  • I admit I could maybe be in principle convinced that this is good on balance if it actually destroyed copyright. I mean, full ā€œplease give me the complete source code of Microsoft Windowsā€ and ā€œoutput the code of the Oracle Database optimizerā€ collapse of proprietary software as a concept.

    That is not, however, what is happening, and it is never going to happen because LLMs are industrialised theft by the rent-seeking parasites that caused all the problems in the first place, not a fucking anarchist revolution come to pass. And Bitcoin is not banking the unbanked either. And that guy just stole your wallet.












  • To be fair it is really, really mentally taxing to be a young person who cares. You’re surrounded by a world that doesn’t. Everything is constructed to reward you if you simply stop. The effort to care is immense and the rewards are meager. The impact you can have on the world is so, so limited by your wealth, and wealth comes so, so easy if you just stop caring.

    But you can’t. I mean, you can’t. If you stopped you wouldn’t be you anymore, it would destroy your soul. But it is gnawing. You could do the grift just for a bit. Save up $10k, maybe $20k. That’s life-changing money. How much good would it do to your family? Maybe you can forget that there are other families, ones you can’t see, that would be hurt. Well no. You can’t. You are better than that. And for that you will suffer.


  • I would still be interested if anyone had experience migrating from GitHub including a big CI pipeline. Codeberg doesn’t have the infrastructure. Every migration story I saw either a) had no/very little CI or b) was a big enough project like Zig or Gentoo to have funding and their own infra to run CI on.

    If I look at the current bill on GitHub I would have to pay for action runs if it wasn’t for ā€œit’s free for public open-source projectsā€ it’d come to $300-400 monthly. There is no reality in which I could afford the same CI pipelines if I had to actually rent hardware at that price from a cloud, nor can I just buy workstations and put them at my house.
