Friendly reminder that if you're designing any kind of personal information form and you decide to:

1. Validate names for "bad words"

As part of moving my repositories off Github to a non-profit and free-software Git forge, Codeberg, I noticed I'd need to set up a CI/CD service myself.

Someone shared a comic I liked, but I noticed that somewhere in the chain, the artists name had been removed, so that stopped me. Reverse image searching proved surprisingly frustrating and involved diving into the cesspit of LinkedIn, but I eventually identified the artist as Irina Blok, but I can't link to the original image because its in Instagram jail, so here's her site.

That was a pain in the ass. Please don't trim credits. It's an asshole move.
