I agree. Their database or at least a long list what they had should be shared somewhere. Torrents should probably still be in nyaa. If that fails I assume they are in private trackers and in ehwntai or nhentai.

I’ve long had this problem of tracking the multiple manga (and anime) that I’ve been interested in since the 2010s. Back then there was this one reader site called onemanga and I had all my eggs on that. as usual it had to go down somehow (in their case, money) and that scared me into using MyAnimeList (MAL) and mangaupdates (MU) to track everything. On top of that now I add kitsu.io and anilist now.

I think if you’re going to move manually one by one from kotatsu and mihon, might as well add a couple extra steps to those sites to help track as well. I’ll admit though in terms of esoteric items, kitsu is the least, followed by anilist, MAL then MU as the highest chance to include weird stuff. I have to redo my MU list since I somehow got my old account deleted and who knows what weird manga I’ve tracked that got lost.

Eh, I’d say this is different than say scanlators complaining they’re not getting donations, or even sillier, people not paying them when the pay gate their scans and translations. Or scamlators beefing with each other because they accuse of stealing each other or some shit.

It is pointless drama that put a target on the devs though but they’ll pull through

Yeah I jumped the gun on this one tbh. The “better” news is that kotatsu has taken down their repos. It should still work as long as the extensions that get the manga are still updated and working

And the manga sites themselves still being up that is.

The real mihon discord mods have been really diligent to stop any questions asking for source and where to get pirated mamgas. They even dont allow to say official sources too just in case.

But regardless kakao etc wouldn’t care about that and I dont think hobby devs are going to challenge a C&D from a group of companies in court.

This is true. Some still use the last tachiyomi release til today so as long as extensions get updated it should be fine really.

And one of mihon devs did say on reddit they have backups of the source code. It’ll probably will pop up again under another name

Read on reddit that one of the mihon devs do keep backup of the source code so it probably will be revived in another name if they get taken down.

Fingers crossed nothing happens

Kotatsu bundled in the extensions that scrapes manga sites like tachiyomi used to so that’s the biggest sin that they’re targeted by kakao etc.

Give mihon a try.

This has instructions where and how to get the extensions.

Although kotatsu will work for a bit I think it’s best you start looking to migrate. But AFAIK there’s no easy way to migrate unless you use other sites to track your reading progress and read lists.

Yeah. I considered Kotatsu before when Tachiyomi shut down, but stuck with Mihon as it’s a direct successor. Although I use one of the forks though because… panda time.

Never really did tried Kotatsu.

After submitting myself to torture by back reading a bit of their discord’s general chat from the point of the two announcements, it’s a crashout and some pirates’ beef with each other.

So now I wished I reported on Kotatsu’s shutdown only, not this annoying drama.

Better back up your list somehow in case they go down.

But also just my luck as I submitted this post, Antsy updated on their discord lol.

Here’s the post:

Hello @everyone again,

Sorry for acting childish on the whole situation. 1.5 years of frustration bursted out with Kotatsu dying and iiTachiyomi pushing the “Mihon Community” thing. After a good night of sleep and staff being angry with me (love them) I’ve decided to end this whole thing again. I’ve 4 reasonable demands for iiTachiyomi. I won’t escalate it even if they disagree. But I hope the community will hold them accountable if they do.

Windows does this automatically

…what? TIL after all my life using Windows.

at least it took a bit more effort than just a prompt or two.

lucky if your search terms just bring up someone else’s work I suppose lol

“what did students do before smartphones/tablets?”
“what did students do before laptops?”
“what did students do before the internet?”

it’s not at all weird to me that this could have been uttered fully seriously.

Edit: only difference are those other technologies still requires critical thinking and won’t magically write your assignments. Unless plagiarized.

Interesting. I never gotten surveys where I can upload receipts. Could it be a region thing? I’m not in the Western World Countries (in South East Asia), and from what I remember, only gotten “Have you been to” surveys.

also I’m sure that DNS adblocking on my phone also stops the Google Rewards surveys. I haven’t gotten any for months now lol

As long as the RGB is tuneable into any other color (combination) I’m okay with it. I also like white gaming peripherals more lately. I don’t consciously seek gaming esthetics, but if that’s the better value I pick it.

oh and someone else mentioned it’s childish. good. I miss being childish. there’s very little thing I have to do while AdUlTiNg that let’s me being childish. so gaming will be childish for me.

I like being childish. I miss being childish. therefore my gaming everything will be childish. 😇

Oh hey, thanks for the reminder I have to get 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later before going to watch 28 Years Later.

Hey, I’m glad that my Obviously Sprcial Idea of getting another ssd just for linux have legs. I decided this is my plan going forward to learn Linux as daily driver and gaming.

Now there’s only the first step that I have to make.
