Such a useful project as this is struggling with fiscal sustainability. Opensource really needs a method of funding. I mean, there are probably thousands of institutions using this for free. If they had commissioned or paid somebody to implement this same functionality, it would’ve take a full team probably a month and they would’ve charged companies out of their ass for it as well as further development. But Xe Laso is doing this shit for free and most institutional users can’t be bothered enough to pay up to even change the damn “inappropriate anime mascot” 🙄
I seriously hope a license like the Post Open License get developed and used. It’s just disgusting to me that such projects have commercial entities demanding features without having to pay. Fuck them. Fuck you too, Duke University.
enough to pay up to even change the damn “inappropriate anime mascot”
Wait what? LMAO, whos calling it “inappropriate” 😂
Some have complained that the Anubis mascot is ““not appropriate for use on customer facing systems”” and asked for a flag to disable it. Iaso has said that the ability to change or disable branding is an ““enterprise feature””, though they are open to making it a feature if Anubis becomes fiscally sustainable.
Isn’t Anubis and open source project though? Can’t one just remove the mascot image themselves and change it from within the code?
just was using eBird earlier today and got an Anubis screen. I was delightfully surprised!
