Codeberg doesn't allow you to use AI with your repos. Even if it is just writing your docs for you.
Radicle is decentralised though!
You say that like it's a bad thing, that's a EXCELLENT THING, get the slop outta open source
That's completely irrational but you do you. Maintaining documentation is one of the best and safest uses for LLMs in coding - devs generally write bad documentation because they don't want to do it.
You say irrational, I say it's rational not to trust the predictive text on steroids that often just makes shit up.
I say irrational because clearly there is a bias here and not an experience being referenced.
So you're saying they never hallucinate? Ever?
I have evidence to the contrary;

Literally just use doxygen. You don't ever need LLMs for docu.
There is zero chance for getting this approved to use in our Enterprise.
We have an existing tool that can do this without assessing another tool.
There is zero chance for a FOSS, offline tool that uses a decades-established formatting and annotation system, but there is 100 dicksuck on AI?
Wow... get your resume ready to migrate.
Correct, if we have something included in a contract we already have there is little reason for us to procure a FOSS tool and maintain a security understanding of said tool and maintain versions.
Organisation of 60K. Job is far too senior, lucrative and actually very enjoyable to consider moving over a puerile thing.
You can always self host forgejo, but yeah, codeberg is an opinionated place, I suspect primarily due to resource constraints. Not a github replacement and not really trying to be.
I do run a local instance but what I do is then replicate certain repos out to Github and Codeberg. (The ones I like to keep public)
Yeah, I don't think I have a codeberg going at the moment because I want to do CC4NC.
There's like some scripts I don't mind people making derived commercial works since they're fucking tiny, but other than that, I don't want people getting rich off my code.
I also have lots of scripts I find handy but would never share. I just need a safe third party to host it.
Radicle is awesome, but having to create a new account for each device is a pain, especially if you want them all to have access to the same private repo.
