Repeat offenders drive bulk of tech support scams via #Google #Ads
"Search engines, and Google’s in particular, are our gateway to the web. Yet, that door sometimes opens up to unsavory places thanks to sponsored search results, AKA ads."
This is part of the reason I recommend using an #adblocker (whether in browser, on device, or network-based.)

Whoa. NYT reports the CEO of UnitedHealthcare was fatally shot in Midtown Manhattan in what appears to be a targeted attack: nytimes.com/live/2024/12/04/ny…
The executive, Brian Thompson, was shot and killed in what people briefed on the investigations said appeared to be a targeted attack. The police will provide an update on the search for his killer.
Wow, the comments here somewhat mirror those on Youtube videos about the shooting (e.g "good!" "hero!" "give that person a reward!" etc). It's a safe bet that other CEOs (and potentially other would-be "heroes") are taking note.

Europol was in touch with The Reg overnight to ensure no one imagined the "Matrix" app had any connection to the open protocol for secure decentralized comms of the same name, saying: "The Matrix protocol ( @matrix ) is by no means connected to the Matrix secured communication service that was targeted in OTF Continental."
I was near certain I joined spreading the word, but now I can't find any post so I must have written it but forgot to press send 😅 . Are these stickers also available elsewhere, like a webshop?
Well I can't find any message back so I'm pretty sure it's on me 😅 . My account isn't big enough yet to be undefinable.
I'll send you a message, big thanks! I make sure you get a good place on my work-laptop's lid of "good things to use/support": for every friend & work relation to see 😃 !

plexmanager saw its last release 1.5 years ago, and its repo was archived in September. If it's still fine, we can keep it at #IzzyOnDroid a bit longer – but if not, it should be removed.
I am hosting my own server at plex.ashpex.net and nope, the app doesn't work for me. I tried with the token from this tutorial: support.plex.tv/articles/20405…
@ashpex Thanks! Looks like @benny_r got it working. Can you check with him if some step is missing at your end and which? Or maybe it has to do with the version of the Plex server used, or the Android version on device (though the error doesn't seem to indicate the latter)?
"Ceratopsian" will be the default theme for Debian 13: The theme "Ceratopsian" by Elise Couper has been selected as the default theme for Debian 13 "trixie". The theme is inspired by Trixie's (the fictional character from Toy Story) frill and is also influenced by a previously used theme called "futurePrototype" by Alex Makas.

JAWS is now far better at detecting field labels and album information. This is the final build of the scripts prior to Christmas. hartgen.org/AppleMusicScripts
It's repo had been archived half a year ago, and the last release was made almost 3 years ago – so it would be good to know if we should still keep it at #IzzyOnDroid or have to remove it as "no longer working".
@elbullazul Thanks! My question is more for people having that app still installed and want to keep it, even when changing devices or having to perform a factory reset. Good to know about the alternative, though!

Několik lidí se mě o víkendu ptalo, jestli pořád dělám kroužky pro děti. Nedělám, protože #Ukrajina. Práce pro dnesnaukrajine.cz/ mě sežere tak 3.5 hodiny týdně. To je skoro přesně to, co jsem dříve věnoval kroužkům pro děti.
Můžete si říkat, že se vás válka netýká. Ale týká. A až si budete říkat, že je škoda proč už není akce XY, tak tohle je jeden z možných důvodů.

Whoa, interesting that "bini" means wife in Bahasa Indonesia, which is kind of opposite of the Tagalog meaning of "binibini." Reminds me of the difference of Tagalog "salamat" and Indonesian "selamat."
Incidentally, BINI has a song "Born To Win" that they translated to Bahasa Indonesia.
