I feel your pain, pretty much the same here except the heat is at least dry

I hate summer, I dislike shorts and t-shirts being too much clothing for the scorching heat. I also don’t like seeing our dried up husk of a garden despite best attempts to water the damn thing.

I feel like much how OP seems to experience extremely hot summers you get extremely mild ones

I only suggest Linux if they complain about Windows. The only thing gushing about Linux unprompted and unwanted does is sour the waters.

And also double check whether their use case actually works on Linux, all the improvements in recent years are nice but there are still enough edge cases that checking beforehand is a good idea

Nope, it’ll just get worse and worse as LLMs start getting compact enough to get sicced on that Bot blocker. I think eventually the whole system will invert with captchas only proving you are human if you fail them.

It’s what happens when the devs have to spend more time making sure the DRM works than actually improving the UX of the platform. Pirates/Non-DRM users don’t have that problem hence small FOSS projects can outclass big Streaming Services in UX quality.

If Gabe cares he likely already handed leadership over to allow for an interim period where he could step in and Veto any decisions he thinks are crap

For now it should work but it will have an increasing likelihood of breaking with every future Android Update.

Migrating to Mihon now is recommended, one of the devs worked on Tachiyomi and for now the code is almost identical which allows easy migration via a Tachiyomi Backup.

Migrating in the future might be more difficult because incompatibility between Tachiyomi and future versions of Mihon could mean Backups from Tachiyomi cannot be restored by Mihon.

Kakao nuked the official Tachiyomi Extension repo because they “infringe on their copyright”.

The Extension repo does not and never has offered copyrighted material, it merely facilitated access to sites that do within Tachiyomi. Essentially it was a collection of hyper specific Browsers. The repo is gone, the extensions are not (they are now in a different repo provided by a user). Tachiyomi itself allows for 3rd party repos now and everyone is mad at Kakao for making the App less usable.

they smoked their own supply is how. The management team ate the legal departments bs about how they are fighting a righteous cause here.

Nope they are only using API’s from the various hosting sources. That’s what makes this request so blatantly fraudulent. For all intents and purposes Tachiyomi is just a Browser specialized for Manga

Essentially Kakao Entertainment abused DMCA to get all extensions removed despite the Extensions themselves not containing any DMCA material. What allowed this to spiral so out of control (it started out with only Bato.to, Mangadex and Kissmanga being removed) was that the Tachiyomi devs have absolutely 0 spine and 0 will to prevent DMCA abuse. They just folded at the requests immediately without any sort objection or demand to go through GitHub instead (this approach in particular has worked in warding off false DMCA claims because that way the corporations have to somewhat publicly press their illegitimate claim, worked wonders for youtube-dl afaik)

Not surprised in the slightest. Having a doormat DMCA policy and then not even using GitHub as a shield (like youtube-dl for example) is just asking for it. The dev response doesn’t really help so I guess the App is dead. Maybe a fork will pick up the pieces but I have no trust in the main repo devs to do the right thing or work in the users interest.

If the Tachiyomi devs don’t reverse this somehow (which seems unlikely given what I’ve read about past cases of this, custom repo it is I guess) they probably just killed the app. Ubless you are aware of how to get Mangadex and bato back Tachiyomi is now a worse option than even just using your browser again for most people.

Seems like the devs even folded like wet noodles wgen they had (to my knowledge) risk free options of at least attempting to prevent this, such as demanding the dmca to be filed with GitHub (saved youtube-dl for example since their repo got reinstated after Google withdrew their claim)

This sort of non-reaction is just asking for the wolves to tear the project apart, after this any copyright holder with no leg to stand on will file claims agaonst Tachiyomi for whatever sources remain. Because why shouldn’t they? It’s a 100% success rate and they don’t even risk anything (illegally) abusing DMCA with people like this at the helm of the project.

wow what a shitshow. I’m really not well versed in who the tachiyomi devs are but just blindly following copyright notices, then only explaining firther upon prodding (with the result being a seemingly flimsy takedown request) on top of restrict8ng 3rd party addons leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Any of those individually already would bit this leaves a “trying to suck up to corpos” bad tase for me.

Edit: not sure exactly how the extensions get disabled but the two from the mentioned repo still work for me after a force stop of tachiyomi so just being an unofficial extension might not be enough to deactivate it

You have no idea how much easier it is to mod a game when you can look at the source code. GTA V has a thriving modding scene despite its source being unavailable for modders.

iirc Microsoft is doing it, read of a case where a parent sent a picture of his son to the doctor via onedrove share and his entire account got suspended over it.

Also CSAM detection algorithms are known to misfire on occasion (it’s hard to impossible to tell apart a picture of a naked child sent for porn purposes and one not send for that) and people want to avoid any false allegations of that if at all possible.

A house exists, in order to remove ownership of that hous you would need to physically expell the family living there. A story is fictional, it does not exist and removing the copy protection from it does not require actively harming the inheritors of the person who wrote it.

A house is also not so much generational wealth as it is generational ownership. You don’t get active revenue from a single house if ypu are living in it. And generational wealth is pretty fucked up and should not happen.

Besides if an author really wants to make sure their children are taken care of, teach them to continue the story, the family name will ensure they get more sales than anyone else writing stories in the same universe as the original.

they likely blanket banned/filtered the .zip tld due to the rather large security problems it brings. I had the same problem with my instance initially before I explicitly whitelisted lemmy.zip
