My guess is they see Tachiyomi as making it easier to access such content (through downloads and library management). I don't know how the legalities play out, but on their end taking down Tachiyomi inconveniences those accessing pirated content, while being easier than directly targetting the sources.

Tachiyomi: It's Joever (TL;DR official development has ceased.)
I guess it's time to wait and see if their recommended forks will continue and what Kakao's next move is going to be...
Their point regarding old and unmaintained apps seems a bit silly. Getting the same old and unmaintained app from the app's website isn't going to make it any safer. You're still going to need to switch to a different app/fork to get updates.
F-Droid doesn't usually remove apps that aren't maintained, as far as I can tell. There are apps that haven't been updated in over a decade (Quill). Since F-Droid sorts by recency of release, they tend to just sink to the bottom of searches anyway.
The addon version works on Android.. There's an issue/"idea" for Chinese support as well. If I recall correctly, though, one of the problems is tokenization (the languages currently supported for example have spaces to separate words).
Whoops, I forgot to enable the dark theme on the page; maybe the need to explicitly enable using the browser's dark theme is why Safari doesn't really bother. I've switched the dark theme to use Firefox's colors, let me know if there's anything that is still broken.
The study is from 2018, and I wasn't able to locate the original source from searching. Also, from the author's bio:
Ph.D. Rocket Surgeon & Aspiring Troglodyte
The Hacker News discussion also does not inspire confidence....
Nim is still being developed. I can't remember there being any major controversies regarding the creator of Nim; the worst I can think of is his rather strong opinion regarding the grammar of singular they. Here's the context for his post, make of it what you will.
By that I meant from the perspective that the initial allegations still felt like it could all just be a misunderstanding. Now that it has been donated, it seems to be more a matter of who at Open Hand was actually in the know (since it is possible that Jirard geniunely was being misled himself), and why the money wasn't being donated. The golf tournament stuff definitely feels much more circumstantial since it is based on extrapolation. Overall it does seem like the IRS getting involved is going be the only way definitive evidence of what was actually going on will come out.
With Logseq, it leans more towards using a nested bullets style rather than a series of paragraphs. Although it has a document mode that hides the toplevel bullets, it feels like more of an afterthought (and with long paragraphs navigating tends to get wonky). They're both great pieces of software, but the writing styles they are aimed towards are different.
It will probably depend on distro. Some distros might get more bloated, but I think most won't do anything that makes them unusable on lower-spec hardware, especially those that specifically have low system requirements as one of their core tenets.
