Isn’t matomo like, literally fire-and-forget?

But also, my main draw from this, is that the simplest solution to analytics is to just not need to profile people (let alone your interlocutors) in the first place. Just like with traffic and transportation problems.

This is one of the problems with relying on AI… it can produce an overwhelming amount of content with errors and inaccuracies throughout. If you don’t review and know the content yourself, you won’t know what it got wrong.

Yep, and this induces anyone who wants to review the resulting slop to need to turn to AI as well to even deal with the amount (or dismiss as a whole).

AI is a viral infection on software development.

Their comments on the bug tracker issue regarding staying on non-AI versions are however rather worrying, and they’ve ignored the issue completely, burying their heads in the sand.

Oh! I might check up how the repo is doing during the weekend, might merit an upgrade once the next major (3.5 if I’m getting my numbers right) comes around.

Don’t sweat it (yet) and just lock it in your package manager. If you are on Debian, the last reasonable versions can be apt get from snapshots.debian.org and then just apt pin / apt mark hold those.

I don’t remember the exact bug but just search for “data loss” and/or “changed behaviour”, either it wil come up or the devs have been whitewashing their inclusion of AI and censoring discussions.

Be wary when you use rsync, to not upgrade past version 3.4.1. Later versions were vibecoded / slopcoded and cause data loss.

People who don’t like codeberg can just go somewhere else

And Codeberg literally makes it easier for them, as you can just download or git clone Forgejo directly from them! When have we ever seen a breakup so amicable.

An important consideration is that the usage of “AI” aka currently using like LLMs is viral, in a worse sense than eg.: the GPL is viral, and it’s completely understandable that some hosters would prefer to avoid the community problems that that causes.

Sure, but that does not make it mandatorily Codeberg’s mission.
