The #gitea developers concluded after 10 years that it is not able to host its own development and that they depend on #GitHub. https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/1029#issuecomment-4269181192 At the same time, the community fork @forgejo@floss.social is self-hosted for a long time and is also powering the popular @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de and at least 8 other public instances. So this seem to be a good time to migrate if you haven't already. https://forgejo.org

Replying to

@troed@swecyb.com that does not mean they have to release it. Copyleft licenses like GPL forces companies to share their code changes, at least with customers. Which leads to more freedom for users. The goal of Free Software. A practical example would be OpenWrt. @FritzAdalis@infosec.exchange @azonenberg@ioc.exchange @conservancy@social.sfconservancy.org

@dalias@hachyderm.io yes. that's basically how diffusion models work: they start with noise and shape the output step by step to be more like the signal the model has seen before, in the hope it might be correct. but you can never be sure @elilla@transmom.love

@skyfaller it does not look like you will be able to run a computer without LLM generated code soon. especially when you want to do things with it (like playing games on Steam or using Davinci Resolve) what positive impact does it have when you stop using linux and systemd? and in practice, your experience will probably be a lot worse when you use niche and less mature software like BSD and GUIX with Hurd and Shepherd that seem not to bring freedom and empowerment @cwebber @ytvwld @civodul

@SharpCheddarGoblin that's not true. you can train your own model to disprove it. it's easier than ever with e.g. with https://github.com/karpathy/nanochat the german non-profit association https://laion.ai created some crowd-sourced freely licensed datasets and trained models the german government funded research and creation of an european LLM https://opengpt-x.de/en/models/teuken-7b/ but far away from commercial scale and still uses copyrighted texts from the internet @peteriskrisjanis @danirabbit

@yoasif@mastodon.social the chance of people switching is higher the less they have to give up. that's why most computer users don't switch from Windows or macOS (79% from StatCounter shared previously) so i want to improve linux, so they would have to give up less and gain more freedom, independence and privacy for people using linux now and don't like GenAI, i think switching to BSD or GNU HURD would mean giving up a lot. in case of gaming a full hobby don't make your life miserable for no real benefit

@yoasif for choosing an operating system it is way more relevant what it can practically do and you can do more with linux than BSD and the experience is a lot more polished giving that up is not a reasonable choice. that is my point

but do BSDs copy LLM generated code from Linux?

FreeBSD and NetBSD are banning LLM-generated code

https://www.freebsd.org/status/report-2025-04-2025-06/#_freebsd_core_team https://www.netbsd.org/developers/commit-guidelines.html

it's not the LLM-generated code that makes linux great
i don't think your point with the license is a big reason for people choosing Linux over BSD nowadays. it's the human effort that went into it over all the years

my point is, choosing BSD over Linux now would be a step back. even as foundation for our future best OS

@yoasif i don't think your point is relevant for the question if people should use linux especially because the current topic is that more and more open source projects use or allow LLM-generated code and your point is that BSD could do that too (but won't) i switched to linux when it was user-friendly enough for me (by having the Pantheon Desktop) from Mac OS X and Windows, because it is Free Software. I tried FreeBSD once, but the installation failed. i guess you did it for the same reason?

@winniehell does that really make sense when it is open source? i think a single software project has potentially better quality and security compared to many with spread efforts. the challenge is to coordinate the efforts around one project and that is a social problem of course depending on a single person is never good (bus factor)

@yoasif i care about providing people freedom and empower them with free software and i think we can achieve this better by continuing to improve linux, especially it's UX and quality and not give up on it because of some LLM generated code current linux systems are already pretty good. SteamOS will probably be good enough for most gamers, once it's released for PCs and anticheat is solved. For the average PC user, linux probably provides the features, but still has issues that make them leave

@pruef_de mein Hot-Take wäre, dass man die #CDU verbieten müsste, weil sie immer wieder verfassungswiedrige Gesetze beschlossen haben, die vom Bundesverfassungsgericht aufgehoben werden mussten. Wie z.B. die 100% Sanktionen in Hartz 4. Bin ich nur edgy oder hätte das eine Chance? Ich vermute dafür muss mehr passieren. Aber kritisieren sollte man das allemal und anprangern, dass Menschen solche Parteien wählen. Bei der AfD ist die Sache klarer.

@yoasif Linux has a desktop market share of about 3% https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/worldwide it only becomes more interesting to users, because gaming works better thanks to valve, windows 10 is EOL and windows 11 does not work on their computer and is a privacy nightmare. but linux itself seem not particularly interesting to the average computer user, despite all the effort of the free software community it is not reasonable to give up on it. BSD is way more behind as desktop OS
