        Like if your decision to take Anthropic patronage is "polite" on any way.

            @Blender i now feel a bit less shitty, that i have installed Blender, but so far did not take the time to really learn to use it.
            I would be so angry now, had i invested my time.

            So deleting it is.

            A shame.

              @aeva @Blender personally, i don't really want them to "explain" their unjustifiable actions, I want them to do their level best to undo them.

                Note: partially reworded the social media announcement so it sounds less tone-deaf about the controversial nature of the membership.

                @Blender
                Really? The wording is the problem? You already got some shitstains on that list like Facebook... oh sorry I meant mEtA. I guess dirty money can taste very good if you just look the other way. On that note, who is next? Lockheed Martin? I bet they have a lot of money to spare

                  @Blender And just like that, you threw all the good will and trust you've been accumulating for decades into a blender.

                  Thanks for nothing.

                    @fsiddi

                    Why take corporate money? Why take THIS corporate money? Why not throw this out to the Blender community at large and include them in this decision BEFORE accepting this money? The complete disregard for user's very valid concerns with regard to AI and especially Anthropic AI money in a beloved FOSS project is insulting in the current world. How could you not foresee the blowback?

                                  @WeirdWriter @Blender - which by the way leaves us with two options: Either nobody gave a single thought to what the kind of people who use Blender would think about a move like this, or they did & said "Fuck the users, we're doing this!"...

                                    1. It's a donation
                                    2. I expected a concerned/negative response like for other corporate memberships in the past, hence we try to make it very clear that this is just a donation. This is quite intense.

                                    @fsiddi that the blood money is ‘a donation’ is not the ethical panacea you seem to think it is.

                                          @fsiddi You understand you are helping them accomplish *something* right?

                                          Anthropic isn’t a neutral party. You understand this, yes?

                                          Stop trying to pretend this is a financial transaction that occurs in a vacuum. We’re not idiots, and neither are you.
