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.

Linux gamers: Do you ever occasionally shut down your PC? (lemmy.ca)

Every night, I put my computer to sleep. But should I be shutting it down every now and then? For example, maybe once a week or once a month?

Just curious to see this question answered from a Linux gamers' perspective.

Only when I update. My PC plays brown noise to my DAC that's connected to an amp that's connected to my speakers that I need to sleep.
