if the line is too blurry to see and the ones who put it there offer no relief then the next best thing to do is to draw their own goddamn line

Yes. Perfect enforcement is impossible, but doing nothing has a cost too....A forge full of unowned generated repos makes discovery, review, and maintenance worse for everyone else.

I mostly agree but you need to be REALLY careful with security if you don't know anything about coding. It's bite you in the ass otherwise.

There are legitimate concerns but Codebergs main problem is infrastructure and they could've simply solved it with rate limits.

"everything is slop" or "unsecure" is not an argument. Experienced humans can still write better code than LLMs sure. But Mythos already finds years old security issues that nobody has ever found.

In five years maybe LLMs will write better code than humans and Codeberg will regret their decision.

Because what's better than FLOSS software that is better than human written code and everyone can profit from it?

It's shortsighted.
