No memes/shitposts/low-effort posts, please.
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.

I heard somewhere that by the time the scientific community officially announces life on mars the rest of us will have already concluded that there is life on mars. I feel like this is the same thing.
Because science doesn't work on circumstantial evidence, but hard proof.
The problem is there's a large difference between the 50% the average person needs and the 99.9% the scientific community needs. It's just a different level of proof they're looking for.
I realize that scientific rigor demands more to assert a claim. I was more commenting on mainstream gamer media embracing Linux after it seems like a well proven option.
