@jack Cute mascot work, mostly.
@netbsd After thinking about this for a bit, my best concept is a cute little orange hermit crab that can be drawn with different “shells”, where each shell is the case from some sort of hardware. This captures NetBSD’s “can run on anything” philosophy of portability and gives you a nice way to specialize the mascot for different working groups in the community. To be a little cheeky/use the lore, the default shell could be a toaster

@atraidez @netbsd Yes, well aware (unfortunately), and I'll do the short version: it is a AI bro scam, boosted by a large (and successful) marketing effort. It was defeated on day 1, and now remain with a user base like a cult, especially appreciated from non technical user who are ready to believe in it because it sounds like the only "tech" option. But it doesn't work.
That's sad, I wish something like that would work, be open-source, would run on Linux, and be done by serious peoples.
@davidrevoy @netbsd well fuck. The destruction continues. Thank you for the info update.

@ratfactor @netbsd Aww! How cute!

@atraidez @netbsd Sources: see Cara social network recent news, who had 12 millions of artworks scrapped three time on August by AI dataset. The 'Glaze' on a big part of them (it was a premium built-in service) changed nothing.
Computer effort, electricity for nothing.
The illusion of protection. Sadly.@davidrevoy I recently read a @clarkesworld story about this. Didn't know it might be based on actual technology.

@davidrevoy @netbsd Well, I for one hope this whole David Revoy / NetBSD / concept art thing works out happily for all concerned.

For the folks unacquainted with the @netbsd toaster (it was notably more red than pink), it's quite the piece of NetBSD lore

@netbsd I would draw for you!

@cr1901 We're looking for something a bit cuter.
@netbsd allow me to suggest Berlin comic artist @Fuchskind

I am actually quite confident if you're looking for people with artistic skills then Fedi is a good bet. There are a good few on here, so there is a chance you may find someone. Many are here to get away from the world of AI generated slop that is impacting their very lives.

@netbsd You can find rate sheet at: https://www.deviantart.com/wetdryvac/journal/Commissions-Rates-1121211984 - though I am typically more expensive for business entities.
I work mostly in physical media for my own enjoyment, but the poster styles at the end can be built by hand, and if you've got examples of styles you prefer, I'd be happy to take a look and let you know if it's something I could manage.

@netbsd Tyson Tan maybe, who did mascots for KDE, Krita, LibreOffice (sadly not in use) and many others?

@davidrevoy @netbsd @mboelen That’s awesome! We might need a logo for #bsidesluxembourg2027, if you take commissions or volunteer other things for non profits like us. We just need to lock down a venue first.
