This is just gonna be a Streisand Effect situation. Now I know about this app and it sounds pretty great.

I sincerely hope so, just to imagine the shocked faces at the company that made legal threats to Tachiyomi, when it itself has no content. I mean how stupid can you be

Imagine if companies could just sue and take down products just because they could theoretically be used to view pirated content (not to pirate, but to view it).

Well, it is essentially what they're doing already with DRM.

Try watching a full resolution stream on any paid streaming service using "bad" software, like Firefox or Linux.

Why stop there? You could use hardware to run this software.

Ban screens.

I never saw it that way, but you're right. What a bunch of hypocrites.

web browsers

Hasn't something like this happened already? Not sure what platform it was (Android TV maybe?), but I vaguely remember something like that.

First I'm hearing of this drama. Guess I'll hold off on updating until the dust settles. Tachiyoma and Komga are amazing - glad to see they're not going anywhere.

Update when you like The change is in live and does not effect installed extensions. It just makes adding sources harder.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I lost some downloaded content and some extensions are broken (the files exist but the app fails to find them). It will probably work again soon.
