    professional

    who cares! ‘Professionalism’ has made the internet worse.

        The author thinks the same, hence why people can pay them 50 a month to get a non-anime version.

          I approve of this business model. Make them pay extra for professionalism so it stops being the default. “You could be saving money if you just accepted cat girls” will haunt their dreams every night

          Correct, but the places where it is SUCK. So if they see them as bound together, they are also the places to abuse FOSS, so this is a perfect way to utilize their own shittiness to make them behave ethically.

        I won’t bemoan that, I just think it’s weird people need to get rid of it in the first place.

      If you’re running a business, whether you need professionalism really depends on what you’re doing.

      Medical software? Anything aimed at governments as your customers? Billing? Be professional.

      Literally a thing aimed at software engineers? Book publisher? Most types of online stores? You can be quirky

        The things that need professionalism seem like things that could pay for the non-branded version, though?

          Absolutely. I was just replying to the bit that professional is boring. It is, but sometimes it’s necessary because it’s what your target audience expects

      There is a place and time for both.

      If my bank used it I would assume
      1: They are compromised
      2: They are cringe
