Anubis doesn't repeatedly fuck me in the ass for using a VPN and hardened firefox settings.
I'd rather be greeted by the Sphinx and asked to solve a riddle than another captcha.
What happens when we anser the riddle wrong?
That's the Canada maple leaf, not a 'nurse thing'
Also, drawing a red cross as a "nurse thing" would be a violation of the Geneva convention.
Xenia save us, foxgirl xenia
even TF2/Valve developer wiki makes you stare at catgirls.
Something exists.
People complain about it.
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.
He 100% watches "that stuff"
Probably just wanked off to a catgirl. His post was inspired by the post-nut clarity.
And that's the reason he complains. The only association to anime in his mind is porn.
First of all, itβs a jackal girl.
Second, we wouldnβt need Anubis if it wasnβt 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?
I think we collectively agreed FOSS mascots need to be full furry, preferably drawn by that one artist who did the KDE mascots

With that name, I guess he's a JS dev trying to rebrand as a kernel vibecoder.
Not even a cat.
Weebs and furries, man. Weebs and furries. They run the entire digital infrastructure.
Oh look at the types that would call everyone snowflakes a few years ago get seriously offended by an image of a catgirl
I have literally not seen anyone complain about it. As the tweet says "we just accept".
"We just accept [thing we just accept]" is a form of complaint
In this case yes, although it comes off as a very mild complaint
Wait until they find out about Programmer Socks.
Peak internet: solving a captcha while being judged by a catgirl π
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.

Fuck I love how queer FOSS is. When big tech corporations switch there support of LGBT organizations dependent on which party is in power to make a profit, FOSS will maintain there position.
Well, a core of FOSS. Unfortunately, there are many jerkasses within the FOSS community, see the Xlibre developer.
Not cat but obviously a jackal... (seriously... was the name and the 'weighing the soul of your connection'-thing not enough?)
Not anime...
Not a nurse... (that's a maple leaf on the cap and since when is a magnifying glass typical medical equipment?)
Also and much more important:
Not the more annoying (and often failing) Cloudflare screen...
Not another stupid CAPTCHA...
PS: Did version 1.23.1 really change the Canadian flag with a 'CA'... I have found screenshots of versions older than that that did display the flag as do newer ones. So I'm really asking myself if that was an intentional edit to get away with the "nurse" argument.

it's probably an emoji loading failure, that's the "default" for flag when the correct image is not found (if it was a UK flag it would say GB)
Please click on 3000 images of motorcycles to continue.
3000 clicks later: please try again
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
I hope you'll rejoyce to know that I chuckled loudly at your comment.
why would anyone be offended by an adorable cartoon nurse girl w cat ears
it's like a post I read on the unixporn subreddit about people complaining of all the "anime linux rices" like my guy, everyone on this subreddit uses hyprland with the same neon colours, who cares? Have you seen the github profile picture of vaxry? it's FOSS my dude, it's all made by weebs and furries get over it.
As the software is called Anubis, technically, ~~she's~~ they're a jackalgirl
Non binary actually!
Edit: It looks like I'm wrong! See down below. The dev is enby while the mascot appears to be a girl
Look, FOSS comes in two flavors.
Either all the contributor profile pics are flash lit smiling photos of middle aged bearded guys with glasses standing in an office, or they're anime girls.
Oh- well i guess i am not a developer anymore now XD
or creatures :3
I constantly get reminded that Gonzo, even in business attire, is not an acceptable professional avatar to upload to the companys Windows profile. I'm also a contractor so I dgaf.
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"
Who the hell is this pissed off at a cat girl
idk i think its pretty out of place and gets kind of obnoxious seeing specifically anime furry adjacent stuff all the time. If its your thing, its really your thing, if its not your thing its mildly annoying/occasionally weird. Theres some communities where if youre an outsider its better not to engage with the fandom but thats hard when its your job to interact with these people all day.
ok tangent: i used to think furries are mostly innocent nice nerds, but then i found out how the vast majority are into it as a kink or some kind of nasty besti*lity cartoon fetish nasty nasty. I get reallly uncomfy around those dudes that wear the mascot head to walmart or whatever bc i feel like hes gonna jerk off about being a dog later
edit: yeah that sums up my feelings, i feel gross like youre exposing me/involving me in your kink when i see that stuff. not in an extreme way or anything. but the nature of it being wantinf to fck dogs takes it up a notch

Don't care for it myself either tbh
You have to pay to remove the catgirl. The free service features the catgirl.
Lol that's funny
And, it's performing the exact same CPU-cycle wasting calculations as cryptocoin mining!
pointless software that I don't know why anyone uses.
a bot can waste cycles on nothing just as easily as I can
pointless software that I don't know why anyone uses.
Because it evidently reduces AI scraper traffic.
