDRM my audible purchases.
getlibation.com
If you like audio #books, but don't want to support #Audible, I only just learned about @libro.fm. A portion of your purchases go to the local bookseller you designate, and you can download your books without DRM ❤

multi-pwsh 0.7.0 is out with initial #PowerShell virtual environment (venv) support, through runtime hooking of PowerShell, PowerShellGet and PSResourceGet! Try it out now, let me know what you think 👇
github.com/Devolutions/...
I really dig this, definitely trying it out soon. Thanks!
Cool! I don't do a lot of python dev but when I use venv there I'm used to creating a .venv/ folder at the root of the workspace/repo (and adding it to .gitignore). It looks like the primary usage pattern here is to create a named env under ~/.pwsh right?
Sometimes I wish password fields had a "close enough" feature. Something like...
"You clearly know what your password is. The probability of being THAT close on the first try and NOT knowing it is astronomical. You may pass."
(yeah yeah hashing makes this impossible and that's a good thing)
Right there with you. Vegas does nothing for me. They have lots of hotel rooms and event spaces so I get why it's a popular destination for conferences, but I'd like to see planners get more creative.
🚨 This conference will sell out. 🚨
And when it does… the only thing left is “I’ll go next year.”
So the real question is…
👀 Are you going, or watching everyone else post about it?
I have a TMNT powershell shirt 😅
First year, A. B ever since ✌
I decided to rename my module. Now it's called "GliderUI":
github.com/mdgrs-mei/Gl...
Cross-platform desktop GUI framework for #PowerShell built using Avalonia.
- Runs on Windows, macOS and Linux
- You can build GUIs by code or XAML
- No more freezing GUIs
This looks beautiful, nice work!
Nice! Opinion - AI is to coding like the digital camera was to photography. It makes it easy for anyone to start building great things with little to no prior experience. And just like with photography, the more experience you have, the better the results, no matter what tools you use.
$id = New-Guid wsb start --id $id -c $configXmlWithMappedFolders wsb exec --id $id -c 'powershell -File c:\scripts\startup.ps1' wsb connect --id $id
I've been using the wsb CLI for the most part. For a project where I use sandbox a lot, I'll write a wsb file with my mapped folders, and I'll have a simple function to launch the sandbox and run my startup script from a mapped folder. Jeff has a module too www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Win...
Sure, 99% of the time the driver is paying attention and will be able to assume control again, but what about the 1% who are having a medical emergency, or fell asleep behind the wheel? Just send them off the road at full speed then?
Why not keep it on, enable hazards, and slow down instead?
Kia's Lane Keep Assist feature has this funny rule where if it can't detect your hands on the wheel it will eventually just turn off.
They don't want people using it for "autopilot". I get that. But is shutting off the only thing keeping the car on the road the right move?
Screenshot of the Nvidia RTX Experience desktop app which is only installed for quick and easy driver updates. Have they always required logging in just to update your drivers? Ridiculous.
*sigh* No #Nvidia, I'm not logging in to your annoying desktop app to check for a driver update. I guess I'll just go find it on your website where I sure hope I won't be faced with a login prompt for a driver...

No Sir, but I'm looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones again this year - see you there!
People keep personifying LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude, and I find myself imagining these models are like Bob in the "We Are Legion (We Are Bob)" book / Bobiverse series.
Not sure if coincidence but also Robert (Bob) Daly in Black Mirror USS Callister episodes has digital clone enslaved in game.

Screenshot of an anti-phishing training email with a fake conversation between fake employees "LMAO" and "ROFL"
I love that the username portion of the fake people in this anti-phishing email I just got are "LMAO" and "ROFL"
Also, MCP servers are just web APIs with a contract. We already have web APIs, and mature methods of handling authentication. 🙄
So much of what is created in the AI/LLM/agent space feels like it's being done by people with no development background or an intense need for everything to seem novel.
Thank you. I've been saying the same thing, just not as loudly lol...
Filling your repo with markdown files with detailed instructions for all the things you want your coding agent to do well is exactly the kind of thing we should have been doing to ensure human developers could code well all along
Cool, same! It's definitely one of the challenges of sharing powershell scripts with non-technical folks. Probably why there are those ps1-to-exe tools out there, though they usually get flagged by antivirus and, well, yeah they probably should be lol
