Even if the images aren’t the kind of sexualized (or downright pornographic) content this implies… having cutesy anime girls pop up when a user loads your site is, at best, wildly unprofessional. (Dare I say “cringe”?) For something as serious and legit as kernel.org to have this, I do think it’s frankly shocking and unacceptable.

- antiloper 1y agoIf anime girls prevent LLM scraper sympathizers from interacting with the kernel, that's a good thing and should be encouraged more!

- consp 1y agoI have a plushy tux at home (about 30cm high). So now I'm in the same league as the people with anime pillows?
- xeonmc 1y agoIt depends. What do you do with the plushy?
- f1refly 1y agoI bet he's keeping it on some shelf because he think it's cute like only a true sicko would do
- nemomarx 1y agoWell, the people with anime plushies would be a better comparison. There's plenty more of those than pillows.
- pests 1y agoWhat’s the difference?
- qualeed 1y agoRight, but, that's different. Penguins are serious and professional.
- xsmasher 1y agoI mean, he's wearing a tuxedo!

- staringback 1y agoThis is the most hilarious thing I have ever read from HN, thank you.
- delecti 1y agoAssuming your quote isn't a joke, I think those links prove the opposite. Not only is it unprofessional, courts have found it impermissible.
- aseipp 1y agoYou'll live.
- voidUpdate 1y agoNoted, I will now add anime girls to my website, so I'm not at risk of being misconstrued as "professional"
