I’m watching some disappointing confusion over the Shuggah situation.

To be clear: The company (Alty) that released Shuggah is not associated with the developers of the code Shuggah is built from (xdrip4ios/xdripswift). Alty does not contribute to xdrip4ios. Alty links to xdrip4ios resources for support. Alty provides zero support for Shuggah.

I know that last part is true because every time I’ve reached out to them, they told me to go to the xdrip4ios facebook group.

The xdrip4ios facebook group has a clear notice that they no longer provide support for Shuggah due to their app now, officially, being a fork.

Let me repeat this: Shuggah is a fork of xdrip4ios. Shuggah is not xdrip4ios. Shuggah contributes nothing back to xdrip4ios.

So when looking at whether xdrip4ios can be built for free or if the TestFlight is free, know that xdrip4ios will never charge for their software.

Honestly, I think xdrip4ios has a case to have Apple take down Shuggah from the app store. But the xdrip4ios devs seem pretty uninterested in any of the app store stuff. Which is why they don’t put in the work to release to the app store and allowed someone else to do it, leading to this situation.

Anyway, I have a private TestFlight of xdrip4ios now.

A quotation from Lincoln

By the frame of the Government under which we live this same people have wisely given their public servants but little power for mischief, and have with equal wisdom provided for the return of that little to their own hands at very short intervals. While the people retain their virtue and vigilance no Administration by any extreme of wickedness or folly can very seriously injure the Government in the short space of four years.

A couple years ago, one of my Heaux was a tech founder.

A founder of what, I could never figure out. He and his co-founder were brilliant computer science dudes from Berkeley and they were burning through their VC cash, round by round, trying to find a strategy for whatever thingy they had built.

The #shenanigans aside (which were great, btw), there were moments when we'd veer close to Politics. He'd suddenly get...discreet with his language and a slow waving flag would pop up in my brain.

That's all it took. I saw him. I knew his politics. I knew he'd compartmentalized being on my Heauxtation. Dudes have no problem fucking people on the other side of their ideological gulf.

But I do.

And that's why he's no longer on the Heauxtation.

SIGH. He was 6'4 and....gifted.
Oh, well.

Heaux come, Heaux go.
