That says something about the chosen picture, doesn't it? Probably that it's not well liked. It certainly isn't neutral, while the Cloudfare page is.

- thrance 1y agoAnubis was originally an open source project built for a personnal blog. It gained traction but the anime girl remained so that people are reminded of the nature of the project. Comparing it with Cloudflare is truly absurd. That said, a paid version is available with guard page customization.
- drakythe 1y agoYou know, you say that, and while I understand where you're coming from I was browsing the git repo when github had a slight error and I was greeted with an angry pink unicorn. If Github can be fun like that, Anubis can too, I think.

- tgv 1y agoI don't think you want to suggest that everyone must like it?
- MintPaw 1y agoYeah, but do people like that? It feels pretty patronizing to me in a similar way. Like "Weee! So cute that our website is broken, good luck doing your job! <3" Reminds me of the old uwu error message meme.
- jijijijij 1y ago> patronizing I think it's reasonable and fair, and something you are expected to tolerate in a free world. In fact, I think it's rather unusual to take this benign and inconsequential thing as personal as you do.
- lsh0 1y agoNot at all. I can't stand it either. It's definitely patronising and infantile. I tolerate the silliness, grit my teeth and move on but it wears away at my patience.
- troyvit 1y agoNothing says, "Change out the logo for something that doesn't make my clients tingle in an uncomfortable way" like the MIT license.
- notpushkin 1y agoKeep in mind that the author explicitly asks you not to do this, and offers a paid white label version. You can still do it yourself, but maybe you shouldn’t.
- troyvit 1y agoThat's a good point and I didn't know that.
- integralid 1y agoI wonder why the anime girl is received so badly. Is it because it's seen as childish? Is it bad because it confuses people (i.e. don't do this because other don't do this)? Thinking about it logically, putting some "serious" banner there would just make everything a bit more grey and boring and would make no functional difference. So why is it disliked so much?
- 20after4 1y agoBecause the world is full of haters? I personally find anime kind of cringe but that's just a matter of taste.
- deanishe 1y agoThe GitHub unicorn doesn't look as if it came out of a furry dev's wank bank.
- troyvit 1y agoWho are you to judge what's a wank bank and what's not? And what wank bank do you go to? The logo doesn't even have breasts.
