Why are anime catgirls blocking my access to the Linux kernel?

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.

Assuming your quote isn't a joke, I think those links prove the opposite.

Not only is it unprofessional, courts have found it impermissible.

This is the most hilarious thing I have ever read from HN, thank you.

Never mind the content, that is one of the most printer-unfriendly CVs I've ever seen

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

You'd think it's the opposite, look at Joseph Redmon's resume:

Isn't the mascot/logo for the Linux kernel a cartoon penguin?

Right, but, that's different. Penguins are serious and professional.

I have a plushy tux at home (about 30cm high). So now I'm in the same league as the people with anime pillows?

Well, the people with anime plushies would be a better comparison. There's plenty more of those than pillows.

It depends. What do you do with the plushy?

Noted, I will now add anime girls to my website, so I'm not at risk of being misconstrued as "professional"
