First: Even if true, I don't care.

Second: Post is rich with allegations but light with evidence. Can very well be bullshit.

This is not about preventing anything.

It's on their Terms of Use. If you violate it, they will delete your account.

The only realistic risk here is for vibecoded code to be considered public domain, if too little human input was involved, but public domain is functionally equivalent to a very permissive open source license (e.g. MIT minus attribution).

I don't think that's settled. For the time being it's fair to be on the safe side.

Either way, if it irks you that they chose this stance, you can just not use Codeberg. They are not the only game in town.

I think the idea is that they can point to their terms of service in case of issues.

If a project is found to be violating their terms of service they can terminate the account without much fuss.

I love the abstraction of AI, I feel like the director of an orchestra creating beautiful music in code.

You can host your projects elsewhere you know? Codeberg is not the only public git service available.

They are ideologically motivated towards open source software.

That means that they are ideologically motivated about the open source license being enforceable.

Just because you have ulterior motives, it doesn't mean others do. Codeberg is pretty clear on their stance.

Inclusion of harmful code is no more likely than human-extruded code (probably less actually).

Right now this is unclear, based on personal experience. I am totally fine with using AI tools, but I do review every line of code it spits out.

It's fair to take a safe approach and favor human oversight.

Comes in 4 different themes for your little one:

- Dinosaur

- Princess

- Schutzstaffel

That is not accurate according to the article:

By investing in the data center's operating company with a 20% stake and using the facility under a lease agreement, Meta secured computing resources but also increased its hidden debt.

Meta has a contract guaranteeing investors' losses if the data center becomes unnecessary and the lease is terminated.

The way they are hiding these debts is by having a stake in a data center company. But if shit goes tits up they are contractually liable for 100% of the losses.

It's not the fund that lent the money to the SPV, it is Meta who is offering guarantees here.

To the experienced devs out there; would you take a 15% less offer from a medium sized company for job security?

In a hot job market, no.

In the current job market, yes.

It's one of the main reasons I am sticking to my current employer. I could likely make more money by moving jobs right now ; I still get the odd recruiter reaching out here and there; but I fancy the security when I see dark clouds on the horizon.

And oh boy, those clouds are very dark. Foreboding indeed.

Speaking hypothetically, that is preferable, yes.

And the importance of the justice system working properly is that when it fails constantly and deliberately, many will come to the conclusion that the only option left is murder.

Good call. I feel silly for having engaged.

I thought similarly until I decided to try DeepSeek.

It became an easy decision, even the $200/month by Anthropic sounds like a bad deal.

[Pending evidence that Chinese models are only based on distillation]

Yeah, I know the deal. It's the school of "I am just a concerned citizen" and "I am just noticing things". It gets tiresome super fast.

You could have noticed that the nationalities mentioned in the study (as pointed out in other comments, Serbian and Turkish) are not nationalities where refugees typically come from. Those are very specific.

You could also have considered other things - why are other European countries that had large immigration in recent decades are not seeing the surge in crime such as Sweden. Might it have other causes, such as Swedish approach to guns? Other structural issues?

No, you preferred to just claim some outlandish bullshit (all crime is tied to refugees), then get all touchy and snowflaky about being labeled an ethnonationalist.

You want your argument to be taken seriously, then you should think seriously about the shit you are writing and the consequences of it.

There's a third option - Not going to the US. It is my preferred option.

What?

He wants to spew ethnonationalist bullshit and not be labeled an ethnonationalist?

Does an ethnonationalist even consider it to be an insult?

I was not even insulting him, I was being descriptive. I may or may not think he is a scumbag, but that's beyond the point being made.

That's the curse of democracy, and I don't say this as a way to tarnish it. I prefer living in a democracy anyway.

We can't expect everyone to be informed and educated. I perceive most people as being guided by basic emotions - Mostly their fears.

if you talk about it, you are a nazi.

Part of the problem I perceive on the left was unwillingness, for a long time, to engage with it at all. For a long time in the past decade, and in many ways to this day, the whole immigration discussion was dominated by people that were just annoyed that there's too many brown people walking around nowadays.

And that's how you poison the well of discussion. If you accept immigrants, you should expect people to behave in a certain way. In many ways a visa is a privilege, not a right. But how can you even start this conversation when a mouth breather will come out of his hole branding about claims about all crimes being tied to immigrants?

Honestly, this sort of sucks.

I did read the study.

The problem is that those statistics are doing something sensible. There are uncomfortable statistics related to immigrants, and your point #4, the thing about integration not being properly done creating parallel societies is a real problem that can and should be addressed properly.

But that's not what the person I replied to was doing - "all linked to people that were openly accepted through its refugee programs"

No, the study says that a foreign-born person is "2.5x" more likely to be a "crime suspect". That can mean a lot of things (e.g.: how many of them were actually convicted). Also, they are minority. Presuming all of them are convicted, it's still a minority that has about double the odds of being criminals. The logical consequence is that a lot of Swedish people are criminals if there's an explosion of gang violence.

Maybe the problem is the Swedish approach to guns? I live in a country that has a shitton of immigrants and is not seeing this surge of gun violence.

You see, we can discuss this properly without engaging in ethnonationalist bullshit.

reasonable immigration laws made multiple European cities non-European.

According to your definition of what "non-European" means

You use a very vague language to tie violence in Sweden to immigrants.

Then you link a study without really going much about how the study supports your claims, as if that is evidence of what you suggest.

You are gesturing to one thing - "there's a study on gang violence in Sweden" - and presenting it as evidence of another thing - "immigrants are to blame for gang violence".

So I decided to engage with it and read the damn thing; I suppose you did not (or if you did you are hypocritically linking it hoping no one else does:

One of the most consistent findings in research on societal responses to a collective threat is the tendency for the majority population to seek culpability, often by attributing blame to an outgroup perceived to be associated with the perpetrators (Frey, 2022; Ramirez and Kim, 2024). This process, known as scapegoating, is a psychological coping mechanism in which individuals displace frustration or anxiety onto an entire group (Frey, 2022).

And this, buddy, is precisely what you are doing.

That's about the mobile apps specifically, and it is related to personal data of EU citizens being transferred to servers in China.

It has nothing to do with running open models, especially in hardware within Europe.

Not sure if you noticed, European countries are distancing themselves from the US. They couldn't be pressured to offer logistic support to the US shitshow in Iran, why would they be pressured to help the US in its protectionism of its AI bubble?

western governments

Are you talking about the US, specifically?

Why would other countries, that don't share the same anxiety about China as the US, would be troubled with the this?

A very big portion of that is corporate.

I have a macbook home, the one issued by my employer. My personal laptop runs Linux.

If by West you mean the USA, maybe.

Other countries in the westen hemisphere, probably not.

I remember that more than a year ago, when Anthropic and OpenAI started to hide reasoning steps, some were claiming that Chinese models were done, as they could only distill those US models.

I am very curious for the next batch of Chinese models. I have been using DeepSeek and it is nothing short of excellent.

Ohh I didn't know about it. Finally something to be excited about.

After two years your battery will be almost unusable so genuinely it doesn't matter.

My Nord 2T battery is still perfectly fine after 4 years.

I have no idea what the hell you're talking about.

That's too bad. Had exactly 2 OnePlus devices in the past 8 years.

My current one is a 4 year old Nord 2T still going strong, and in fact K am surprised it still received a recent security update when EOL has been reached.

Time is approaching to switch to a new device. Not sure where to go next. Perhaps I'll wait for the GrapheneOS device.

That's a fair point, and in full self-criticism mode: I suspect I also would not be able to.

What it tells me is not that their work has no value, only that I am not the target audience for their work.
