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.

Does this mean I won't need the multilib Arch repo anymore? Or at-least after it has matured enough to not need 32bit stuff?

I'm also on Arch btw, btw. 😆

This was basically one of the big reasons I opted to install Steam via Flatpak.

[–] miadidi@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I tend to avoid Flatpaks if the package is directly available in official Repos or even in an unofficial repo. If I have to download it from the AUR then I will check if a Flatpak version exists or not and install it from there.

Yeah. I use Flatpak for all the commerical/corporate stuff as well, if available. Teams, Steam, Slack, Discord, Spotify, stuff like that.

If you use Proton with WOW64, then yes. Or maybe no. I don't know what do you have installed on your machine. 32bit Linux apps were a thing.
