Hello everyone,

With Kotatsu's recent shutdown and due to some ongoing issues over the years, I believe Mihon is also under threat. If you care about the project's future, please take a moment to read this message.


Who is behind the threat, and how?


A group going by iiTachiyomi and recently Miyomi has built a massive following by impersonating Tachiyomi (Mihon's predecessor) across various platform. They only rebranded to iiTachiyomi after years of request and only on platforms where they had a low following.

Their blatant impersonation was one of the key reason behind the legal threat Tachiyomi received, which ultimately led to its shutdown. When we announced Mihon and exposed their behavior, iiTachiyomi promised to change their ways and not impersonate Mihon.

However, just months after Mihon launched, they resumed the same behavior by:
- Creating a new brand "Miyomi: Tachiyomi and Mihon community" to capitalize on Mihon's name
- Posting Mihon release notes and announcements without attribution
- Sharing updates of third-party extension repos without attribution
- Failing to clarify they are not the developers behind Mihon or those extensions
- Selling fake Mihon branded merchandise

Why does this threaten Mihon?


When P.CoK, the anti-piracy division of Kakao requested the removal of extensions, the Tachiyomi team complied. iiTachiyomi, however continued distributing them in a misleading way, causing confusion that escalated into legal pressure, which resulted in Tachiyomi shutting down.

Now, they are doing the same thing with Mihon. Their misrepresentation and misuse of Mihon’s name, branding and work puts the project at risk, despite Mihon having already corrected the mistakes Tachiyomi made. It could also cause problems for other apps they promote.

What to do from now on


iiTachiyomi claims to serve the community, but their actions prove otherwise. To protect Mihon:
- Report iiTachiyomi or Miyomi pages that mislead users
- Correct people who confuse Mihon with iiTachiyomi or Miyomi
- Don’t share or support unofficial Mihon merchandise
- Spread the word: Mihon has no connection to them

This is after the action that Kotatsu manga app shutting down due to Kakao's continued war on manga piracy, and Google's future policy of limiting what Android users can install on their own devices.

Important

In light of recent challenges — including threating actions from Kakao Entertainment Corp and upcoming Google’s new sideloading policy — we’ve made the difficult decision to shut down Kotatsu and end its support. We’re deeply grateful to everyone who contributed and to the amazing community that grew around this project.


One year ago, Tachiyomi shut down due to Kakao's efforts, as per this post here.

I don't really know.
I read some posts of both the accused and the accuser and can't find anything really bad.

For example the mentioned merch using the logo/brand from Mihon.
Yes, the kanji can't be "copyrighted" as it's like saying I own the letter "A" but the styling is obviously reminiscent of Tachiyomi/Mihon.
Besides that, as of right now I can't either sides.

in reply to Appoxo

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.

Authorities detain & deport 2 Jews after they sought to support the olive harvest in a Palestinian village


“The two participants who were detained were volunteering with Rabbis for Human Rights’ long-standing olive harvest initiative—an act of nonviolent solidarity that supports Palestinian farmers facing settler/military violence and access restrictions to their own lands. They joined the harvest as part of their regular volunteer placements through Achvat,” says Oltersdorf.

The charges? “Violating IDF Orders,” according to the Israeli Population and Immigration Authority.

The principles and actions of these […] groups might seem soft compared to the ardent anti-Zionist Jewish groups popping up around the world. They were not arrested engaging in insurgent direct action, did not call for an end to Israel, they simply went to go pick olives.

Yet the targeting of these interfaith groups calling for co-existence in Israel/Palestine shows a troubling trend for International solidarity activists seeking to engage in front line activities in Palestine. While groups like International Solidarity Movement, who bring people of all faiths and backgrounds to Palestine have been consistently targeted by Israel for arrest and deportation, the same has rarely applied to Jewish, faith-based groups. The Jewish supremacy that once protected International Jews with Israeli organizations is slowly fading.

Avi Dabush, CEO of Rabbis for Human Rights says: “We are disappointed and outraged by the expulsion of Jewish women from Israel and the delay of volunteers. This is selective enforcement of the most blatant and dangerous kind. We are only two weeks into the harvest season and we have already been given 9 orders declaring the harvest areas a closed military area prohibiting us from entering, but on the other hand, the violent settlers have not been detained or arrested so far in all the attacks that have been recorded. We operate without violence and according to the law, and it is a shame that the police and the army wasted an entire day turning away people who came to stand by people under attack.”

But with this rise in retaliation from Israel against insurgent Jews within their borders, the narrative that Zionism and Israel has been pushing also begins to crack. When Jews become unsafe and unwelcome in Israel because of the Israeli government itself, the hypocrisy of Israel as a means for Jewish safety becomes further exposed. As Israel seeks to determine what Jews are politically aligned enough to engage in apartheid and Jewish supremacy, the world must take note that Jewish safety is not helped by Israel. Indeed at the two activists can attest, Israel makes the world more dangerous for Jews.

Emboldened Democrats mobilize against centrists’ emerging shutdown deal


Hours before the first major elections since Donald Trump’s win last November, Sen. Bernie Sanders offered a stern warning for Democrats about the party’s closed-door talks to end the shutdown.

Inside a tense, three-hour meeting at the Capitol on Tuesday, a fiery Sanders urged Democrats not to yield to Republicans without a real victory on health care. The Vermont independent was armed with fresh polling from a Democratic-aligned firm that showed voters would punish the party for giving up with nothing in return, according to a person familiar with his remarks.

By Wednesday morning, Sanders and his colleagues in Congress pointed to Democrats’ blow-out victories — including in Virginia, a state with thousands of furloughed federal workers — as the most powerful evidence yet they needed to keep fighting.

If New Yorkers experience climate change as a matter of comfort, not survival, that's because NYC is very wealthy. That's why this article can frame the intertwined issue as quality of life, not length of life.

For most of the world, climate change will put quality of life and length of life in conflict with each other. People will need to sacrifice some comfort/luxury to prevent death. That actually probably includes NYC.

Calling bullshit on this oft repeated lie, most people want Schrödinger's action.

To have effective action, you'd need to ban flying, ban cruise ships, ban private cars , ban petrol lawn equipment, ban recreational offroad vehicles, and recreational boating, ban meat eating pets, ban advertising, ban large houses, make being a billionaire a criminal offence etc

What most people mean is, slap up a couple solar panels and wind turbines and be done with it, which makes it worse, like using an aspirin for li g cancer and saying you've taken action and the problems solved !

Climate change is a demand side and human behavioural issue. To know what people really want, look to voting results, the rest of it is just bullshit.

IMO, interestingly, John Kenneth Galbraith touched on some of the reasons why in his Essay "The culture of contentment".

in reply to hanrahan

Don't let perfect get in the way of good.

The fact you say ban advertising probably shows you have gone a bit on the extreme side. Ban cruise ships? If you shift all recreational air travel to cruise travel, it'll offset a big chunk of impact. Remove petrol cars, private jets, electrify rail, improve public transport, invest in solar, wind, geothermal, tidal, nuclear, move consumption from red meat to white meat and you'll take a big chunk out of it, review, and take further steps if needed.

You seem to have swallowed the propaganda that consumers are responsible, not corporations. You let them off the hook and lost faith. What follows is resignation that we fail and no further steps. That's failure. We have to turn this ship around and the turning circle is big, let's start now and put a full lock on.

People used plastic straws, then they replaced with paper. Less single use plastic heading to landfill. Did consumer change anything? No. The law changed, companies adapted and people through the same actions cut environmental impact, if just by a small amount. Demand side argument does not stand well. It plays a factor, but it isn't the only one.
