• Radicale hosts my calendars and contacts
• zero-hassle setup in Thunderbird for both of those things
• DAVx on Android works seamlessly for calendar and contacts Sync
• Fossify calendar to view, edit calendar
• default contact app for contacts
• Infcloud as a web frontend for Radicale. Not pretty, but absolutely functional (and I hardly ever need it thanks to Android calendar app / Thunderbird)

Haven’t tried todo lists yet, but I would imagine they are similarly hassle-free.

The only annoyance I have is that DAVx is required at all, but I’d suspect that’s an Android/Google issue? IDK.

But anyways, this setup works flawlessly for me.

Thunderbird doesn’t even need a plugin. Just “add new calendar” > “on the network” > enter the URL. Done.

Same for contacts.

Oof.

My employer pays a buttload of money to CircleCI - for extensive checks (build, lint, formatting, full test suite, as well as custom scripts for translation converage, docs,… for the full tech stack) on every push. Reviews start only when everything passes.

I think you have given me a new-found appreciation for the reasoning behind that decision… 😄

Lmao, what, that’s wild. How did they justify this??

Fuck Amazon, fuck Alexa.

But that wall clock is glorious. It’s a decently look clock, but seeing how much time you have left on multiple timers with a single glance is so incredibly useful. Especially when you’re cooking.

I’m currently in the process of migrating away from the shit Alexa ecosystem, but no matter what I end up with, I’ll have to find an alternative for this clock

Did someone say Gemini?

For me personally, there is only two applications of LLMs in programming:

• doing tasks I kinda know how to do, but don’t want to properly learn (recent example: generate pgf plots from csv data in matplotlib. 90% boilerplate, I last had to do it 3 years ago and vaguely remember some pitfalls so can steer the LLM in that direction. Will probably never again have to do this, so not worth the extra couple hours to properly learn
• things I would ordinarily write a script for, but aren’t worth automating because they won’t come up in the future again (example: convert this Lua table to a Nix set)

Essentially, one-off things that you know how to check for correctness.

Ah damn it -.-

Too bad, the app is really nice to use :/

It would be if it’s a one-time payment, but it’s a yearly subscription, and not a cheap one!

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to want to be paid, but a mandatory subscription when using the most common install method does irk me the wrong way

Just tried it, and it seems you can’t edit or add items without a premium subscription??

Or am I missing something?

Edit: Apparently only when installing via the Play Store. Very weird decision.

Does anyone have experience with keyguard? From a cursory glance, this + vaultwarden seems like a good alternative…

Maybe. But there are third options as well - maybe if Adobe acts like you describe, and there is sufficient Linux adoption, that opens the door for an actual crossplatform competitor.

Or maybe they change their mind when not doing so costs them money.

The point is to ditch the dependency on a corporate Overlord, not to find a different daddy

No, you are right. In your situation, Linux is just not an option - yet.

I think these posts are meant for the 95% of people that use a browser, and maaaaybe a mail client on their PC.

Photoshop/Illustrator will only ever get ported if enough people have already made the move that Adobe can’t afford to ignore Linux any longer.

That being said, if those requirements are just for work, what’s keeping you on Windows on your private devices?

IDK. They will certainly be fine here, on earth. Even if everything else goes to shit, they will continue living in luxury.

On a spaceship / station / Mars colony though? As much as I love sci-fi, living there will be ROUGH, regardless of how rich you are.

I think it’s more an ego thing: “I want to go down in history as the first human on another planet, lest I be forgotten” combined with an unhealthy dose of not giving a fuck about other people, which is kinda a prerequisite to being a billionaire in the first place.

I can recommend Grav as a flatfile CMS for those use-cases where the site is 90% static, the customer just wants to get able to sometimes update some of the content.

Or Flauncher

It’s ancient, but in a way I respect Nvidia for not milking it by releasing a new version every year.

Its still a perfect decive. Fast, streams absolutely everything, amazing remote. I seriously don’t know what I would want from a new version
