Why don’t you just fork it, remove the logo, an set up a domain yourself?
Alternatively, you could set up a presentation that they are a white labeling service, and the reason they use that domain and mascot is to discourage corporations from using the free tier, since the free tier is meant for personal use, and that their reaction is exactly what Anubis aims for unless a corporation is willing to pay for customized service tailored to them.
That ship may have sailed by now depending on how you dealt with the situation, but that would have been the best case scenario. Advocating for something that you know is good, is also good for your career, because now, even if you do recommend something else, your reputation will still be marked by the fact you recommended Anubis and then folded without explaining well why you recommended Anubis despite the mascot. If you still can, I’d bring up the whole thing with the mascot anyway even if you move on to recommend a different service, to save your own reputation for the future, since you seem to be so focused on your perceived career.
Anyway, you can use Cloudflare. Ideologically I oppose it, but it works and is familiar with the non-tech people. There’s also SilentShield, which is based in Europe and in my opinion works better than Cloudflare’s protection in terms of load times.

When I did wget (curl didn’t work) I received the message that Debian 13 Trixie is not supported.
They seem to only support Debian 10, 11, and 12, along with Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04

It actually did save many lives, because the insurance companies essentially okayed everything for a few weeks. There’s many testimonials on how many people finally got surgeries or medications they’ve been needing.
So yeah, Luigi did literally save a bunch of people at the cost of one asshole.

Well of course Firefox is dying. That’s why it was captured by people who used to work at Meta, Alphabet, and Microslop.

- Comment on Steam Machine 11 months ago:
Well I’m probably wrong then, framework said they couldn’t get good performance and maintain signal integrity with upgradable memory for the Ryzen Max cpus
On the other hand, Framework is run by far right sympathizers and are a few billion short of what Valve’s R&D might have access too.

I literally quoted an article saying how meta and Yandex specifically got through operating system features it wasn’t supposed to.
Anyone who comes across this chain can easily see at this point you’re a bad faith troll now. A bad one at that. This discussion is over. Blocking you now.
- Comment on Samsung phones embedded with 'unremovable' Israeli spyware 1 year ago:
Okay now I know you’re arguing in bad faith. Not only were 2 of the articles about apps on a phone and not external Israeli software, but over half my comment was about on-phone software bypassing permissions.
Goodbye.
- Comment on Samsung phones embedded with 'unremovable' Israeli spyware 1 year ago:
We have evidence that they can do, simply not evidence that they’re doing it currently.
Israeli technology is already used to bypass encryption and security on both Android AND iOS. This despite the documentation showing they have security features that make them safe. Here’s just some news articles talking about it over the years: gizmodo.com/cops-have-less-time-to-break-into-iph…
www.msn.com/en-in/technology/…/ar-AA1Np36m
twoeva.com/2025/…/android-apps-spyware-exposed/
npr.org/…/what-happens-when-law-enforcement-wants…
arstechnica.com/…/meta-and-yandex-are-de-anonymiz…
And despite it being well known by now that they’re able to do this, neither Alphabet nor Apple has been able to (willing to?) stop them.
It would be utterly naive to think that Israel can’t make an app that can ignore being disabled, considering they can make software that can straight up get around literal security features allowing law enforcement to enter locked phones. The last article in particular is about bypassing system rules, quote;
The covert tracking—implemented in the Meta Pixel and Yandex Metrica trackers—allows Meta and Yandex to bypass core security and privacy protections provided by both the Android operating system and browsers that run on it. Android sandboxing, for instance, isolates processes to prevent them from interacting with the OS and any other app installed on the device, cutting off access to sensitive data or privileged system resources. Defenses such as state partitioning and storage partitioning, which are built into all major browsers, store site cookies and other data associated with a website in containers that are unique to every top-level website domain to ensure they’re off-limits for every other site.
Basically, you’d have to e stupid to think that a system saying “permission not allowed” is enough to stop a maliciously intended app, but even more stupid to think Israeli backed technology can’t, considering the existence of tools like Pegasus and the past operations and actions of Mossad, along with so many governments adopting Palantir.
At best, you’re blissfully ignorant of things, at worst you’re part of the problem, to think this pre-installed app can simply be stopped by disabling it. If they seek to spy on you, a disablement isn’t going to stop them. It’s laughable you think it is. That you think it isn’t, really shows how little you actually know or understand the technology.
- Comment on Samsung phones embedded with 'unremovable' Israeli spyware 1 year ago:
You don’t have evidence that Israeli app developers can’t do this either.
It’s almost as of we’re lacking the money, skills, and manpower of a nation or something.
- Comment on Samsung phones embedded with 'unremovable' Israeli spyware 1 year ago:
Sure, you tell yourself that buddy. Israel is happy for you to believe it.
- Comment on Samsung phones embedded with 'unremovable' Israeli spyware 1 year ago:
Yes. It’s not the first time it’s been done either. Then there’s the loopholes as well, like Meta was doing recently.

- Comment on [Help] Swapped nvme from old deck into new deck, now headphones don't work 1 year ago:
Have you tried reinstalling the audio driver?
This is a strange issue. My only guess is that maybe there’s a firmware that’s registering to the original m.2 drive that’s saved elsewhere on the motherboard and it’s glitching out from the drive suddenly being different.
- Comment on DuckStation dev dropping support for Linux 1 year ago:
From the looks of it the version most people use (the one that comes in package managers) was already forked awhile ago from the version the dev did allow to be forked, and the official version hasn’t been used in package managers for awhile, because the second version was under a read only license and distros therefore couldn’t package it.
- Comment on Junk Store 2.0 has released 1 year ago:
I’ve tried Junk Store and like it enough, but I feel it’s not good for the target audience.
- The initial instructions don’t explain easily how to install it, and neither does the ad. I feel like this is crucial for people who both use a Steam Deck and want an easy to use all launcher.
- The payment scheme. I think most of the Linux community (which is used to free software to start with though) would understand a developer getting some money, but I also think most hate subscriptions. You can keep them, but I think many wouldn’t mind a single time payment option that only gets updates up to a x.99 version, with having to pay again for a version 3.0 etc. Especially for this kind of software in particular.
- It’s competing against Heroic Game Launcher.
- The name could be better. Techies will get it, but more casual users might hesitate.
- The AI art used on the website could be better if going that route.
