To be fair setting up a user account for a random file is a nuisance.

I run a simple web server for just this purpose. Anyone in the net can access my software folder via any browser, download whatever they need. Windows/Linux/Android apps, scripts, etc.

This way no user account is needed, I just send them a link. And the files are well-isolated by both the share the webserver connects through (read only) and then users can only access the files through the web server which doesn't have any change capability.

    I think you missed the first part of my comment though.

    Being "better" (which is subjective) doesn't mean any other positions are automatically intolerant or "fascist."

    I think people are grossly misunderstanding his intent and framing it in the worst possible interpretation.

    DHH never said he wanted anyone dead. He never said to shoot anyone. He never said anyone shouldn't exist.

    It's natural to not want to become a minority yourself. We know how badly they are treated. People often have natural preferences for their own culture and people, and they can still want those things while also acknowledging other people can exist... but not everyone agrees on the most appropriate balance.

    Mass immigration undeniably brings with it certain logistical, economical and cultural aspects to the table.

    I have no problem with any specific people immigrating to my country, but that doesn't mean I want all my local culture, friends and favorite restaurants to be replaced with everything else from another country. You need balance.

    Even if someone faced with that same situation said something tone-deaf like "these need to go home"... that doesn't necessarily mean they want them dead or that they think they don't have a right to exist, or even that they are racist. They might just not like change in general, or like I mentioned, they feel like part of their (local) culture is disappearing. They just might not have the best way of articulating that.

    And similarly, I think we should not be so quick to judge their intent without actually talking to them about it.

    Love Navidrome, it’s one of the best pieces of software in my life. [...]

    I kind of feel the same. But I had changed my country of living, and left way to much behind my back. But I wasn't fully on the streaming/physical, I was kind of in the middle. Some stuff physical, and also streaming for some stuff.

    As a comment to your post, if everything you have is purchased via Bandcamp, I find their own app pretty reasonable for on-the-go streaming, but they actually recently added their own Subsonic-compatible implementation, [...]

    I like the idea, but I'm so afraid of the rug pull that I can't get back on this. I'll keep my music on my drive and live like that for some time. Even knowing that the HDDs are getting pricier by the day I want to keep with me for now on. But I like the idea, give you the files, but also provide the option to stream.

    Love Navidrome, it's one of the best pieces of software in my life. I'm one of those lucky/obsessive people that never stopped maintaining a music collection in the era of streaming. I think I used Spotify for about 6 months in total, but always came back to my own collection, especially when I could upload the whole thing to Google Play Music to access it anywhere. After GPM was killed I started self-hosting with the OG Subsonic server but soon switched to Navidrome.

    As a comment to your post, if everything you have is purchased via Bandcamp, I find their own app pretty reasonable for on-the-go streaming, but they actually recently added their own Subsonic-compatible implementation, so you can connect to that server with whatever Navidrome client app you use as well: https://blog.bandcamp.com/2026/07/16/discover-improvements-and-subsonic-implementation/ I think this really makes switching to a Bandcamp-based streaming library significantly more accessible for any folks that don't have the desire/willingness/knowledge to set up their own fully self-hosted system.

    There is no "push back" from most developers, not in the direction you're thinking anyway, which is what the microblogtard is calling "apathy", as people grew tired of the moral imposters, who happen to (very randomly) align with corpos when it comes to target lists btw (they are "GNU bad" and "Stallman bad" mobs).

    Most developers, when they have their developer hat on, are not bothered by the constant hormonal brainless unhinged Find a Nazi under the pillow campaigns of the microblogtard sphere and its echo chambers when they leak outside, and that's exactly the right positioning.

    Some of those developers may even be more "radical" than the microblogtards themselves. But they have the ability to compartmentalize, contextualize, and have the assuredness, mental stability, and impulse control not to feel the need to moral posture and find mob targets 24/7 to feel good about themselves.

    So you want to call people fascists and nazis while also excluding people whose opinions you don’t like? The irony is downright wild.

    You've missed something.

    The tolerant want as much tolerance as possible. If the tolerant decide to tolerate the intolerant, then eventually you end up with no tolerance. So to have as much tolerance as possible, the tolerant must tolerate everyone except the intolerant.

    But doesn't that mean that the tolerant are no longer tolerant / are now intolerant?

    This is the paradox of tolerance.

    But it stops being a paradox once you understand that tolerance can be ordered by degrees of tolerance.

    I'll demonstrate it with game theory:

    • Each game starts off with 5 players (named 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) working on a shared project.
    • Players can vote to remove other players from the game.
    • The game ends when the game state stops changing.
    • Ending with a higher score is better.
    • Team A: The percentage of players working on the project is the score. (These are the tolerant)
    • Team B: The percentage of players working on the project who are in Team B is the score. (These are the intolerant, they cannot tolerate Team A)

    Game 1:

    • Team A contains Players 1, 2 & 3
    • Team B contains Players 4 & 5
    • Turn 1: 4 & 5 threaten to leave the project if player 1 is not removed.
    • Turn 2: Players 1-3 vote for Player 1 to remain, Players 4-5 vote for Player 1 to leave. Remain vote wins.
    • Turn 3: Players 4-5 follow through with threat and leave
    • Team A score: 60%
    • Team B score: 0%

    Game 2:

    • Team A contains Players 1, 2 & 3
    • Team B contains Players 4 & 5
    • Turn 1: 4 & 5 threaten to leave the project if player 1 is not removed.
    • Turn 2: Players 1-3 vote for Player 1 to remain, Players 4-5 vote for Player 1 to leave. Remain vote wins.
    • Turn 3: Players 4-5 withdraw threat
    • Team A score: 100%
    • Team B score: 40%

    Game 3:

    • Team A contains Players 1, 2 & 3
    • Team B contains Players 4 & 5
    • Turn 1: 4 & 5 threaten to leave the project if player 1 is not removed.
    • Turn 2: Players 2-5 vote and Player 1 is removed.
    • Turn 3: 4 & 5 threaten to leave the project if player 2 is not removed.
    • Turn 4: Players 3-5 vote and Player 2 is removed.
    • Turn 5: Players 4-5 vote to remove Player 3.
    • Team A score: 0%
    • Team B score 100%

    Game 4:

    • Team A contains Players 1, 2 & 3
    • Team B contains Players 4 & 5
    • Turn 1: 4 & 5 threaten to leave the project if player 1 is not removed.
    • Turn 2: Players 1-3 vote for players 4 & 5 to leave, Players 4-5 vote for Player 1 to leave. Players 4-5 removed.
    • Team A score: 60%
    • Team B score: 0%

    Game 5:

    • Team A contains Players 1, 2 & 3
    • Team B contains Players 4 & 5
    • Turn 1: 4 & 5 threaten to leave the project if player 1 is not removed.
    • Turn 2: Players 1-3 vote for Player 1 to remain, Players 4-5 vote for Player 1 to leave. Remain vote wins.
    • Turn 3: 4 & 5 threaten to leave the project if player 2 is not removed.
    • Turn 4: Players 1-3 vote for Player 2 to remain, Players 4-5 vote for Player 2 to leave. Remain vote wins.
    • The same 4 turns repeat, the game hangs
    • The game can continue at one of:
      • Game 1 turn 3
      • Game 2 turn 3
      • Game 3 turn 2
      • Game 4 turn 2
    • Team A score: 60% + 100% + 0% + 60%, over 4 games averages to: 55%
    • Team B score: 0% + 40% + 100% + 0%, over 4 games averages to: 35%

    That is the simple version of the game: Player 3 leans tolerant, so they're on the tolerant side.

    The other simple version of the game has Player 3 leaning intolerant, but that results in only one path of players 3-5 remove player 1, then player 2, then 4-5 removes 3, then the game is stuck in stalemate since player 5 can't remove player 4 since there is no tiebreaker, or there is only player 5 and the project stalls out.

    The complex version of the game has player 1 as the most inclusive and player 5 the most exclusive with player 3 is on neither team and randomly voting with team a, team b, or abstaining from voting. It's too long to fit in a comment here (since there's a lot of games to write out), but you end up with the same verdict as player 3 being on the tolerant side.

    Verdict: It is always better to be on the more inclusive team rather than the more exclusive team.


    Now back to the current issue at hand.

    The "Chuds" (as the original post has called them) are the exclusive team. Their members have stated things like removing non-white people from the UK, removing trans people from projects, shooting Romani people (which would obviously remove them from participating in projects), etc...

    The "non-chuds" team are the inclusive team. They want to include as many people as possible (non-whites, trans, Romani, etc...).

    When the "Chuds" team tries to remove someone, it is in the best interest for the "non-chuds" team to prevent the person from being removed, even if it leads to the "chuds" breaking away from the project, or if it leads to the "chuds" needing to be removed from the project to stop the stalemate.

    The "non-chuds" removing the "chuds" doesn't make them intolerant. It's the option which preserves the most tolerance when the "non-chuds" don't withdraw their demands.

    I've not really seen any options, but it seems like there should be. Any time one system becomes the system it tends to end up bad, eitehr intentionally, or from creep dumping more stuff in to make it "better" until it's broken.
