But did it work? 😜

(This should be in all caps, but I'm keeping low profile on the timeline): who the fuck came up with an emoji "cirno_police" or even with the though of cirlou (sorry for not capitalising, but we're keeping low profile, remember?) being in THA FORCE? 🤬

@Tony
But I've seen it work too — both boys and girls, just getting out of their pit and getting back on track.
I've even lost a lot of weight myself, although it took much more than that — making cooking fun and such.
That shit works — I think we just don't see many success stories on the InterWebs, when people move on with their lives. Not many like this, most want drama 🤷

@Tony
Well, as it always was — something that started as a tool to loose anxiety that prevents you from not doing the shit you really need to be doing, got picked up by some people as an excuse to… just not do anything and, carrying on with their already unhealthy shit — nothing new here!

@fcktheworld587

@Tony
At later stages it dropped the latter part of dropping blaming yourself part, encouraging change, and adopting "You don't like the way you look and they don't like it either? Just tell them to go fuck themselves and die!!!" — effectively eliminating the reason to change entirely and just transforming blaming yourself into blaming others…
I don't like this shit either.

@fcktheworld587

@Tony
We used to have a way more twisted culture of "People think you're fat? Just start making more money so they'd love you even despite being fat and ugly!"
Not much healthier if you ask me.
I think I know what you're getting at though. The original thought behind body positivity was: "You might not like the way you look and that is okay, you still deserve for people to like you, and if you want, you can even change the way you look — this isn't the reason to be give up".

@fcktheworld587

@Tony
I still see it as positive dynamic: people get more comfortable with themselves, now they talk more openly about it, soon they will move on from blaming others to figuring out if it causes problems for them personally and whether they are willing to solve it 🤷‍♀️

@fcktheworld587

@Tony
And I don't think we got here because of some social processes, it's just that people weren't talking much about it before — it was considered shameful universally. Now we got to a stage of talking about some things more openly, but it ended up in pointing fingers at some other group: "Look, they do it too and they are much worse than we are!" (In fact it's in the 5-10% ballpark difference).

@fcktheworld587

@Tony
Ah, when it comes to extra weight — that is true. Although, I think men have adopted that vision of body positivity too:
— No one loves me because I'm a fat fuck 😩
— So… stop being a fat fuck? 🤔
— Hurr-durr 🤪
Men are just slower at adopting that shit — I'm pretty sure we'd get to blaming others for everything too.
But I mean in general, men-only groups tend to be not much more healthy than women are.

Looks like Linux support isn't stellar at the moment 🤔

@newt @iska
O-oh 😯
Makes sense, didn't know that.

I always wonder why Mossad, AFAIR they are a British company, should at least be MI6 🤭

We used to have a button for that 😁

Have we come full circle? 🤔

@theorytoe
> yeah I am aware of the implementation
I didn't mean you, it always felt weird to me that it became a Matrix meme, despite having nothing to do with Matrix specifically.
> i just kinda find it stupid that it even shows these messages
Element does this too, but these placeholders have a button to re-request the keys — so you can bring other device, such as your phone, online and do it, they become actual messages soon after. They have probably copied that UI paradigm… partially 😂

@RadioAzureus @RL_Dane @gordoooo_z
Seems so! I have an old SIM-card that doesn't have monthly payments, I can pay for "fast" data per gig, otherwise it's limited to 128 kbps. It's unusable — sometimes even DNS queries seem to fail, loading a Wikipedia page takes ~10 retries.
I've been experimenting with Gemini on it lately — they seem to be unaware (or don't care) how to throttle such traffic so it works well. I have an old ARM netbook with a built-in cellular modem — would be perfect for it.

@theorytoe A lot of people on Fedi seem to genuinely believe that something like this is Matrix-specific and XMPP is somehow immune. But that's exactly how Double Ratchet implementation supporting multiple devices works — this is prone to happen when device having the required keys isn't online.
The only case when XMPP just works is when there is no encryption involved. Or when using that legacy thing that just stores the keys on the server in unencrypted form — kinda works, but is a bad idea.
