>Before you know it, small groups of highly invested people are wielding the rules and the rule making process against their enemies or competitors.

Now that you mention it, Wikipedia also has a policy against LLM contributions.

I have German background, so that was a genuine concern for me when I started using Codeberg 3 years ago. It's not a great surprise that they end up being more interested in rulemaking around FOSS hosting than in FOSS hosting itself.

I moved my projects to Codeberg 3 years ago because it promoted itself as a host for FOSS, and I was starting to think that GitHub was not going to remain a dependable FOSS host. All of mine are one-man itch-scratching that I am willing to share with others. None so far contain any LLM-assisted work.

A couple weeks ago I froze them, when https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48842611 came up. Not because of the LLM policy as such, but because this thread https://tldr.nettime.org/@tante/116880003584050912 convinced me that Codeberg can not be a dependable FOSS host. It's controlled by non-developers who don't have software development anywhere near the top of their priorities.

Star didn't have cut/copy/paste. Instead it had ‘copy to’ and ‘move to’ operations on the current selection, more like today's drag-and-drop. Some influential people decided that invisible fragile clipboard state was better than a copy/move-in-progress state.

That was 7 hours ago. Now, Google Images not only reads the text but links to that web site.

The assumption is that if you use this alone to try to convey information to a human, a human with a visual disability can't use it. If you also provide a text channel (e.g. `ALT="…"`) then the LLM can use that and doesn't need to read the confusing image.

No, not simultaneously usable as foreground and background colours. For instance, on a light background, the default yellow is a good ‘highlighter’ background. If yellow is reconfigured to be dark enough to be usable as a foreground colour (i.e. brown), it's no longer usable as a background. You can't have both, and you can't assume the user has picked one or the other.

Colour addendum: If the user hasn't configured anything, don't use a colour other than red without checking whether the terminal has a light or dark background. Don't hardcode colours.

Indeed, I did get email over UUCP in '90s, so I read and wrote offline. Worth considering again, if I can find a next hop again.

‘Offline’ now gets used to mean ‘asynchronously’.
