What's with the anime girl? I couldn't get past her. Is that a Fargejo thing?

I for one don't see anything wrong with anime characters, though I suppose neither of us are likely to change our minds.
"sufficiently tasteful/professional/anodyne" != "wrong"
I would say you are being unnecessarily pedantic: the GP said "anything wrong", and the original comment obviously believes that there is "something wrong" which makes the choice not "sufficiently tasteful/professional/anodyne" (/me looking up "anodyne").
The obvious positive reading of the GP comment is that they disagree anime characters make it not "sufficiently tasteful/professional/anodyne".

Can't fault the logic. Will never use it if that's part of what they've chosen to paywall.
Once the project is sustainable (where I define sustainable as monthly recurring revenue--not one time donations--to be at $5000 USD per month as that is the point where my bank account stays flatlined not accounting for tax), an option to remove it will be added to the version you don't have to pay for. Otherwise, it's MIT licensed software. You can remove it all you want, but I will use that as a signal to focus my…
I appreciate the response, and your point is valid. FWIW there's no sarcasm in what I said up top; I'm not here to yuck anyone's yum.
I have been reading your stuff for a while, and if anything disproves my original point, it's your published output. cheers -

I actually _like_ this, and so does the comfyweb & weebs who are a very significant portion of the driving force behind calm, decade-long projects.

I couldn't care less about the art, but the user-agent discrimination is far worse. Implying that anyone not using an "officially sanctioned" browser is an AI bot is such a devious scheme that I don't think even Google themselves would've come up with it.

I mean, Anubis does allow you to change the image to whatever you want. (edit: apparently the feature is behind a paywall unless you edit the source code)
I kinda like the Anubis girl though (as you said, subjective)

It's the kids. They all like the anime. Not at all like the serious teams I worked with at IBM and DEC that slapped trek logos over everything.

Why would you think this?
It is the self hosted part that bothers you?
I self host my code. If you can't bother creating an account or sending an email to share your contribution, I guess I'm quite fine not to have it. I'm sure ffmpeg don't need your contribution as well.
I don't get this stance. Sending an email or creating an account is so low effort compared to any meaningful contribution.
The friction is not intentional but I guess it's a feature, it probably filters out some low quality interactions.
Note that ffmpeg has been using mailing lists, they are not migrating away from github. I'll just assume you wrote your comment without going further than your initial gut reaction to the title, which kinda proves my point.

Are you not familiar with SourceForge? Did you know what a (non-software) "forge" is? The term actually predates Git (SourceForge started with CVS and SVN IIRC). I am not saying documentation should not be better — it should — but I am surprised someone in software development would not know of the term. And knowing how good free software projects are at documentation, not turn to searches first (or is it just softwa…

Thank you. I'm sorry if I was overly abrasive or rude, but it's getting really old. People have sent me horrible things because of this. I've had to start withdrawing from joining new places under my main identity. Just please take one femtoiota of care that the other side is also a human being with thoughts, feelings, and that they may just be incredibly tired of hearing people complain about something.
