Hey fedi,

I think I might have a decent-ish implementation of pkpass support. Anyone wanna help me test? I had to turn like, half the app upside-down to make it work, so having some more eyes on this would be nice: github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro… :)

Please note that this is a different "Matrix," entirely unrelated to the the Matrix protocol.

Europol and the Dutch police have both issued statements clarifying. You can find more info in our own statement here: matrix.org/blog/2024/12/unrela…

I wanted to keep you posted on #PixelOver migration to Godot 4. It was a lot of work, but the basic functionalities are now working (of course, there are still many fixes to make). First alpha version should come soon!

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.)

I mean that guy was still using a denial rubber stamp program to torture and kill people for money. Why is it fine for him to kill and torture people?

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."

OK, all good things … are 3: Anyone using Plex Media Server and be willing to check whether this app is still usable?

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…

Unless I am missing something.

"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.

After the Debian Desktop Team made the call for proposing themes, a total
of six choices were submitted. The desktop artwork poll was open… bits.debian.org/2024/12/cerato…
