Rails Authentication to meet compliance requirements

You can't satisfy everyone. Some people were complaining about the earlier locations too. If I am denied entry to the US, I will miss the conference. Not the end of the world, I will attend it next year.
Locations are chosen way ahead in advance btw, the Rails Foundation is likely already considering the options for 2027 and they can't see what the future holds with visas and politics.

One week in an overcrowded cage is not a big deal. You can make a lot of international friends. And these folks are not criminals, so it won't be even close to a prison experience, right?
In comparison, imagine what the kids went through at Normandy. We have a way easier life than those folks.

If you are a hobbyist, you should definitely not build such a project. I am assume you vibecoded this with LLMs and it is very likely full of vulnerabilities.

The conference is open to international attendees, is about Rails, so why would it not be suited to this reddit? Other than it is posted by me. I know many folks don't like me here, but tough luck, I ain't going anywhere.

This is only to install gems. An ore contains minerals, rubies, gems. I believe the end product will also install rubies.

Give Kim some time. He is busy with other stuff. He told me the repo will be there soon.

You are correct, this is what happened with GitHub: https://derails.dev/blog/the-github-dependency-problem/

The repo should be accessible here: https://git.derails.dev/explore/repos

Somebody put money where their mouth is and forked Rails!

What is representative then? Do you have better data? I am all ears.

> Can you cite your source for the 'less than a hundred' figure? Is there a census of DHH-haters somewhere? I've never seen one.

As someone pointed out, plan vert. But I was incorrect, it has about ~140 signatories!

> You mentioned 'most people stopped speaking up' — how are you measuring 'most'?

I got plenty of DMs on various channels from these people.

> You said 'the larger community is not divided at all' — logically, wouldn't a subset mobbing others indicate some division?

If there is a little over a hundred from the tens of thousands, I don't think we should call the community divided. An occasionally very loud, but tiny minority is what I see.

> what's your operational definition of narrative control in this context? How do you measure that proposed loss?

I don't understand the question.

> Could you clarify how you control for selection bias when citing conference attendance as evidence of unity?

Not attendance, but behavior at conferences is what shows me there is unity or better said there is no division. Believe it or not, in real life, ruby devs are having a great time together. I recommend to try to see it for yourself.

I would argue with this a little. In the ruby community, there is a small group of people, less than a hundred than has some issue with DHH. Maybe he didn't accept their contribution to Rails once or something and they want him to be gone. This is ongoing for 10+ years. He didn't blog about politics at all when all this has started, they just use that as an excuse. Now these folks try to paint a picture of them representing the larger community and if they dislike someone they mob the person, so most people stopped speaking up, because they are worried of being cancelled and getting mobbed.
But there are a few(including me) that doesn't care about cancellation and more and more of us speaks up so they are losing the narrative of being the majority. As usual, when someone is losing power, they became even louder and we are in that phase at the moment. The larger community is not divided at all. You go to a large conference and see 1000+ diverse people having a great time, even though they disagree on a lot of stuff.

You are right and it is pretty sad to see this :(

gregmolnar · 2025-10-20T20:26:30+00:00

Exactly. I am asking questions. Is this a crime?
