Gender-neutral term are never wrong and maybe there was another source for it.

Not sure who has the technical authority to decide the pronouns of a fictional character, commissioned artist or the commissioner.

I'm guessing fathers

You have to pay to remove the catgirl. The free service features the catgirl.

Something exists.

People complain about it.

the joke is that while discussing if a character has neutral or female pronouns, you referred to the character by the neutral pronouns while declaring that the character is female.

I managed to write that whole sentence while avoiding saying "they" or "her". Go me!

What's your basis for saying the vast majority are into it as a kink thing? Because I'm someone who used to feel uneasy about furries for much the same reason you are — but that was when I personally knew few, if any people who were furries.

Over the last few years, my work has meant that I've met more furries than I can count, becoming friends with many of them, and developing a better understanding of what being a furry offers them. It's not a sex thing for the vast majority of furries I have known. This isn't just based on my experience either — I have an artist friend who draws furry porn for a living. Although she is not a furry herself, she exists in close proximity to the furry community so that she can network and get commissions, and she agrees that the people for whom it's a kink thing is a minority

the gatekeepers we didn't know we needed....

Japanese and American animators have been cribbing off each other for nearly a century now

*þe exact same

First of all, it’s a jackal girl.

Second, we wouldn’t need Anubis if it wasn’t for the hoard of scraping bots trying to copy every line of source code they can, to feed into LLM to be ground up and spat out as an attributionless mass of Frankenstein code.

Would they rather it be a soulless corporate logo? A flat two tone rounded corner letter on a square?

Yeah tbh I'd probably call it a transpacific style. It's in the realm where its style is clearly in the tradition resulting from decades of interaction and inspiration between Japanese and North American artists. It's chibi meets post-calarts American

Every single animator has been taking inspiration from everywhere all the time tbf

wþf smh

They said "I've been commissioning an artist" in the Git screenshot above so Xe, the developer, commissioned some artist to create the mascot.

TY

Tbf, a place as serious as that could indeed use a different logo. Anubis absolutely allows for that, the catgirl is just the default.

But then, obviously some find this janky nature of OSS beautiful in its own right

I was a furry before I had words for it, way before I knew anything about sex stuff… I learned the term “furry” around 2002 and was shocked there was a term for it, and quite a few other people who felt the same way I did!

What a janky comment.

I think we collectively agreed FOSS mascots need to be full furry, preferably drawn by that one artist who did the KDE mascots

since when is a magnifying glass typical medical equipment?

Small penis jokes aside, dermatologists use them.

It sucks that you can't browse anywhere without javascript anymore. It used to be that all the open source sites, most news sites, forums running phpbb, even YouTube aside from the actual element all worked without javascript, and as a bonus there would be no ads.

Now, you can't browse anywhere without these challenges. At least this one is noninvasive, but the Cloudflare one and the Google Recaptcha do a ton of fingerprinting to choose whether to let you in.

USPS has a home-rolled one that requires web assembly enabled, or it silently fails with a blank page. There's no non-malicious excuse for that.

If this is the future of web browsing, hopefully more sites use systems like Anubis. But I also hope at least static pages can be viewable as plain html.

I swear Google just doesn't want me using the internet. The other day I went through 20 sets of motorcycles and buses and bicycles and fire hydrants before giving up

The world is dominated by people like this Karen. Making society so fucking dry, boring, and lifeless. The same sort of people who invented corpospeak.

I've gone for the corpo middle ground and my company picture is the Japanese business blahaj in a suit. I've been told, "I don't even look for your name I just look for the shark, it stands out more"

I hate that society is largely driven by people who think that whimsy must die with your childhood

What's wrong with Javascript

USPS has a home-rolled one that requires web assembly enabled, or it silently fails with a blank page

I sadly found out when trying to track the replacement display for my phone from iFixit through the Kobo web browser.

The kind of whimsiless corpo half-person who seems embarrassed to know that anime is a thing, and can't mention it without assuring his audience that he doesn't watch that stuff

The only way to fight multi-billionaire corporations is by being a little controversial opinionated.

anime furry

It's literally a cartoon.

I hope you'll rejoyce to know that I chuckled loudly at your comment.

Furry porn is a thing the same way anime porn is a thing. Just because someone's into anime doesn't mean they're jerkin it to anime all the time

Lol that's funny

"We just accept [thing we just accept]" is a form of complaint

Web browsers have a huge attack surface, and are most people's main exposure to potential exploits. Without javascript, 99% of the attack surface disappears, becuase the attacker no longer has a way to run arbitrary code.

A lot of terminal-based browsers don't do javascript.

If I want to scrape a page, this makes it a pain for both parties. I'm not an AI company, so I can afford the hash tax, but it's still a pain to spin up Firefox from a from cron job instead of wget. And I'm still doing it, Anubis doesn't stop small time scrapers like me who aren't running AI training, and only scrape like one page per day. So now the server has to serve the original page, plus all the Anubis stuff each time my crown job goes off.

She is a girl, but she's not anime. She's a Canadian drawing

It's there to protect the website, not the user. You can afford the extra $0.000002 on your power bill

Tyson Tan, who also did Freedom Planet 2 designs.

Nuh uh

Fun fact: It's based directly on the implementation seen in "DDOS Retarding by Kiwi Farms" which wasn't absolutely the original idea for cryptographic ddos filtering but the first to popularize and seriously rely on it live service.

Also I think it might be a wolf girl because it's called "Anubis" but I dunno. Anyway, I think it would be a lot funnier if everyone called it "DDOS retarding" but that's just me.

The HT in HTTP stands for HyperText, not HyperCode.

Sees harmless picture of anime girl somewhere on the internet

DON'T INVOLVE ME WITH YOUR GROSS BEASTIALITY KINK

yep. this is like somebody putting a giant retro reflective wall in front of their house because the person across from them idles their vehicle with blinding LED headlights every morning for 10 minutes pointed straight in the living room

Yeah that means whoever looks at the picture is supposed to fuck their nearest dog. And soon, we'll all be gay!!! Oh gosh darn me holy knickers we've gotta kill them all now! Get the pitchforks and torches and the houn- OH MY GODDDD

The greybeards somehow dodged gamergate modders and found blahaj members to pass the torch to, I respect that.

A small price for the unlimited government subsidy to pay

And that's the reason he complains. The only association to anime in his mind is porn.

pointless software that I don't know why anyone uses.

Because it evidently reduces AI scraper traffic.

I am convinced they are complaining in the name of big LLM.
