Gonna be honest, was super confused why the god Anubis was suddenly in the software game.
I like the catgirl. Its kind of a confirmation that the website I'm going to is "trustable" or indie/smallweb.
it was funny seeing people lose their shit when it was implemented in freedesktop git repository site
Jackal because anubis and you can actually change it fairly easy without paying the monthly $50 commercial fee, but they ask that you don't.
They're using weaboo branding to hostage enterprise users into funding the project lol

Would you say stores are holding their merchandise hostage to get customers to fund their business?
Why would you remove the catgirl branding though?
Some people on my instance regularly get their knickers in a twist over it.
Their reason: they fear to be seen as furries by people who don't know about anubis and their mascot.
so they're weak is what i'm hearing
Weak, and with money.
So they are just freaks that would hate on furries if everyone around them does too
It does look pretty unprofessional tbh
Iffor my part have the experience when there is a funny mascot or icon which is a traffic cone or a cat girl, then I know the people behind that are professionals. The quality is good and nobody bats and eye about the mascot.
professional
who cares! 'Professionalism' has made the internet worse.
There is a place and time for both.
If my bank used it I would assume
1: They are compromised
2: They are cringe
If you're running a business, whether you need professionalism really depends on what you're doing.
Medical software? Anything aimed at governments as your customers? Billing? Be professional.
Literally a thing aimed at software engineers? Book publisher? Most types of online stores? You can be quirky

"Professionalism" has destroyed the internet, we have tools like that to fight the enshitification that "Professionalism" created.
Fuck professionalism, I want to see parts of the soul of the people who built the internet

For all the places I've encountered that used Anubis, I didn't bat an eye because it fits the vibe. But then again, I am a weeb. But also the image isn't even that egregious. I'd say it's atypical for a cartoon character, but that might be because I swim snorkel in sewers.
You what now
I assume "swimming snorkel in sewers" is a self deprecating way of describing exactly how "weeb" they are.

I'm reminded of an old SMBC skit where a couple reluctantly hires a given plumber...who works as though he's starring in a porno, and demands the occupants watch. They can't really turn him down, since he's the cheapest and most qualified in the area.
That was a funny sketch.

What the hell did I just watch lol
The blog post explaining it is also gold ! https://xeiaso.net/blog/2025/avoiding-becoming-peg-dependency/
That is absolutely brilliant.
They basically use the WinRar approach adapted to Open Source. Anubis is MIT licensed, so there's nothing stopping anyone from replacing the branding themselves.
what?! I have to code?! Or worse, pay someone to do so!
Me mad! me want free stuff, reliable, and quick update when I ask a feature to the person I'm not paying !
Since it's Anubis, shouldn't it be a puppy-girl?
Jackal-girl to be specific
Free as in anime.
