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.

Probably. It tries to run a .sh script on first launch as sudo, but fails. Even if you run it manually, it still didn't seem to fix it. There is a bug report for it somewhere that's been open for 2 years. Valve officially only supports the package version of Steam for SteamVR, not Flatpak, so it's unlikely to get fixed.

What is "sudi"? I assumed you meant sudo at first. 😅

Yeah. My phone keyboard did an oops.
