Updated the script URL to match the different file structure of the repo. (Files now are contained within <Operating System>/<Payload Category> instead of being in the root directory).
There is also an issue with all of the bit.ly links where they have not been updated with the different file structure

Thank you for reporting this broken link.

Regarding bit.ly links, the problem is widespread on all links but I did not see fit to fix it as it is strongly recommended not to use redirects made available by others rather all users should create their own redirects for their own safety. Already some time ago I added this note in the FAQ on the Home page.

https://github.com/aleff-github/my-flipper-shits?tab=readme-ov-file#faqs

Also I want to add that even if the link to the python script is now solved thanks to your intervention and thanks to your reporting in any case it is always preferable to use own links related to files uploaded through one's own accounts or otherwise not reachable by others.

You don't have to think that I can be the one to alter this file wanting to compromise you users but you have to think that if some Cracker will compromise my Github account then he will be able to do it freely as he doesn't need specific checks or permissions so it is always good to take advantage of own hosting systems and not the ones found on the net as the python file hosted in this repository can be, regardless if I have good or bad intentions.

However I find this explanation useful for other users as well so I will add it to the FAQ under the heading “Why you should absolutely not use permanent links maintained by others.”

Thanks for the support.
