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.

    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.
