Now they just envy you! True "chad" behaviour TBH 😆

It's technically possible — Station also has this, so that you can add several keys and use separate ones on different devices of yours.
It's just not the true/designated way 🤓

@jezebelkat @lowqualityfacts
Maybe he's not street smart enough to realise that 🤣

I bet most of them would rather choose no severance pay than severed limbs 🤣

Cyclists who are also linux users must have unbearable levels of driver anxiety 😱

Soon, due to inflation, you'd have to pay with full dollars ☝

Hey, but at least they've defeated SPAM…
Wait a minute, they didn't! 😡
What if it was all their plan to link our online and real identities?

It doesn't?! 😮
You're a fraud, I will sue you! And I want a refund for my Fediverse Gold subscription!

Too early to abolish it, let's keep it for now. I propose renaming it to shallow state to commemorate this happening.

> 11/10 manipulation, contagious, too
Exactly! Another disappointment of mine is that manipulation also doesn't always come out of intent — people just get used to that, someone did it to them and they start reproducing it faithfully!
You can't even "relax" around these people and act in good faith like it would be comfortable to you — because they are going to twist that anyway, if you come up with an attempt to fix that, it turns into another device they use to manipulate you 😩

@unspeaker
Yes, more or less the same here — this is where the drive for being liked by others stems from. But in the end, even you succeed at that — the prize only makes you feel more hollow, because you end up being surrounded by the wrong people, having to do things that you might not like instead of things you enjoy, very unfulfilling!
Well, if we come from the same mess and to more or less the same conclusions, at least — maybe we aren't wrong this time.

@unspeaker
Yeah, it's like that — it's hard to grasp for those of us who think on more abstract levels and in the longer term, but most people — they function on more… vegetative level if I might say so.
I mentioned intent — because it's one of the greatest disappointment for me personally: most of the time there is no intent, you do something and expect other person to think why you did that, but they only go for the most immediate response.

Sorry for resorting to giving advice instead of just listening, but… Damn, that's what people do — we have to accept ourselves for who we are, someone's got to do it 🤣

@unspeaker
Damn, I still ended up giving unsolicited advice 😅, but I think I know what you're talking about and I think this has happened to me more times than I wish it had. True — acting more bold and establishing where you want to be with people early on might make some of them not like you, but in the long run it's a better strategy than getting along with the wrong people, ultimately losing motivation for it and sliding into a "bad state" of sorts.

@unspeaker
It's not like people would become more understanding any time soon, so you have to state explicitly what you do not like. Of course fixing it at a later stage when they already got the wrong idea that you find it acceptable ain't easy — but not impossible and it's still better course of action than blaming yourself in retrospective for what you could've done. And it's better than relying on substance of any sort for short-term relief. Little-by-little it's possible to fix anything.

@unspeaker
It's not like they are doing it out of intentional malice — they are just "acting naturally". If you play along with it in order to work something out in the short term, expect them to understand that you didn't like it, but let it slide, you'd be gravely disappointed later when they get used to it and start doing it more and more often.
Just like on personal level you have to establish personal space, you have to watch you work relationships to not get out of hand.
