Sorry, then I have no idea what a 'micron enterprise' is. If its a size of company, than a 10 person corporation would be a small/medium business?

Discord gains perpetual copyright to reuse anything you upload to their servers.

All of them do this. Discord, Slack, WebEx, etc etc... You're naïve if you think otherwise.

GIMP blows anyway.

As a millennial parent to teenage girls who eat this shit up, IMO, it is very cringe.

My comment was this thread is not the place for this discussion.

I'm with you OP. I'm surprised by the lack of rationality in this thread.

Yes, a more professional looking solution would benefit all parties, especially if the developer wants supporters.

First impressions matter. If anything about the first impression is polarizing, potential users and supporters of the project will be lost. Your coworkers' reactions have proven that the solution could be marketed better. It's not your job to hard sell your coworkers on furries and .lol domains.

Mojeek.com uses https://altcha.org/

Might be worth a look.

Some comments on here have been ridiculous, someone literally said that I should be fine bringing furriers up at work and got lots of upvotes.
I hope they're trolling and haven't completely lost touch with reality.

Something being perfectly fine and acceptable, doesn't make it okay at work.

If you want serious and professional: Pay for it!

If you want it free, you get the anime girl.

This is an exclusive choice.

Awesome! Now I get it! Thanks a bunch!

I meant the "monthly paid no-logo version" route, but I see you solved the problem talking directly with the dev, nice.

This is brilliant.

Isn't it MIT? Can't you just... Change the image?

Let's expand this thought: we should put anime girls everywhere in order to filter corpo dorks. Making something look "silly" is actually a great ideia to shit on those "serious companies".

Duckduckgo searching it, Botstopper, running Anubis in back and by the same author. I assume the website is theirs

Exactly.

They want to criticize the mascot and, what, replace it with some kinda glyphic anus logo like all the "professional" companies with stupid silicon valley-approved names? LOL what high-ground amirite? 😂

Life is too short to be all serious all the time, love Anubis logo!

Yep, or you can pay for the commercial version that has that feature built in. It's up to you if you want to do the right thing or not.

Yeah but you need to sell that solution to the team before you've swapped the image, and that's not their absolute favourite thing. It only meets 99% of their criteria.

I've been explicitly told not to use any open source for a project. I don't even know what language I'd write it in. We ended up not even quoting for it in the end.

If they pay for something they can hold someone accountable. Not a good excuse, but i don't know any other reason.

OP, anubis is not a catgirl. She is a jackalgirl.

You forget the legal angle. That's really what drives this stuff (and marketing).

This is it.

It's about risk management. If you don't have a vendor to provide measured performance criteria, you have no idea how it will perform.

Businesses are data-centric. Without that data, a product effectively doesn't exist.

The Issue: When I send my coworkers to https://anubis.techaro.lol/docs/admin/botstopper they find the mascot and URL weird.

You've decided without listening to the responses

https://botstopper.net/

Botstopper doesn't have the .lol domain, and doesn't use the anime cat girl splash

It's not even expensive

You don't have to tell your peers it is just a rebadged version of the same website, just say "look I've found another one that does the same thing but without the domain and splashscreen probs you complained about"

The mascot is part of the repellent. It will repeal the tech and finance bros.

And that's why these products are a non-started in the enterprise world.

Data management and security is an entire organization in these places.

You seem to have rediscovered why some open source projects use names like GIMP. 🤣

Sorry, I was simply asking for clarification on what your using those words to mean. Because clearly I missed it.

Say what you will about having an anime girl wrap on your car, but everyone sees you and gives you plenty of space on the road.

I might mock the method, but I can't argue with the results.

I was pointing out that the word "enterprise" is not specific to size or income, and definitions for use will vary wildly.

So it needs to be a separate discussion.

Best advice in this entire thread.

they see a mascot that dont like and then dont use that software because that? how unprofessional

Millenials are cringe.

appeal to tech bros :3 *

This is quite simply solved by using in your presentation a site that already rebrands Anubis.

That's the business model: make it free to use for any purpose, but charge to change the mascot.

Different type of cute is still cute...

I install gimp on my work PC. Anubis isn't weird enough.

It's like homophobia, but whimsyfunphobia

Professionalism = prioritizing getting the job done.

These people are incredibly unprofessional.

what?

This was literally just set up in response to this post. Check out the posts earlier from @Xe about 16 hours before yours.

It's Free Software; if they want to change the branding, they can fork it. I say fuck the haters of .lol and anime catgirls.

Corpos might get to use our work gratis (since that's the only way we can make it libre for everyone), but we don't have to cater to them.

This is the 2nd and last time I will ever recommend Anubis anywhere at work to deal with bots because of how unprofessional, un-serious and weird others perceive it.

tell them its professional enough for kernel.org, qemu.org, the freedesktop gitlab server and several other serious software projects.

but I understand it. I just find tye priorities funny.

what kind of company is this? do you believe your work benefits the public? if yes, have a look at gandalf from nerdvpn, but I guess they'll laugh just the same. if no, you are better off not recommending them effective bot blockers.

What part is confusing?

I don't really care. Grown-ass men should not be incorporating underage-appearing anime catgirls in....anything. Ever. It's weird as shit.

Why do you see an underage girl and immediately make it sexual

.....you do understand the very obvious connection between anime catgirls and porn, right?
