in Germany it was not the brutality of the allies victory that dissuaded people, it was the totallity of it. The people weren’t stupid so when they saw the massive amount and types of material the alies carted through Germany they knew they lost. The German people were not well of at that point yet here come the US soldiers throwing chocoloate around like ti’s nothing. Stuff like that imprints really hard just how badly you lost.

But yeah with Japan the US had to first display that they were willing and cappable to turn the entire country to rubble before the leadership surrendered.

Context:

• Israel is killing civilians, including children, while attempting to eradicate Hamas
• Calls for a ceasefire happen so Israel stops killing innocents
• “muh ceasefire don’t work, you need to eradicate Hamas first”

Now tell me, where in that comment chain do you, explicitly, state that no civilians should be killed in the attempt to remove Hamas from Gaza?

You cannot remove Hamas by means of force without at the same time killing an incredibly large number of innocent civilians. You demanding Hamas has to be eradicated first is, implicitly, stating that you are A-OK with Israel slaughtering innocents in the process.

As you say they are a terrorist organization, they use human shields. You cannot state your argument in some fantasy reality where Hamas and the IDF suddenly play by the rules of engagement.

you childishly ignore all the context present

Going by the remark you close the previous comment with the only person being childish here is you. If your reaction to being called out is demanding the other user delete their account (I’m being favorably with the interpretation here) that says a lot about your ability to handle criticism.

Now I’m going to generously assume you just lack the English language skills to have this discussion in a manner where you can properly articulate your point (because apparently what everyone else here takes away from your comments is not what you think you wrote). Given that assumption I can only give you my well meant suggestion of not engaging in discussions using the English language. If you can’t properly articulate your point then there is no point in having a discussion. Discussion only works if communication is bidirectional and clear which is not the case when one side loses half their arguments in translation.

Should I just quote the rest of that comment then? Because you repeat yourself in the next paragraph, you’re even so kind to put a full stop behind the statement that time:

The only solution is the removal of every single Hamas person and at best the Irani government as well, Hamas is just their sock puppet.

Tell me, where is this mysterious “context” you mention because I just can’t seem to find it between your constant demand/proposal to eradicate all terrorists.

all of this will repeat over and over until Hamas gets completely wiped out

you, literally in the same comment chain

Tempo is a really good Navidrome Client for Android imo

Navidrome is a subsonic server, feom the cursory research I did before setting it up it is also among the best supported/developed ones available.

Apple can indeed only do as much as their brainwashed users will accept. The resistance being brought forth by Apple users against this has been intentionally created over years by Apple themselves first so those users don’t buy Android.

I can say with high confidence they did think of the possibility but decided against closing the loophole because they didn’t want to be too overbearing with the regulation. You can see that process in action with the GDPR and cookie banners. Initially the regulation allowed for some freedom on the end of the website but after observation the EU determined that companies are happy to keep pushing the boundaries and have decided to tighten the wording of the cookie banner regulation.

Apple is likely shooting themselves in the foot right now because this behaviour will just result in the EU taking away what loopholes they left the companies to use in moderation.

What I don’t understand (well I do but I’d rather thing they’re stupid than that greedy) is how they fail to see the long term implications of their behaviour.

For example Apple could have easily avoided the entire USB C regulation by offering a USB C variant of their phone and then charging 80€ extra for it. There would not have been enough push to make an entire regulation around the connectors if there was not one giant manufacturer wanting to be special.

The same is the case here. Apple could very easily just skim a bit off the top. Charge third party stores a fee for 2nd class treatment as an appstore instead of 3rd class (for example: have the user confirm every update manually unless the store pays up). That would be enough to shut critics up because “well it’s just QoL you’re missing out”. Instead they are pushing things way too far once again and will ultimately make less money than they could have because of it.

It’s what happens when the devs have to spend more time making sure the DRM works than actually improving the UX of the platform. Pirates/Non-DRM users don’t have that problem hence small FOSS projects can outclass big Streaming Services in UX quality.

All this will do is give the EU cause to lock down the loopholes and allowances they put into the regulation the first time around.

It would appear they have not learned from the past (USB C for example)

If Gabe cares he likely already handed leadership over to allow for an interim period where he could step in and Veto any decisions he thinks are crap

For now it should work but it will have an increasing likelihood of breaking with every future Android Update.

Migrating to Mihon now is recommended, one of the devs worked on Tachiyomi and for now the code is almost identical which allows easy migration via a Tachiyomi Backup.

Migrating in the future might be more difficult because incompatibility between Tachiyomi and future versions of Mihon could mean Backups from Tachiyomi cannot be restored by Mihon.

Kakao nuked the official Tachiyomi Extension repo because they “infringe on their copyright”.

The Extension repo does not and never has offered copyrighted material, it merely facilitated access to sites that do within Tachiyomi. Essentially it was a collection of hyper specific Browsers. The repo is gone, the extensions are not (they are now in a different repo provided by a user). Tachiyomi itself allows for 3rd party repos now and everyone is mad at Kakao for making the App less usable.

they smoked their own supply is how. The management team ate the legal departments bs about how they are fighting a righteous cause here.

Nope they are only using API’s from the various hosting sources. That’s what makes this request so blatantly fraudulent. For all intents and purposes Tachiyomi is just a Browser specialized for Manga

Essentially Kakao Entertainment abused DMCA to get all extensions removed despite the Extensions themselves not containing any DMCA material. What allowed this to spiral so out of control (it started out with only Bato.to, Mangadex and Kissmanga being removed) was that the Tachiyomi devs have absolutely 0 spine and 0 will to prevent DMCA abuse. They just folded at the requests immediately without any sort objection or demand to go through GitHub instead (this approach in particular has worked in warding off false DMCA claims because that way the corporations have to somewhat publicly press their illegitimate claim, worked wonders for youtube-dl afaik)

Not surprised in the slightest. Having a doormat DMCA policy and then not even using GitHub as a shield (like youtube-dl for example) is just asking for it. The dev response doesn’t really help so I guess the App is dead. Maybe a fork will pick up the pieces but I have no trust in the main repo devs to do the right thing or work in the users interest.

If the Tachiyomi devs don’t reverse this somehow (which seems unlikely given what I’ve read about past cases of this, custom repo it is I guess) they probably just killed the app. Ubless you are aware of how to get Mangadex and bato back Tachiyomi is now a worse option than even just using your browser again for most people.

Seems like the devs even folded like wet noodles wgen they had (to my knowledge) risk free options of at least attempting to prevent this, such as demanding the dmca to be filed with GitHub (saved youtube-dl for example since their repo got reinstated after Google withdrew their claim)

This sort of non-reaction is just asking for the wolves to tear the project apart, after this any copyright holder with no leg to stand on will file claims agaonst Tachiyomi for whatever sources remain. Because why shouldn’t they? It’s a 100% success rate and they don’t even risk anything (illegally) abusing DMCA with people like this at the helm of the project.
