Yeah, and the brain rot and that AI code is dumb and ruins projects.

So much more seems wrong than just the business model.

I guess prepare for potential kernel rot: https://www.neowin.net/news/linus-torvalds-declares-massive-ai-fueled-code-surges-as-the-new-normal-for-linux/

It is important to understand that the core disagreement is not whether Fedora should support AI development

Sad. Even the kernel seems to be going all in now: https://www.neowin.net/news/linus-torvalds-declares-massive-ai-fueled-code-surges-as-the-new-normal-for-linux/ I do hope there’ll be a discussion one day, so far no response yet: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/e12330b9-c29e-45ca-9375-9e3d13426d85@horse64.org/T/

Where does Codeberg rule out commercial projects? I’ve never heard of that being banned over there. (Do you perhaps mean closed-source?)

I’ve moved to Codeberg. It works well enough for me.

Gitlab is trying hard to ruin the software so beware of that.

I feel like it’s been going downhill since 2019, given the point in time Microsoft acquired them was in 2018 I’d say people have just not wanted to acknowledge the trajectory. (That included me.)

Every big feature since 2019 has been enterprise slop, in my opinion:

• In 2019 they announced dependabot. What’s wrong with it?

  It’s not configurable, rather than allowing a universal mechanism so people can feed dependencies into it via some custom tool that e.g. generates a standardized listing, it only supports the popular package managers. This is exactly what big enterprise wants since they only care about their super old codebases and what those use, not any upcoming stack.

• In 2019, they also announced security advisories. What’s wrong with it?

  That Github to this day in 2026, hasn’t bothered to add the most basic feature that regular FOSS projects would need to handle security reports, which is confidential issues. Instead, the assumption seems to be you’re either a big enterprise that already has some dedicated security team with their own email infrastructure, or Microsoft doesn’t care about you.

• In 2020, they announced Github’s Codespaces. What’s wrong with it?

  It makes the UI more complicated and as far as I know leaves buttons for it everywhere that can’t be turned off even if you don’t want it. And it’s a vendor lock-in feature that’s expensive, the average small FOSS project will neither have the budget to use it nor likely care to do so.

• Then of course the entire AI slop spin since 2025 ish.

There’s probably more, but those are the big ones that I’ve noticed that made me suspicious of where this was going.

The studies about hidden errors don’t really care about how “slop” the code looks, as far as I understand them. That’s why LLM code is kind of dangerous.

My condolences.

Mainline Linux doesn’t even run on some of the devices I have, not without an external dkms item. There’s sadly basically no chance FreeBSD would run.

Github seems to be down a lot, too, although perhaps not their pages part. Perhaps you could try to have just the pages in some other place?

I heard it’s alright for games and many apparently work. Sadly, FreeBSD simply doesn’t seem to have drivers for a lot of hardware that I’m using. And as far as I know, they don’t have an LLM policy yet (so they could still come out in favor of it).

I like that I can read this as you stating you use Atlassian yet hate Gitlab, and the statement still works either way 😅

That makes sense, since Gitlab seems to be trying to challenge Atlassian. In who manages to make worse software…

I’m saying if their policy is to accept AI code, which the link seems to demonstrate that it is, the rate of future hidden errors in the kernel code is likely going to go up. This is what all the studies are saying, including those involving competent coders.

Perhaps Forgejo will at some point change into a hard fork. That would be kind of nice…
