  • oh yeah, I heard about the already forked projects before, certainly awesome that people already have that option. I do use Aniyomi, and it’s pretty damn good.

    For some reason I’ve never felt like I needed extra features that the main project didn’t have, so I’ve never looked out for forks. But looking at some of the forks right now they seem pretty good as well and do have features that would be super useful to me. Certainly will try it out.

    FOSS is so amazing.


  • i’m so fucking sad that a shitty¹ company was able to bully a 100% legal piece of FOSS to shut down.

    It is THE best app for reading manga, and it single-handedly started my love and (healthy) addiction to reading manga lol. It’s also one of the best examples on how a FOSS model is superior to any competitive proprietary one.

    I hope so much luck to the devs and every contributor. Their work through all these years is immeasurable. Makes me regret a little for not trying to contribute to the community with some code at a time I was wanting to. Thanks for all the hours of fun reading manga. I’m sure at this very moment people are already organizing a fork to live on Tachiyomi’s legacy, as is the spirit of FOSS.








  • Torch Browser is not open source, and it still is based on chromium. It’s the worst browser combination possible.

    Falkon is pretty cool! I prefer using qutebrowser if it’s gonna use QtWebEngine anyway. It is slower and less featureful than the main browsers, though. If you don’t mind it, I’d say go for it!

    I didn’t know about Dot Browser, but it looks… unfinished? It’s based on Firefox, so that’s cool. But it seems someone would be better off just using something like LibreWolf (or Tor if you actually want some privacy).


  • well, I just came across the article on Mastodon and wanted to share it. I mean jeez, imagine sharing and wanting to discuss interesting topics just for fun?

    and I posted the article on [email protected] and then cross-posted it here, because I thought it was also an interesting community to discuss it. I saw a bunch of people cross-posting it elsewhere, so if you’re seeing it a bunch of times then it’s probably because those communities probably also have something in common with the article. I personally think every community have different people and different discussions to have, so I don’t see it as particularly bad.
