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.

Is meta the official term for that key? I always called it the super key. Just curious
Only KDE calls it "meta". Everywhere else it's either "super" or "mod4". The left Alt is sometimes called "meta" or "mod1".
It's not just kde, for example the backronym for Emacs is "esc meta alt ctrl shift"
No, I was specifically responding to "only KDE calls it meta."
From what I can see online the key is actually called the super key, but for some reason KDE Plasma calls it Meta on my device
Might be because I’m on a MacBook
