I thought Big Tech loved burning money.

Yeah like whether it’s stolen or not. Whether it’s a copyright violation. Oh wait.

Tell them then, not me. I’m not affiliated with Codeberg. I only read the change set.

If you have more specific questions about Codeberg’s decision, you should ask them, not me.

Let’s be real here, the concerns about what the copyright is of code that’s produced by AI is still sort of in the air, especially for a site that wants to host content from across the globe. Codeberg picking its battles and not wanting to deal with that for now seems reasonable.

Such projects having an unclear copyright status (see requirements § 2 (1) 1 and § 2 (1) 3) and furthermore have little safeguards to ensure that they do not include harmful code (c.f. § 2 (1) 5).

Did you not read the actual change?

7. You must not share projects that mostly consist of code written by “generative AI”-tools (including services such as Claude, OpenAI Codex). Such projects having an unclear copyright status (see requirements § 2 (1) 1 and § 2 (1) 3) and furthermore have little safeguards to ensure that they do not include harmful code (c.f. § 2 (1) 5).

I can’t see the future, but this all doesn’t sound like an ideological “vibe code is bad, we don’t allow it” but a “the copyright of vibe coded content is unclear across jurisdictions, we don’t allow it.” So I don’t think it’s something they’ll say “hey, this looks vibe coded, deleted.” Many projects self proclaim they’re vibe coded. Many projects list every commit that is vibe coded. It seems likely they’ll go after those projects instead.

But yes, I’m not an oracle, and Codeberg could always heel turn and turn this into a witch hunt, but I don’t think they’ve earned that reputation.

There is not a magic solution that is perfect in every scenario. Air conditioners decrease humidity as a side effect, though.

Best I can do is clear cutting to build a neighborhood and then an HOA that won’t let you plant trees.

Extremely good insulation, possibly building things underground, and then air conditioning. You said people with health issues. If you need to make sure something is a a specific temperature because of health concerns, you need air conditioning to be certain. Really making sure you’ve got incredible insulation is really all you can do. Tall trees that block the sun around the building can help. Using blinds and curtains as well instead of letting the sun in.

7. You must not share projects that mostly consist of code written by “generative AI”-tools (including services such as Claude, OpenAI Codex). Such projects having an unclear copyright status (see requirements § 2 (1) 1 and § 2 (1) 3) and furthermore have little safeguards to ensure that they do not include harmful code (c.f. § 2 (1) 5).

That feels like a reasonable middle ground. Allow some things with some AI written code, but don’t allow stuff that is a majority of AI code.

I don’t know if I’d really call these solar punk, but here’s a few things I’ve done.

My yard is clover, not grass. I barely mow it. I know it so little the city “politely” informs me when it’s time. (Pro tip: Don’t use red clover. Use white clover.) I also leave my leaves in place, the most I do is mow them to chop 'em up. The bees love the flowers. The lightning bugs seem to love it as well, I’ve noticed more. I attribute this to the leaves.

I replaced my water heater last year because it broke. It was electric. My new one is a heat pump. It’s cheaper to run. Plus, as a free side effect, it cools off and dehumidifies the basement. I’m not sure how much cooling and dehumidifying it really accomplishes, but I generally have a dehumidifier running down there anyways to help combat humidity.

Dropbox is pretty cool. (Don’t mistake this as some weird astroturfing.) I remember hearing about their custom hardware on an episode of se-radio. Very fascinating stuff.
