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.

[-] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 hour ago

Remember y'all computers are gay.

I'd rather this than find all of the stoplights in an array of 9, move a puzzle piece into the hole, or even sit through cloudflare (that fails more times than it succeeds). Catgirl nurse any fuckin day!

[-] SpongyAneurysm@feddit.org 34 points 12 hours ago

At least it's not a hypersexualized catgirl.

[-] Jaimesmith@lemmy.world 14 points 10 hours ago

Peak internet: solving a captcha while being judged by a catgirl 😭

[-] Kaligalis@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

Just git clone the repo to analyze it. That is the intended way to get the code for running your natural neural network over it; it should work just fine for artificial neural networks too.

[-] TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.org 74 points 15 hours ago

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.

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 49 points 15 hours ago

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

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 hours ago

It's also people who think that anything out of the ordinary must be dirty and perverted.

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?

[-] Jako302@feddit.org 5 points 10 hours ago

The issue isn't even that they copy it once anymore. That would be a one and done thing.

The biggest problem is that they can't even be arsed to copy anything but the URL. They save their own resources by feeding only the address and metadata into the training model and then letting it loose to collect the datasets for itself again.

That means every new model and every slight tweak is an additional crawler that will spamm your server with requests, all because these lunatics are too cheap to buy their own hdds.

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

[-] conartistpanda@lemmy.world 10 points 15 hours ago

Tyson Tan, who also did Freedom Planet 2 designs.

Anubis has become so common across the internet that I basically never notice it lol

[-] akunohana@piefed.blahaj.zone 11 points 12 hours ago

Just as a backup, nothing more, can somebody PLEASE fork it and have the avatar be a LEGION of furries? 🥹🩵🩷🤍 My programming "skills" are... Hello, world! , so...

[-] Noja@sopuli.xyz 8 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

You can replace it with a userscript, just like someone replaced the Wolfram Aplha logo with its fursona

[-] _donnadie_@feddit.cl 10 points 11 hours ago

AFAIK it hasn't been done because the mascot is placed there as some sort of branding by the creator of Anubis. In its website it's explained that you can change or remove the mascot for a fee if you plan to use it for corporate purposes.

[-] spinning_disk_engineer@lemmy.ca 4 points 9 hours ago

While this is true, it's also worth noting that the original is permissively licensed. You can change it if you want, it's just that most people don't bother. Presumably changing the image would be as simple as replacing the three files in /web/static/img, but maybe that would look weird for some reason.

[-] _donnadie_@feddit.cl 2 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

You're completely right, I guess it's kind of weird to fork it just to replace an image. If it's MIT you can just replace the image and not bother about publishing such simple change, right?

[-] spinning_disk_engineer@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 hours ago

I believe that even if it were GPL licensed you could do that, since you're only running it on your server, not publishing it. Of course, for this very reason, most copylefted server software uses the AGPL, which does require source code of a network service to be made available.

[-] Mangoholic@lemmy.ml 9 points 12 hours ago

Its called evolution, roll with it.

[-] Alcyonaria@piefed.world 12 points 13 hours ago

Xenia save us, foxgirl xenia

[-] Limonene@lemmy.world 25 points 16 hours ago

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.

[-] swelter_spark@reddthat.com 2 points 8 hours ago

Yeah. I just leave pages that use this crap, but it's steadily becoming a larger and larger % of the sites I try to visit each day.

i'd rather be greeted by Anubis than be harassed by CloudFlare.

[-] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 10 points 11 hours ago

Anubis doesn't repeatedly fuck me in the ass for using a VPN and hardened firefox settings.

[-] MousePotatoDoesStuff@lemmy.world 105 points 22 hours ago

I'd rather be greeted by the Sphinx and asked to solve a riddle than another captcha.

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.

[-] poolcritter@pawb.social 6 points 13 hours ago

or creatures :3

If running a development team is like herding cats, of course an self-organized free software team is a "clowder". Autonomy respecting catboys are also welcome.

[-] abbiistabbii@piefed.blahaj.zone 47 points 19 hours ago

Who the hell is this pissed off at a cat girl

[-] hzl@piefed.blahaj.zone 6 points 11 hours ago

Conservatives. They hate everything.

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 13 points 15 hours ago

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

[-] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 28 points 18 hours ago

I'm guessing fathers

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

[-] hzl@piefed.blahaj.zone 7 points 11 hours ago

But that would waste the opportunity to make conservatives feel like the world doesn't revolve around them.

even TF2/Valve developer wiki makes you stare at catgirls.

[-] Successful_Try543@feddit.org 127 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

As the software is called Anubis, technically, ~~she's~~ they're a jackalgirl

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

[-] iByteABit@lemmy.ml 23 points 18 hours ago

Oh look at the types that would call everyone snowflakes a few years ago get seriously offended by an image of a catgirl
