Kakao (hopefully) won't get to know the real names of the developers, which will prevent them from suing the devs personally.

They could try to DMCA claim the repo, but Tachiyomi is completely legal, so hopefully Github won't take it down. Github previously helped youtube-dl after they got DMCA notices.

As far as we know, TachiyomiSY has the same relationship with Mihon as it did with Tachiyomi previously. Maybe it'll change since SY's dev is also said to work on Mihon, but we'll see.

At the moment Mihon is the same as Tachiyomi with changed branding.

Thank you for pointing out my misinformation. I've edited the comment accordingly.

I can delete most of the 20 GB of video, as it's also uploaded to my photo gallery (Immich). Maybe another 5GB of apps that aren't necessary, which often need a few hundred MB (Paypal 0,5GB).

Anyway, an SD card would solve those issues. Hopefully 256GB will finally be enough storage.

A long time Tachiyomi developer made the commits making branding changes to Mihon, so they might work together. But as they didn't fork TachiyomiSY, its dev might continue work on it too.

After phone storage got beyond 32GB, I thought I won't need a microSD slot anymore. I was wrong and my 128GB are full again. Downloading shows and music in high quality needs quite a bit of storage, not to mention videos. As if to make matters worse, the OS takes up more storage than my first two phones had at all.

~~If anyone's wondering why Mihon looks slightly different than Tachiyomi, the reason is this is a fork of TachiyomiSY, which has some changes/features over Tachiyomi (e.g. a predicted next chapter release date).~~

What I wrote is all wrong. I've just looked through the commit history and Mihon is a fork of Tachiyomi and currently it doesn't have any changes besides branding and being Android 8+.

I don't know why I believed otherwise, but it might be F-Droids 3 months old Tachiyomi build, which lacked many features compared to up-to-date TachiyomiSY.

Avatar: TLA was what actually got me into anime, which then got me into manga. But yes, manga/anime are specifically japanese comics/animated shows. While ATLA borrows quite a bit (imo) from japanese styles, it's distinctly more like western cartoons.

ff2mpv adds a button in the addon bar and in the context menu to open a video in mpv. It's awesome and removes the manual copy and pasting of the url.

Sadly it works for YouTube. Yesterday I noticed a friend disabled uBlock Origin on YouTube. They don't care that there's workarounds, they'd rather watch 2 min ads than read up about something they are not interested in.

Whether the site’s operator made $35 million from advertising remains a question, [...]

I'm really curious, where this much money would come from. Advertising on these sites isn't as lucrative and I won't believe that they made on average 0.5$ from each visitor. Don't people use ad blocking?

Hopefully their personal information won't be found out by those lawyers, or they could also be threatened into stopping development. It's sad to see how companies are bullying volunteers into stopping legal projects.

Edit: SLAPP suits are similar to this, where companies file lawsuits while knowing they'd lose, if the defendent had the time, money and stress tolerance to win the lawsuit. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_lawsuit_against_public_participation
