The blog post explaining it is also gold ! https://xeiaso.net/blog/2025/avoiding-becoming-peg-dependency/
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.It does look pretty unprofessional tbh
professional
who cares! ‘Professionalism’ has made the internet worse.
Sure but on the other hand it’s nice to have money in order not to starve.
The author thinks the same, hence why people can pay them 50 a month to get a non-anime version.
I approve of this business model. Make them pay extra for professionalism so it stops being the default. “You could be saving money if you just accepted cat girls” will haunt their dreams every night
It’s a cat girl? I thought it was a Jackal. It’s named Anubis.
Talking about an opensource software some web developers use to verify the humanity of their traffic.
Instead of getting a captcha or a cloudflare verification, you see an anime catgirl nurse for a couple seconds while it runs a simple check on your browser metadata to filter out the majority of bot traffic
I looked it up she’s definitely a dog / Jackal girl
I don’t think the people hating on it are going to look into it in that much detail…
I mean it’s MIT licensed which means you can just remove the character and the branding if you want. It’s kinda a dick move to do that but that’s what open source is all about.
