Unofficial extensions are still being updated. I've got working bato and everything. Haven't run into issues so far. I'm not sure how this korean company got to them or why, since they're not even hosting the content. But either way, things should be good for now.

Tachiyomi is too good to fail. It's the best manga reader that has ever existed. It's open source. If they need to offload extension support onto less organized entities, then so be it. The community isn't going to disappear.

They just sent a hail mary DCMA directly to the devs that's not even enforceable. If it was, they'd have to go through GitHub with a DCMA request. But the Tachiyomi devs folded for no reason

Easy to say when you’re not the one getting the notice/threat

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

A notice that couldn't be enforced. They could have told Kakao to file their DCMA through GitHub like they're supposed to do. If the DCMA is filed outside that it's not enforceable

Again. It’s easy for you to say when you’re not the one getting the notice.

Maybe the Dev has too much crap to deal with in their life. They are making software for free already. And now they’re expected to add another mental task?

Maybe they just hate confrontation. Or have heard stories of what corporations can do to those that piss then off. Heard lots of stories of the little guy beating a corporation lately?
