Apparently, all RSS readers are banned on Google Play:

Google added some restrictions to news app and I don’t see how Flym (and other RSS aggregators) could comply to that. For instance, Flym cannot provide a “valid and verifiable contact information” for the feed, nor it can assure that “each of the sources must meet News policy requirements”.

As of today, Flym updates on Play Store are blocked by Google. So I have archived this project in order to clearly show that I won’t maintain it anymore. I’m not aware of any official way of publishing an RSS client on PlayStore and do not have motivation to argue with Google.

Just one more argument against ever using Google Play.

Very early #OnThisDay, 12 Apr 1944, Odette Wilen parachutes into France to work as a wireless operator for the British Special Operations Executive. The SOE supports the French resistance.

Wireless operators were at the greatest risk of discovery, as their position could be triangulated whenever they were transmitting messages back to London.

Wilen evades capture by minutes and escapes over the Pyrenees. She lives until 2015.

The left shift key of my laptop has been acting erratically (it keeps registering as being active for ~1s after being released [1]). I tried cleaning the key today with alcohol but no change in behavior. Anything else I should try (besides learning to just use the right shift key 🙈)?

[1] before I actually noticed what was going on this was driving me completely insane when trying to enter my passwords

Just finished 15.5 km in the #Beskydy mountains. The longest run of my life. Not bad considering I started pretty much from scratch in winter. But the photos before and after the run speak for themselves. 😅

It is already fifteen years now since I started "debating" about cookie spec details. So many lost battles...

This blog post from 2010 is about ordering of cookies in HTTP headers.

Are ther any #persian speakers on Mastodon who can help tell me if github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro… looks correct at all?

I have no experience with the language, barely know what it's supposed to look like, so I can't tell 😅

Thanks in advance for anyone willing to take a minute to look!

A friend told me it looked like it wasn't RTL correctly. So after some tweaking (and replacing ImageMagick by Inkscape for PNG generation as ImageMagick was ignoring RTL) I ended up getting a decent enough fix I think: github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro…

I can't judge if it's correct, but it looks better and fairly consistent with the translation file. So as long as the translator translated correctly this *might* be okay?

So I'm going to guess this is resolved :)
