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.

Back when the very first Linux port of Steam was released, there were a couple of Atom CPUs still 32 bit and Valve is relatively slow to change the fundamentals of the Steam client.

IMO one of be bigger mistakes Valve made and also the reason why I switched to the Steam Flatpak early.
