Welcome Anthropic as a Corporate Patron sponsor of the Blender Foundation’s Development Fund!

@Blender Well, good job joining the dark side I guess?

Open source and LLM-slop thieves are not compatible.

Blood money.

[eobet@oldbytes.space]

@fsiddi @greg white washing blood money is what's in it for them. Also, in the long term a slow deterioration of ethics of another FOSS project like what happened with Mozilla.

[seanking@woem.men]

@Blender@mastodon.social We don't want you to reword your announcement; we want you to reject and end Anthropic's sponsorship.

[kosure@mas.to]

@Blender Babe, it's not the wording that's tone-deaf.

[mjj@mstdn.dk]

@Blender Condolences.

[wachoperro@rebel.ar]

@Blender
Fuck the fash, fuck this shit. Thanks for your attention

[unkx@icosahedron.website]

@Blender AI;DR

Glad to know you’re cool with pedophilia, IP theft, genocide and fascism.

We are not.

Fuck you you fucking sad fucks.

[darkathena@beige.party]

@Blender omg. No.

[nazokiyoubinbou@urusai.social]

@Blender Protip for everyone on *nix. Most package managers have a "mask" option which can prevent further updates from happening automatically. I see that Flatpak has one as well.

Best to go ahead and mask now while waiting for the forks to stabilize.

For Windows I believe PortableApps has a portable version of Blender if I remember correctly. (It has been a while.)

[aaron_devries@mastodon.social]

@Blender what the fuck? Why would you do this? Do you actively hate your user base and decided you wanted to partner with someone that will cost you a lot of support and good will?

Like, did no one think this would look horrible? Are you all that out of touch?

[lambdacalculus@masto.hackers.town]

@Blender WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU IDIOTS!?!?

[d_prieto@peoplemaking.games]

@Blender not a good idea

[jackemled@furry.engineer]

@Blender Slop money! I had better expectations of Blender.

[weirdwriter@caneandable.social]

The frustrating thing is you know people had meetings about this and they were all yeah let's do this. Ugh! @jwcph @Blender

[damonwakes@mastodon.sdf.org]

@Blender The new version eliminates a "Welcome." I think we were all hoping you would eliminate the sponsor.

[tuxwise@infosec.exchange]

@Blender

Blood money, made by proudly supporting maiming and killing.

Removed Blender from our list of recommended FLOSS.

[pierrodu21@mstdn.social]

@Blender eeewwwww 🤮

[bitchboss@marcella.masto.host]

@Blender

When money talks, bullshit walks.
Lemme bullshit'n elsewhere now.
