On the contrary: Making things look silly and unprofessional so that Big Serious Corporations With Money will pay thousands of dollars to whitelabel them is an OUTSTANDING solution for preserving software freedom while raising money for hardworking developers.

I'd rather not raise money for "hardworking" developers if their work is spreading DRM on the web. And it's not just "Big Serious Corporations" that don't want to see your furry art.

    I'm not commenting on the value of this project (I wouldn't characterize captchas as DRM, but I see why you have that negative connotation) and I tend to agree with the OP that this is simply wasting energy, but the amount of seething over "anime catgirls" makes me want to write all the docs for my next projects in UwU text and charge for a whimsy-free version.

      Please do, it's better if people make their negative personality traits public so that you can avoid them before wasting your time. It will also be useful to show your hypocrisy when you inevitably complain about someone else doing something that you don't like.

      i love this thread because it the Serious Business Man doesn't realize that purposeful unprofessionalism like anime art, silly uwu :3 catgirls, writing with no capitalization are done specifically to be unpalatable to Serious Business Man—threatening to not interact with people like that is the funniest thing.

      negative signaling works!
