Tachiyomi will no longer be actively developed. It may continue to work for you for the foreseeable future but there will be no support for it nor the official extensions.
R.I.P tachiyomi, I have used it for years. Kind of sad to see it go. Are the forks also abandoning development ? I have been using the TachiJ2k fork for the past 3 years or so.
TachiyomiSY will still be actively developed. No idea about J2K but I read somewhere that the dev will implement third party repo support sometime next week so I guess that’s a sign.
more options are definitely good if the developers are different, i hope the devs aren’t burner out by developing two applications serving the same purpose.
I use SY and I get the sense that Bobby is more of a fast and loose type while the Mihon dev is focused more on polish. My assumptions are based on the unpolished nature of SY features and the Mihon dev saying “some of us liked plain Tachiyomi” [sic].
I just downloaded TachiyomiSY before a week and I liked how it was better than TachiyomiSY in feature wise. I think Bobby is a dev who focuses more on features aspect. So if the other dev focuses on user interface, I hope it might be a good pair.
There’s already dozens of forks. There was before all of this even started. Sad to see it go, but the app itself and how it functions will pretty well certainly go on. Tachiyomi isn’t even an app that needs routine updates, it’s the extensions that do. So existing setups will probably work indefinitely so long as extensions continue getting updates…
So, sounds very “oh fuck” but for end users probably means literally nothing changes. Unless something breaks the functionality of the app, which really just means the reader and library and everything, it doesn’t need active maintenance. Bugs might crop up occasionally, but everything looks fine as of now.
For now, this is true. But those forks get updates from Tachiyomi (changes in Android / security fixes / feature updates / bug fixes) so they need a new base.
It seems important to follow the Mihon rebrand. Some forks, SY and AZ, announced they will rebase off Mihon (it’s in the #faq of the Mihon discord server https://discord.gg/mihon)
It kind of looks like his point was the dozens of forks and that even if the devs get harassed into stopping, there are alternatives sources for the same app.
No no, throw drugs in their HQ then go after them. The precedent set is that the container is the problem, not the source of the illegal things itself.
Ah yes, this will definitely make me buy Manga and Comics now. Good job Kakao whatstheirname company. Stuff like this definitely does not radicalize me further. Pinky promise.
I mean the eff can only do so much to defend people who didn’t even fucking bother in the slightest to defend themselves and just rolled over at every turn
While many will be understandably angry or disappointed in our lack of backbone or perceived selfishness
I’m angry and disappointed, but it is not because awesome people stop dedicating their free time to provide a free product, it’s because some money hungry corporation decided to bully less powerful individuals who didn’t even do anything wrong.
And it’s not the first time that this company did fucked up stuff…
The Streisand effect of this all is great. I can’t be the only one that found out about this app (and the repos) because of the stupid law suit right? Amazing that they went after the container instead of the contents.
Can’t wait for Glad or Rubbermaid to be C&D’d when the cops find contraband in one of their bags/bins.

I guess I will be shifting to kotatsu soon.

SY devs have announced to develop a new app that won’t be just a tachiyomi fork.
Yeah Mihon is the successor to Tachyomi but TachyomiSY’s dev also clarified that he’ll still be working on SY as its own thing.
I don’t know why they want to continue working on two different things when one clearly tries to be a successor.
No idea as well but more options is always good

I was wondering what does this have to do with Polish people 😭

JFC why? Fuck
Because even though it’s obviously perfect legal, getting harassed by corporations over a hobby project is a pain in the ass.
Greedy, this is literally
You buy digital items but you don’t own them
You’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy
how wll this affect aniyomi?
in no way if the dev can still work on aniyomi
Maybe one of the forks will take off
Likely. If not, there’s always Dantotsu.
Fuckingcapitalists
RIP Tachiyomi, time to try out Kotatsu

This is obviously sad and frustrating, but

Tbf, what Kakao is doing isn’t legal

DDOS is terribly illegal.
Thabk you but no.
You can do it if you want to. I wouldnt advocate the action though.

Sailors do not enable abuse nor condone getting yourself locked up.
That’s stupid 101.
Copyright vs federal jurisdiction.
I wonder for what you get a slap on the wrist and a fine and for what prison/jail time when participating.
What we do here with piracy for mostly personal gain is petty at best. That comment excludes the uploaders of such content.

What even is Tachiyomi?
Edit: manga reading app, it also lets you follow sources and tells you when new episodes are published.
Perhaps one of the forks will take over.
This is how FOSS dies.
Where the living fuck are the EFF’s team of lawyers?
I know they generally focus on US cases, but god damn, you’d think the egregiousness of this would get their asses involved.
I mean the eff can only do so much to defend people who didn’t even fucking bother in the slightest to defend themselves and just rolled over at every turn
Was the case issued in Japan? From what I’ve read the legal system there is famously one sided, criminal cases have a 99.8% conviction rate.
Kakao is Korean, but no cases have been issued yet right? Only threats
removed by mod
For sure. I just mentioned it since the person I’m replying seemed to say a case already existed.
IANAL but since they used the word “threatened” instead of “I’m getting sued”, no case is being filed.
Pretty sure that if they were actually getting sued they’d already be radio silent.
I feel like eff has bigger cases then a manga app dying
I’m angry and disappointed, but it is not because awesome people stop dedicating their free time to provide a free product, it’s because some money hungry corporation decided to bully less powerful individuals who didn’t even do anything wrong.
And it’s not the first time that this company did fucked up stuff…

Here’s to hoping j2k stays actively developed. Unlikely, as j2 himself already had pretty low drive for it already. (｡╯︵╰｡)
