Neither Forgejo nor Codeberg are owned by _any_ company. Very important distinction.

And all the text is grey-on-grey and basically unreadable. Not to even mention accessibility.

That's why any repo with a README ridden with emojis (and other telltale signs) is just an instant nope nowadays.
(One of the only good things about GH is, that if you block some account, it will tell you if that account contributed to some repo at the top. Makes it very easy to filter out slopcode.)

Yeah. Unfortunately, just goes to show how many people think Git = Github.

I think that they felt the need to offer such a service says everything, basically admitting that LLMs just plagiarize and violate licenses.

Oh yeah, but LLMs ingesting and spitting them out is not piracy. Right.

No? Licenses still apply even if you _don't_ get sued?

Not sure why you are getting downvoted, given that the original site is such a jarringly user-hostile mess.

Fortunately, at least in Europe, there are definitely companies still around who either don't force the usage of slop machines or even have a culture of rejecting them completely (yes, that's a thing, and I'm glad to be working at such a company).
So no, this isn't universally true.

Why are you using LLMs then, if you enjoy the actual process of thinking about a problem and solving it by writing code?
It's definitely a more enjoyable world this way.

Except that you are doing anything else but coding here. Coding involves writing code, which isn't actually done by the author here.

Not really anymore. Wine, Proton, VK3D, .. have improved so much that the native gaming experience on Linux is more than viable. The Steam Deck might be the best example of that.
I'm very happy that the last few years I didn't have to keep a horrid Windows install around, just to play a game every now and then.
