Lately I have noticed that when you purchase a ticket you don’t get a static PDF/PNG anymore.

Increasingly often, you get a .pkpass file, which is supposed to be opened in wallet apps (like Google Wallet or any 3rd-party wallet app).

Since I don’t like to share information about the events I attend with strangers on the Internet, I have decided to take a closer look at these .pkpass files.

They are just zip files that contain a background image, an icon and a pass.json with the actual information about the ticket. Nothing that can’t be handled by a script rather than a 3rd-party 100 MB mobile app.

I have thus put together a simple #shell script that does exactly that.

Dependencies:
jq
zint
magick
unzip
curl or wget

Apparently someone has finally managed to run Adobe Photoshop 2025 and 21 on Linux through Wine 👀 would you be interested? https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1qdgd73/i_made_adobe_cc_installers_work_on_linux_pr_in/

Recently I discovered that bloons td6 doesn't use steam cloud saves and somehow ignored manual save backup, so me not logging in before installing a different os and therefore wiping data means I have lost all my game progress.

To support Firefox' changes to (finally! ;) respect XDG directories, LibreWolf sticks to ~/.librewolf if it already exists, for backward compatibility; but will use $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/librewolf otherwise.

Unfortunately, we've also had to drop 32bit builds for Windows starting with this release.

See https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/147.0/releasenotes/ for upstream changes.

my #39c3 art project is done! I took a VHS-C camcorder to the event and did my best to capture the vibe and art installations without violating the photopolicy.

It’s my first highly-edited video in over 5 years, so please excuse the roughness around some edges. Hope you enjoy it!

I will say that one thing survival horror games got right about our modern era is how much time is spent seeking out and re-entering four digit codes.

Hey all,

I have a friend who's been trying to get on Mastodon but tells me that it doesn't seem to play well with screen readers. I know there are plenty of people on the fedi who do use screen readers, but I have no experience with them myself, so I can't really direct him.

Can someone who does use a #ScreenReader point me in the direction of some resources that might be useful?

If they can't get my cat's color right, imagine the errors on more serious topics...
