Kakao in the near future, trying to handle Tachiyomi forks:

I’m assuming this one is because he’s just going to tell them to fuck off.

There’s no legal basis to take it down.

Perhaps Mihon will tell Kakao to fuck off. But if Mihon doesn’t, someone else will. [Plus I wanted an excuse to post a cute kitten .gif]

There’s no legal basis to take it down.

Even when there’s no legal basis, a corporation is better prepared to potentially lose a legal battle than a bunch of amateurs are to potentially win it. It’s a form of corporate trolling - “both of us know that you’d win if you fought, but also that you won’t fight”.

That works fine if you’re a corporation dealing with one group that dares to stand between you and the money. But it fails if used over and over, as eventually one group will say “you want a bloody legal battle mate? We’re focking getting one.”

Quick scanning of the repo, Mihon didn’t host or even mention the extension to read external source. So it basically just an application platform. If Kodi still survive, I think this will too.

The mistake of tachiyomi is putting the extension to read piracy website together with the base application

Tachiyomi is a fancy web browser. This is like suing Google because chrome can be used to access pirated content.

Hilariously, I’d never heard of any of this stuff until this company decided to Streisand the fuck out of themselves.

And the best part is that they went after the container instead of the content, so all they did was make their problem even worse…

Thanks OP, an FYI you can restore a Tachiyomi backup from Mihon to migrate straight across 👍

Can confirm it’s working. Backup from tachiyomi J2k restores successfully in Mihon.

This has been my main issue with Kotatsu and Mangayomi.

During setup there will be a page that asks if you want to create or restore from backups. If you hit “restore”, it’ll ask you to point it to the backups folder inside the Tachiyomi folder. Tachiyomi has backups set up by default, but if it’s disabled you can go to the settings to create a backup

Excellent, have been watching this.

Warning from the release:

Beware of any new fake versions of Mihon or Tachiyomi.
