Todays FOSS Drama served to you by @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de Tl;dr: Codeberg wants to exclude "vibed"/" LLM'd projects from its platform by means of TOU, hilarity ensues. https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/pulls/1253#issuecomment-19820434 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49003386 (via, also some discussion) Adding one here: Burden of proof and how do you sufficiently prove or refute the "vibed" nature of any given work without falling to arbitrary / unpredictable results. One more argument for self-hosting. Also interesting to projects such as #bizzfed or #nolto both of which would likely or clearly be banned from the platform now. #fossdrama #foss #hackernews #opensource #LLMs #tos #codeberg #intellectualproperty #selfhosting

@Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de I did look at some of the initiators/sponsors of the original proposal and did find one of apparent more important maintainers of @forgejo@floss.social and formerly Gitea until it turned "commercial". I wonder if this will lead to yet another fork of what started out as Gogs some probably 10 years ago now. Vibegeo? Vibeforge? Vibedistrict? (Thanks the original author of Gogs back when btw. I was already pretty amazing back when!) Certainly I will refrain from trying to propose (with PRs) a set of extensions to the issue system as said extensions and their raison d'etre have the evil taint of the LLM and hence certainly wouldn't be accepted. 🤷 #gogs #gitea #forgejo

@jti42@infosec.exchange @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de The most sane answer in this thread: "If you have to ask then the answer is no." If you're _honestly_ wondering if your project is "mostly vibe-coded", then it is. Having hard rules is irrelevant as any bad actor will work around them.
