Powershell: There is no way to rick-roll

[vors]

Couple things that would be nice to have

Rick-roll

Burning console

Is that an issue with the web cmdlets not being implemented? If it can't be done in nano, it's not done in PSL codebase. Did you mean this to target full powershell?

[vors]

No it's purely about console host. Web cmdlets are used to download, you can do the same with wget or curl on linux and try out the rest (iex).

The rick-roll is now even more broken since aliases like Sort are removed, per #929.

Rick-roll works on PowerShell Core 6.0.4 with minor (non-terminating) error at start (on $runspace.ApartmentState = "MTA" - no such property).

Doesn't work on mac :(

For rick-roll I see no image (and background changes to white)
For the burning console, there is unimplemented API

Exception calling "UpdateScreen" with "1" argument(s): "The method or operation is not implemented."

It kind of works on 7.0.0-rc.2, though it outputs what I believe to be all the frames of the animation first and then starts playing. Does play quite well besides the initial output though

Burning console works from what I can tell

This works on 7.0.3
