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.

Been using mint for the last few months after messing with raspian on some pis for a few months before that and the only time i had to log i to windows (dual boot) since getting mint was to play the original dungeon keeper in a network game with my son because for some reason the lutris wine/dosbox install wouldnt start a multiplayer match with the windows installed veraion on my sons laptop. Otherwise i have got everything i wanted working on there and its a much more pleasant experience. It feela like my computer again. Something i havent said since the end of windows XP.
