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

@Blender
Why should artists choose you when you align with the machines that directly steal their work?

[knowprose@mastodon.social]

@keeya @lynndotpy and no one forked then.

You can still fork now.

If it's important enough, open source allows forking.

So... if it's important enough to shout about, but not important enough to fork, alienating people may not be the path.

@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, probably long time deterioration of ethics of another FOSS project like what happened with Mozilla.

@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.
