Right - I see the other topic has been locked / author hasn't returned to follow community rules.

Here's the original topic https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49003386

and a measured (IMHO) response to it. (BTW, do your self a favour and change tabs with that site open :)

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

Hmm, maybe the bits of my post that you didn't quote contain the answer.

First though you need to understand I'm mainly saying I don't buy their justification.

[–] wholookshere@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

No, you made a large assumption that this holds up in court completely, predicated on the idea that anything but would be disastorus.

I don't buy that premise, and neither does codeberg. So again, why should they put money up in that assumption?

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I made three claims and you talked about a single one, and not in a substantive way.

This conversation doesn't seem to be going anywhere interesting or useful, so goodbye.

[–] wholookshere@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

And all 3 hinge on the premise of courts will do 'sane' things, without any kind of justification for them. So yeah, all 3 are moot if you remove that assumption.

So how much money should be risked on that bet?

Jesus Christ, I didn't think I was being subtle.
