Hmm, yeah, that's quite sticking out yeah..

@sotolf@polymaths.social even if it is done as a joke/ironically, it's still pretty painful.
The release image/animation of puffy riding a bike and the release song are both also really really painful.
It hits really hard.

The image is linked to openbsd.org/80.html, which again links to openbsd.org/images/blowfishonb.

Three eyes transforms into two eyes. Not a good look.

@mjack@bsd.cafe yep, not a good look at all.
even as a joke it's an insult.

@paul that's the name of the dutch author, who goes by 'clanker'. he's a video artist.

@prahou@merveilles.town I tried a little web search before commenting, nothing came up - any chance you have their website address so I can look them up? I will be happy to remove my comments if I am in error here

however, as I said in other comments, even if it's done as a joke it's still a little painful.

@paul sorry, that was a joke. it's obviously ai-generated

@prahou@merveilles.town ah! hahahahaha 🤣
I did have a little doubt about its truth, but I was hoping it was just a real person done as a joke - even though that would hurt

his original name is klaankeer, but he spells it clanker to avoid confusing the english-creole world

@paul it is AI. They're doing that stupid "AI generated anti-AI content" thing. It's stupid and misses the point but at least their hearts are in the right place

@booting0705@tech.lgbt yeah, I thought as much. but honestly we have so many artists that would love to offer their services to provide artwork due to being removed from other projects.
I'm not in fear of them bringing slop in the project so much, I just dislike this particular approach, it tastes bad.
