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.

Wait. It wasn't fully supported until now? I never had any real problems that couldn't be solved by trying a different Proton version.
I’m surprised by this too. Proton has been mostly problem free
It was not enabled by default
I usually just throw everything at Proton-GE and haven't had a problem yet.
