I am deep in the rabbit hole of looking into an apparently deeply scammy looking zsh plugin manager called "zi". I think it's an extremely bad idea to use "z-shell/zi" or anything else from the same "creators". There's an entire field of red flags here.

    I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought this

    People need to realize that social media platforms are not always the best medium. Post a summary with the link to the rest of your information and I promise you anyone who’s going to interact/show interest with your article is going to click that link.

    This let’s people be able to read your article without having to duct tape all of your post together to get the separation between posts, and allows for easier sharing of medium.

      I couldn’t follow your post with all those line breaks at first. If you had preceded your post with “I’m glad i’m not the only one who thought this: a 🧵” I would have understood that each paragraph was related much more easily.

        I apologize if it was hard to read, if it makes you feel better I don’t fully understand emoji lingo, so I’m not quite understanding your post fully either. Are you suggesting that I make it all one big text splurge? I know that might look better on pc but it makes reading on mobile atrocious lol

          Oh I was just being sarcastic and trying to make a joke. I’ve seen a ton of people start off with that bullshit on microblogging sites, like “How Threat Actor APT Whatever Implanted Malware In Popular Package Source Code. \n A 🧵”, using the thread emoji instead of just saying thread. Then they go off on like 22 tweets that should have just been a blog post, but Medium is dumb and their employer isn’t fancy enough to have a public blog to post after-action findings on.

          Your post was absolutely fine and completely readable on mobile and PC alike, I’m truly sorry I caused any confusion or worry about formatting on your part!

            You are fine! I just wasn’t sure. Also I never considered that it might be an employer restriction for some of those. I guess that would make sense of why some people might post info dumps in that matter, even if it is hard to read.

            Additionally, that emoji makes a lot more sense now, I figured it was something like that. I just hadn’t seen it used that way before.
