Literally quoting you lol.
I'm old enough to remember "asl?". Why do you ask about my age, looking for an easy way to dismiss me?
Out of curiosity, are you religious?

To shame someone is entirely different than to feel ashamed of yourself.
Is it? The end result is a feeling of shame. And that feeling of shame, doesn't make people lose weight. I've now said it for the 4th time. But yeah, I'm the one that doesn't understand words.
If you kick a dog, you should feel ashamed of yourself without someone shaming you. If you forgo a healthy weight or lifestyle in favor of overconsumption and ignorance, you should feel ashamed of yourself without someone shaming you.
I see, so it's a moral failing of someone to be fat? Akin to kicking a dog? Wild take.
In the end, you're right. I'm not interested in having this conversation. Because this isn't a conversation about making people healthier, it's a moral conversation. And I don't think someone is immoral for having an eating disorder just as I don't think someone is immoral for having cancer.
If you would like to discuss actionable, material ways to help people I'm all in. If you want to larp as a televangelist screeching about the evils of being fat, I'm out.
If it works for you then no!
But for me, I like using Plex or subsonic so that I can easily access my entire collection from my phone. I have my server setup with automated tooling to download new albums from artists I have monitored, torrent client is always on, I can search for and add music from my phone (as long as I connect to my VPN on the home network). All of this makes sense for my use case, especially considering that I already run the Plex server 24/7 so friends and family can stream whenever they want from it. None of it is on my desktop, so that the server doesn't grind to a halt when I'm gaming or visa-versa. Also I don't have to leave the gaming computer running all the time. And I have the server drives setup to pool their storage together, so adding new drives is relatively easy.
But obviously a setup like this doesn't make sense for everyone. I've spent way too much money on server equipment (mostly hard drives), but one could do a similar but scaled back version of this stuff with an SBC like the raspberry pi. As long as you have the time and will to get it setup.
I'm frankly not even clear what the conversation is that you're trying to have. You claim, "I'm not saying we should shame people" and then go on to once again declare that "if people feel ashamed they'll lose weight". So which is it, is shame helpful as a weightloss tool or not? Spoiler alert: it's not.
To me it honestly seems like you accidentally triple downed on an objectively bad position and are trying to buzzword your way out of it with accusations of virtue signaling and trolling.
Just take the L and move on dude.
Might be cool to hack in support for Plex and subsonic. It's not 1998 anymore, my mp3s aren't sitting in a folder on my desktop anymore. Would be fun to return to winamp and use it to stream music from my server though.
My dad introduced me to Napster and Weird Al.
Do I need to repeat myself for a 3rd time? Do you not realize that "ashamed" is the adjective form of "shame"?
I see, so what is the difference between the two?
I've been thinking of OSS and source available as interchangeable. But now it kind of seems to me that free software is interchangeable with open source software. Is it just a matter of branding?
You maybe replied before seeing my edit, but I actually quoted that article in the edit.
Doesn't FOSS refer to software this is both free and open source? Not a union of free software and open source software? My understanding is that if a piece of software is not both open and free then it is not FOSS.
EDIT:
From the wiki page:
Free and open-source software (FOSS) is software that is available under a license that grants the right to use, modify, and distribute the software, modified or not, to everyone free of charge. The public availability of the source code is, therefore, a necessary but not sufficient condition. FOSS is an inclusive umbrella term for free software and open-source software.

If you’re ashamed for being overweight, that’s something that should motivate you to lose the weight.
You would think so, but you'd be wrong. As I said before, shaming not only doesn't work but has the opposite effect.
As James Corden said:
If making fun of fat people made them lose weight, there'd be no fat kids in schools.
If you're sincere in your desire to make people healthier, then shame is not the way.
If you're only interested in a feeling of superiority, then carry on I guess.
The dictatorship of the bourgeoisie on full display.
