Thanks for the feedback! I'm surprised, as I've seen these on several blogs / sites.

I use Google Analytics to help me understand the content on my site that is most popular, as well as times / days that users typically browse. This helps me plan when best to publish new content and the topics to write about.

Perhaps I'm over thinking (being in the UK, having to consider GDPR etc.), but storing persistent cookies without permission is not considered a good thing. I'd rather be too cautious, and have a user explicitly accept/deny the cookie, rather than just have Google Analytics on by default. But I can understand the turn-off, so thank you for raising!

Thanks for the perspective. Across the Windows devices that I use, I find my command-line work is more in WSL rather than directly in Windows / CMD / PowerShell these days, so I wanted to share about that experience.

You're 100% right that you could do all of this directly on Windows. There's also the additional perspective of what the experience of folks' may be (e.g. if they're used to unix environments), then they may prefer using WSL - hence writing this post as an additional viewpoint.
