I’m also a type 1 and I force myself to use pens every few months so I don’t get jumped like this. We need implantable insulin pumps again so bad. Also fuck tandem, I’ve moved to Omnipod (which has its own issues, but better than tandem).

You have no idea what you’re talking about.

For T1Ds, you pretty much constantly have to monitor your blood glucose level. I used to use a Pebble for this, now I use an Apple Watch. The Apple Watch backgrounds the monitoring all the damn time, so I have to click multiple buttons and wait to see my blood sugar, when the number is immediately available on my phone (the watch didn’t used to be this bad). The entire point of this hardware project is eliminating that latency.

Also just discovered this issue was acknowledged by ss-o months ago; it's on his project board here https://github.com/orgs/z-shell/projects/4/views/10

Issue was from last september so he's pretty behind but--accusations of being malicious/scammy are not credible.

FWIW, I've used zshell for years now and had a great experience. When vetting it against the other zinit fork, it seemed better documented and more active (new features still being added) while the other fork was simply archival. The dev has been extremely responsive whenever I've had issues or questions.

This is all that is in my zshrc:

  # Install Zi if not already installed
  if [[ ! -f $HOME/.zi/bin/zi.zsh ]]; then
    print -P "%F{33} %F{160}Installing (%F{33}z-shell/zi%F{160})…%f"
    command mkdir -p "$HOME/.zi" && command chmod go-rwX "$HOME/.zi"
    command git clone -q --depth=1 --branch "main" https://github.com/z-shell/zi "$HOME/.zi/bin" && \
      print -P "%F{33} %F{34}Installation successful.%f%b" || \
      print -P "%F{160} The clone has failed.%f%b"
  fi

This seems like a bit of an overreaction to someone contributing open source software. Every component of zshell is open (including the website) under the github organization. If they fucked up the checksum version of the download (didn't exist when I started using zshell), submit a PR maybe? As far as the accusation that they're trying to look like official Zsh: the description for the website and repo is literally "A Swiss Army Knife for Zsh - Unix Shell." You cannot miss it.

I don't have a dog in this but this is clearly an overreaction. ss-o has put a lot of time into this and made the best zsh plugin manager imo. Calling it "scammy looking" and "boo hoo he works in marketing" is a cheap blow.

Fracking does this on a small scale. I had an excellent geology professor, Donald Prothero, who argued manually triggering earthquakes could be a much better idea in high tension areas than waiting for them to happen organically, as we could prepare, and the triggered earthquakes wouldn’t be as bad as waiting for them to happen. But the paperwork would be a nightmare(:

I previously used ZPlug to manage zsh plugins, which added a noticeable latency for each terminal I opened.

z-shell/zi allows you to load plugins async very easily so my terminal feels snappy again. It is compatible with ohmyzsh, presto, zplug, etc; migration is a breeze.

Note: It is a fork of zinit, which was deleted by the author for unknown reasons. There is another repo, zdharma-continuum/zinit, which attempts to preserve/maintain zinit exactly how it was. z-shell/zi has less stars than that repo but much more activity.
