@Blender i now feel a bit less shitty, that i have installed Blender, but so far did not take the time to really learn to use it.
I would be so angry now, had i invested my time.

So deleting it is.

A shame.

@Blender "nobody liked that"

@Blender
Really? The wording is the problem? You already got some shitstains on that list like Facebook... oh sorry I meant mEtA. I guess dirty money can taste very good if you just look the other way. On that note, who is next? Lockheed Martin? I bet they have a lot of money to spare

@Blender And just like that, you threw all the good will and trust you've been accumulating for decades into a blender.

Thanks for nothing.

@fsiddi

Why take corporate money? Why take THIS corporate money? Why not throw this out to the Blender community at large and include them in this decision BEFORE accepting this money? The complete disregard for user's very valid concerns with regard to AI and especially Anthropic AI money in a beloved FOSS project is insulting in the current world. How could you not foresee the blowback?

@Blender Tone-deaf or not, this is the membership nobody working in the creative field should endorse.

@Blender Fork it now and only merge necessary changes =P

[robchapman@ohai.social]

@Blender Reword it how every you like - it's all to late, you laid down with pigs, you will never wash off the smell of shit!

@Blender Congrats on the sponsorship!
