Pester 6.1.0-alpha2 has global mocks, this solves headaches with -ModuleName. -ModuleName is now needed only when the function is not public to tell us where to find it. github.com/pester/Peste... Please try switching using it on your test base, and report issues. #pspester #powershell
Add experimental global mocks by nohwnd · Pull Request #2850 · pester/Pester
A normal mock only applies to calls from the scope where it is defined, or from the module you pass with -ModuleName. Code in another module looks the command up in its own session state and never ...

Wow. Deleting a empty #azure tenant fails for no clear reason. Getting help requires a paid support plan and a subscription which will definitely block tenant deletion (no sub prereq). Make it make sense. 🤦♂️ Imagine having to invoke GDPR laws to use a product feature, the Delete-button.

I'm staring at a single 👻 OU in #ActiveDirectory that lists child OUs sorted by USNCreated. Everything else is sorted by name as expected. It occurs in both ADUC, LDAP and ADWS. What did someone break and how do I fix it? 😅 (Recreating the OU it is not an option, I want to learn the magic spell)

I just published my first #vscode extension 🎉 marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemNa... 5 minutes of blindly configuring a Windows Sandbox resulted in a few hours adding schema validation, completions and syntax highlighting. And a few more learning how to publish extensions... 🙂

"Welcome to the Copilot chat private beta!" 🎉 Finally a decent developer using this computer 😃
Just published two more custom feeds, check the Feeds tab on our profile @bsky.app to see them 👀🚀 • Mutuals: posts from your mutual follows • Best of Follows: top content from people you follow
New feature just dropped: custom feeds! Now you can choose what algorithm powers your social media experience. We’ll feature some in this thread, but you can easily discover more in the feeds tab. Rolling out to app stores now — upgrade to Version 1.29 when it’s available in your app store.
Looking for tips and resources to writing content, primarily blog articles. Will focus on technology topics. Humor or not, tone and language, 1st vs 3rd person, things to avoid etc. Any recommendations?
Cool feature. Now I just have to find someone I trust to maintain a few good lists
You can now create "Mute lists" which are public lists of users that other users can privately subscribe to and automatically mute those users
