For coding I am using <strong>Visual Studio Code</strong>, on my macOS I am using <strong>iTerm</strong> with <strong>Oh My ZSH</strong> and of course <strong>GitHub</strong> to store content of the webpage. However on Windows as the default I switched to <strong>Windows Terminal</strong> as my main command line tool. But, on Windows 10 or 11 in Windows Terminal there is this annoying popup when you start it.</p> <div class="highlight"><div class="chroma"> <table class="lntable"><tr><td class="lntd"> <pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code><span class="lnt">1 </span><span class="lnt">2 </span><span class="lnt">3 </span><span class="lnt">4 </span></code></pre></td> <td class="lntd"> <pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code class="language-fallback" data-lang="fallback"><span class="line"><span class="cl">Windows PowerShell </span></span><span class="line"><span class="cl">Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.
