The problem is meant to deal with future conflicts as well as present ones, and re-checking on every update would be a pain. The more memorable and natural your aliases, the more likely they are to get clobbered later ….
3) I haven't run in to this problem, but as you can imagine, NOT being able to change it provides a number of benefits from a security standpoint, and if you do want to change it, it is just a matter of creating a new one and deleting the old one. I should think that'd be good enough for anyone.
By doing this your names aren't in 1NF and you're making it harder than needed to do updates. If your names are cute/unique then changing, expanding, or reducing service responsibilities just means updating the single document that says what Dreki does.
Thanks! Yes, that's a bit annoying to change it again and communicate (and, possibly, confuse users even more). Agree, the search engines suggest Termius as a fix now, so we'll probably leave it as is.
The problem isn't about laziness, it is about defaults.
If Microsoft removed them, installing an update to PS could literally break existing scripts. Sure, you can trivially fix it by re-creating the aliases, but only after you realise that an Update broke it.
It's more effort than I would like. I should not be bothered with updating hidden config files containing data that is mostly not human readable. I want to prove my identity once and let the system take care of the rest.
This is already built into the system though and you can refresh your PESEL in those cases and invalidate the previous one. Which, for handling rare edge cases isn't a bad solution really.
I really love this new feature however my only concern is that renaming some parameters will trigger a lot of changes in other places as a side effect, thus polluting diffs.
In this case I think it wouldn't cause bugs if the effect of 1 and 2 would be switched. Then everybody would use it like a boolean and that would be fine, only the few people who really want the name-check disabled would use that option.
I was going for obvious. There is (currently) a way around that. I say currently because I have updates to fix it.
I know this would be a "fun tool" for some people to play jokes and pranks on other people, but cannot in good conscious let that happen without /some/ level of indication.
