No memes/shitposts/low-effort posts, please.

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.

same or less memory than the previous generation

means less room for bloatware

The apps are going to be vibecoded and consume even more memory.

Not while all of the memory is going to the datacenters. Commercial applications may be built on some Raizen 407000, which sucks, but hobbyist projects will all be made on regular computer, during the shortage. Unfortunately, Linux isn't really a hobbyist project... Was thinking NetBSD.
