If we look at only the Blender Development Fund, the list of the corporate patrons include Meta, Google, Nvidia and even Adobe. In general, this is the situation for a lot of FOSS projects. If Anthropic as a Blender patron is bad news, then things were never good in the first place.
In my opinion, whether it’s good or bad, it is a compromise that we rely on.
Shit like this is a reminder to me that a large portion behind some AI products’ hype are people who have no clue what these products even do. I wonder how the world would change, if these jack of all trades who invest waste so much time into collecting ideas to fill up their pockets, instead spent more time on actually understanding the ideas they have chosen and build at least a fundamental knowledge.
But it’s the other way around. The focus point of the artist is the erotic depiction. Can you really blame the artist for making this kind of art with otherwise amusing situations and humor?
That’s the thing with comic strips. They can be self-contained entertainment, but you lose some context nonetheless.
The real alternative is much more simple - static HTML + CSS with manual deployment and manual file transfer. If that’s not enough, you can step-by-step add to it. There certainly are web applications that benefit from the complex defaults. I don’t hate these tools per se. I hate that they are the default. Yet it only makes that most web developers need a job and to get that job they need to use an overkill stack for their personal and community projects.
If you want to hear an upside, just remember that this happens everywhere and at least the modern web dev chaos is mostly built on top of free and open-source tools and not proprietary bullshit.
Yikes! I caught myself making the assumption that this was an “official” mod’s post in response to the existing discussion…

Watch your tongue, OSShole.
Yesterday someone was murdering their dog in public. I almost intervened, but thankfully they told me just in time that they’ve already squared that decision with their conscience. Phew, haha, that was close. Wouldn’t that have been embarrassing, if I pushed my ideology onto somebody who has already squared that decision with their conscience?
But I wouldn’t be surprised if the memes give outsiders the impression that there is a real text editor war.
If this had been enforced consistently, it’s a different story. But at least at my school I was allowed to cite random blog articles, outdated news and anything else I found, as long as it wasn’t Wikipedia.
Once again it seems like I don’t even have an IQ ¯\(ツ)/¯
And how do you keep that opinion to yourself, when a woman asks for your opinion on her makeup, but uses this analogy to pretend that it’s physically impossible for you and any other man to simply dislike make-up?
I can see the issue with spam-bots, regardless of the self-nuking, and how especially this community is targeted. But I wouldn’t consider the accounts marked in this post as spam-bots at all.
If this community or instance considers a couple of posts a day, perhaps specifically from new users, spamming, then as a user I’d expect that rule to be written before actions are taken.
In general, I’m not disputing the actions of the mods and I hate to be the guy who expects something from people who contribute to this platform in their free-time, but for these kind of bans based on suspicions and patterns, I just wish there would at least be more transparent communication.
In that case I have a few doubts:
Michael Jackson likes dogs.
It seems like a lot of people are not even aware of AWS, which leads to an underestimation how badly the world is infected with Amazon.
If there is or if there are gods, they may have filtered my issues on low priority. And after a hard-working day of turning the traffic signal green immediately, they pat themselves and call it a day.
They’re not giving you a string, but an error.

I’m not very good at it, but NetHack catches me every now and then.
