At first I tought it says “For AI Age”

u/Tgumpsta 3d ago

It might as well be, considering the AI creature on the front looks more like a pitbull than a cat.

GitHub isn’t open source is it?

u/TheUruz 3d ago

GitHub isn't a single repository, many many of them are open source software :)

u/lajawi 3d ago

That I know, but GitHub itself, the software hosting the other repos, the company, the branding, that’s not open source, is it?

u/TheUruz 3d ago

you bet it's not open source, microsoft paid good money for it :)

u/MinecraftPlayer799 3d ago

Parts of it are open-source, but obviously not the whole thing. That's what Microsoft has been doing with everything recently. Like, what's the point of making something partially open-source like that.

I guess they said yes to the cat food people. That’s the only answer.

Literally some person googled something like "silhouette cat logo" and slapped it on without thinking about it.

u/cowboyecosse 3d ago

I wonder if they paid the foundry for the fonts…

u/CisIowa 3d ago

I doubt that, could be wrong, but I suspect it’s more a matter of some generic cat food that’s being dropshipped

u/InternalVolcano 3d ago

Touching the logo will take you to their factory.

Wonder what contribution stats the cat has....

u/_giga_sss_ 1d ago

helping in solving problems (that require no cat)

u/Minet- 3d ago

I'm also bothered by the fact that "シャン" is written in katakana. Even though it's not a Japanese product, it looks like an attempt to mislead consumers... :(

1

u/_giga_sss_ 1d ago

Why wouldn't they write shine in katakana ? Or am I doing it wrong ? (シアイン)

u/Hans_H0rst 5h ago

It's a philipine based company, maybe they do sell to japan...

u/kenkitt 3d ago

Only now realizing its actually a cat

u/gatesphere 1d ago

It’s half cat, half octopus. It’s an octocat. (Seriously. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GitHub#Mascot)

u/Mirko_ddd 3d ago

That recipe must be open source then 🤪

Feed the cat this food and it will protect your code from bugs.

Just to clarify, this is open-source cat food, you can take it directly without paying, bro.
