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.

Yup. Although I've become a fan of things like GIMP, you do need to learn a new software and depending on who you are, it might take a while. Lucky (?) for me, I was too poor to afford it for school and since it was for official assignments, I didn't want to pirate.
That said, Microsoft integration is more a curse than a blessing at this point. Privacy and junk aside, it's dumped hundreds of GB of files onto my tiny SSD C: since it kept changing settings and ignoring my preferences. That's why Microsoft messing things up is converting people who even prefer integration, when there's an option to anyway!
