There’s already dozens of forks. There was before all of this even started. Sad to see it go, but the app itself and how it functions will pretty well certainly go on. Tachiyomi isn’t even an app that needs routine updates, it’s the extensions that do. So existing setups will probably work indefinitely so long as extensions continue getting updates…

So, sounds very “oh fuck” but for end users probably means literally nothing changes. Unless something breaks the functionality of the app, which really just means the reader and library and everything, it doesn’t need active maintenance. Bugs might crop up occasionally, but everything looks fine as of now.

Unofficial extensions are still being updated. I’ve got working bato and everything. Haven’t run into issues so far. I’m not sure how this korean company got to them or why, since they’re not even hosting the content. But either way, things should be good for now.

Tachiyomi is too good to fail. It’s the best manga reader that has ever existed. It’s open source. If they need to offload extension support onto less organized entities, then so be it. The community isn’t going to disappear.

Someone will surely find a workaround to this. Half my library on tachiyomi is from mangadex lol

Edit: I did find a workaround, an unofficial repository for mangadex and bato extensions. As of the moment bato extension seems to be broken, but hopefully a patch will be released soon. The developer of the extension still plans to maintain it afaik

NB literally does not have tenants’ rights. Literally nothing. Your landlord can do essentially anything they want to you. The only person who can challenge them is the rentalsman, and they will 99% of the time side with the leeches.

Well, when your rent is 50% of your income and your food costs take up almost 30% of your income and your bills take up the remainder and you’re constantly one missed paycheck from homelessness and starvation and your family are in equally dire straits and so cannot bail you out - having children becomes entirely impossible.

You say you weren’t financially prepared, but evidently it was financially possible for you to have children. For at least half of my generation it just point blank is not possible.

Yes, and 2000/month rent is unaffordable at 85% of your income.

Its not just big metros that are having rental market crisis. My hometown has a monthly 9% increase in the cost of apartment rentals and has for months now. And we’re far from a metro of any kind. Apartments that went for 600/month in 2021 are going for 1500 or more a month now. And a lot of currently available units are even worse off than that.

To even have a single bedroom you’d have to be making 34$/hour. And if you’re making 34$ an hour, minimum wage being 15.50, what the hell are you supposed to do if you make 20$ an hour? Sleep in a homeless shelter?

Don’t they keep telling us that working full time will provide for us? Weren’t we all promised that when we were children? “Grow up and work full time and you can get a home and make a living” well damn eh you can’t even even have a 1 bedroom apartment working full time lol. Not unless you make 14 dollars more an hour than the average income.

So if you’re a single parent you and your child should just… what? Work full time and sleep on the street?

I never said it did enable it, nor did I say that we shouldn’t have legal options for people who are suffering.

But again, this isn’t entirely an issue of medical ethics. I’m not saying we shouldn’t have MAID, I am saying that every single time the subject comes up we should be saying as loudly and as frequently as possible that many of these people are dying of capitalism. They are dying of wage slavery. They are killing themselves because capitalism has decided they have no worth, and they are facing homelessness starvation and spiraling health conditions as a consequence.

You’re misunderstanding me. I am not anti MAID. I’m not going to share too much personal details here but I’ve dealt with suicide many times in my adult life. I am well aware of how real the suffering of the mentally ill is. That only galvanizes my conviction that if you’re talking about this subject and you’re not pointing the finger at the Canadian government and absolutely demanding that they expand disability income, create UBI, and expand public Healthcare and ensure every Canadian citizen has access to widespread and competent mental health care - then you don’t have any actual interest in helping the mentally ill. Only in making sure that death is an option, which is kinda like ensuring veteran’s welfare after deployment by making sure they can kill themselves when society fails them. You can advocate for both. You can think that MAID should be an option and that our government has to actually make society a livable place.

Not at all, its just important not to lose sight of what the actual problem is here. The problem being that capitalism causes mental health problems, and makes it almost impossible to completely treat many mental health problems. We can’t concede that point, least of all now when it is a subject of national debate. People don’t want to just watch our vulnerable and impoverished choose death over continuing to suffer in ways they don’t have to. Theres a real point of radicalization here, a point where people want solutions and we can actually offer real ones to them.

Yeah, like I think the option should exist once you’ve passed certain qualifiers. But being mentally ill has so many consequences from capitalism. I myself struggle with metal health at times, and those times are always at their absolute worst financial problems come up. And our society is extremely difficult to get started in. Most people my age are only one paycheck away from desperation. When you’re mentally ill poverty is a symptom, you’re that much less capable of working. And society refuses to help you in the long term. You’ll always have to face your own unreliability as an existential threat, which worsens how unreliable you are.

It is morally wrong to euthanize people because capitalism has decided they have no worth, and because they can never have a life worth living without society changing. But thats almost never what people want to talk about, they want to talk about how it’s just wrong to let the unwell die. Never about how they can prevent us from becoming so unwell we cannot function.

It was at Toshodaiji, which is a 1200 year old very well maintained temple and a designated UNESCO world heritage site. I am very doubtful that he could be unaware of what the temple is, as its very much a tourist attraction and not just some random buildings. He is a kid, so I dont think it merits anything extreme in terms of punishment but the crime in this case is pretty serious. But he is 17 and definitely knew better. Any adult would likely face legal consequences.

The amount that we pay for groceries is fast approaching a third of our monthly budget. We’ve gone a few times in the past year eating instant noodles and plain rice for a week because of unexpected costs. And I make pretty decent money, and even with my partner’s income we have been just barely scraping by. A 2 bedroom apartment that doesn’t have laundry in it and is a falling apart minimum 80 year old building in a rough neighborhood should not cost 2000 a month. It’s unbelievable, but thats what rent costs are like throughout the area I live in.

Thats the lie we spread yeah. We have it much better than some, but in many areas it’s a lot worse than you think. Where I’m at our rental market has nearly double the average price for a 2 bedroom apartment in the span of like 2 years. Places that went for 800 and were in very rough underfunded neighborhoods now going for close to 2000. Our homeless population here has also been doubling every few months since the pandemic aid ended. In the winter its particularly bad and a lot of people have died from exposure or from accidentally starting fires.
