It’s a tough spot, Codeberg has found themselves in and I wish them luck. But beyond that, this is (yet) another reminder that in 2026, if you don’t self host it, the cloud is just someone else computer

    LLMs cause a lot of people to unknowingly violate copyright, and those people then become easy targets for malicious copyright litigation

    I’d buy that. As a mediocre musician, one can even subconsciously ‘sample’ a copyrighted piece. I mean, there are only so many chords and combinations, melodies, etc, so duplicates, and even exact duplicates are bound to happen whether intentional or not. If you upload your track to say SoundCloud on the professional plan with which you intend to generate revenue, the track is heavily scrutinized, and often rejected for this very reason. You actually have to prove it’s OC by various means. They don’t want any pieces parts of any litigation that may even mildly involve them. So, I can see that.
