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 commentedon Mar 14, 2016
No it's purely about console host. Web cmdlets are used to download, you can do the same with
wgetorcurlon linux and try out the rest (iex).andyleejordan commentedon May 5, 2016
The rick-roll is now even more broken since aliases like

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

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

The fix should be made to the script, given that the scripts were targeting Windows PowerShell.
If any issue is found in powershell when fixing the scripts, please open new issues specific to the issue.
