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.

MODERATORS
I've had a couple of people suggest they were going to dualboot and I often suggest against it. Logging in and out is more of a deterrent than people realize.
The only instance where I think it would be effective is if you work with MS software, in that case you can get away with having a work OS and a home OS.
I think it's better to have a work computer and home computer. Not just for ease of switching to Linux, but also because doing anything personal on your work computer is a security risk.
