I don't get why people who want to use LLMs to generate code are grumpy because Codeberg doesn't want to host it.
Surely they can just use their LLMs to generate a replacement for Codeberg, which they can operate on whatever basis they choose?

@neil but, but, but, you must accept me in your association despite my hatred of your culture and rules! /s
@neil but then someone would have to pay for the parts needed to host a codeberg alternative. And, for some reason (I'll look it up later), computer parts are like 500% more expensive than they used to be
@neil I get the feeling that source control platforms are viewed a bit like social media these days: Getting thrown off a well-known platform deprives the project of clicks and public interest. I guess being thrown off GitHub is a bit like getting banned from Xitter. Maybe GitLab can be BlueSky and Codeberg can be Mastodon...
@neil my only slight niggle with Codeberg's policy is the slightly subjective (lack of) definition of "mostly generated", which I can't help feeling opens the door to endless debates about how much is too much.
@ahnlak Were I looking for somewhere to host LLM-generated code, I'd take the decision as a sign that I was not welcome on Codeberg, and look for hosting elsewhere.
@neil absolutely, and that's a very clear signal.
LLM usage isn't binary though. The "mostly generated" clause suggests it's fine to have used an LLM to build a small function, for example - at which point, but not putting a number on it, you're into "how much is too much".
To be fair to them, it feels like they're taking a very pragmatic position of effectively saying "no LLM-code, but we're not gonna be fanatical about it".
@neil and SlopHub is right there, too.
@neil They're worried what else they might decide they don't want to host since they now ban things.
I am, of course, joking.
They can just run their own instance of forgejo, without needing to generate anything.
@neil Yabbut, unlike vibe-coding that requires some actuall skill and understanding what you are doing...
@neil Forgejo is *so* easy to host, too. I run my own just because I like having somewhere to keep scripts and bits for my servers.
@advancedrubbish Same!
For some stuff, just running git is ideal, but for other stuff, I like forgejo.
@neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk or even just self-host Forgejo, which their LLM surely is able to explain to them
@sijmen Ha! I've just posted exactly the same thing :)
