I think the “regret” post misses an entire point, that Codeberg doesn’t want to be the place where AI stuff is hosted. Maybe it wasn’t clear in their communications but it always seemed to me the copyright and resource stuff was more of a justification of something they wanted to do anyways.

Also everyone suggesting AI should just be treated as a tool comfortably ignores the externalized costs. Maybe there’s some “yeah it sucks but we can’t to anything and it so we just use it” and that’s it. I’m so tired of lengthy AI-is-just-a-tool justifications that are omitting the central point.

The article seems correct with the “Codeberg’s reputation” clause though. That one smells bad, not sure why they felt the need to add it.

Yes, though that used to be discriminative AI, where now generative AI is used if I’m not mistaken.

Thanks for chiming in! I don’t fully agree with your reasoning re the usage of AI but I can accept your stance and am glad that you implemented it opt in with no intention of annoying me into using it. I also know many people have been asking for those features for a while though.

The person creating the issue has been downvoted here as well, even though this is a largely anti-ai place in my perception.

By now I also found the upgrade guide which lists the main features - I usually read the release notes, but this time it was a whole lot and hard to take it all in.

That, plus, it’s driving away vibe coders just because they don’t want to be there. The rule doesn’t have to be enforceable 100% in order to be effective.

Yeah it maintains it’s own folder structure and I’m not aware of a way past that (not that I looked).

There’s several more options to get the documents into it though. Ingest folder, via email, certainly more.

Bit off topic, but I noticed this post has quite more comments than on reddit (currently 59 to 38) and more votes as well. /r/selfhosted is quite crowded usually, kinda impressive there’s more discussion happening here.
