That includes posts generated by LLMs. It doesn’t matter if you “don’t have the time” or “would’ve written the same anyway”, or if “everyone’s doing it geez get with the times”.
For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.

That sounds a little too made up. An application being a 64bit application ordinarily means that it uses 64bit executables and libraries.
Additionally Valve have been on this journey to drop 32bit for a while. Last November they published a 64bit beta for Windows, in December they switched the Windows version to 64bit, in January they dropped support for 32bit Windows.
At the moment I have no reason to believe they didn't compile the Linux version for 64bit architectures as well now. That's why I asked if furry toaster had any evidence. Maybe there is something to change my mind.
