The author seems dead set on a tauri calendar implementation. I came across what is apparently a scheduling toolkit in rust:

https://github.com/fmeringdal/nettu-scheduler

Which I guess could be used to build a desktop calendar app. One flaw in the ointment is that a calendar program really needs email integration. Downloading an ICS file and manually transferring that over to your calendar app isn't going to cut it.

Which brings us to the lack of solid calendar servers. I've searched but I haven't found anything popular, OSS, easy to install, and useful for groups. Radicale exists but multi user support is a janky hack, while Nextcloud has unreliable sync. I'm looking for features like:

  • reliable calendar sync
  • sharable calendars.
  • scheduling help - when to have a meeting?
  • how many attendees for a group event, how many invited etc.

Hot take: tire particulates are a conservative anti-EV talking point. "My V8 mustang weighs less than an EV, therefore its better on pollution than a EV because tire particulates". Totally disregarding the impact of tailpipe emissions.

aw, he may be a genocide loving nazi, but at least its from the heart. won't someone give him some money?

If they want to go that way, maybe a TV series, with bigger character development arcs and worldbuilding.

yeah mad max might be more appropriate for a video game, with its emphasis on action and minimalist plot.

Seems to me mainly of interest to devs who want to prep for a future generation of risc-v chips.

pr06lefs , (edited )

IMO this device is more of a prototype for working out issues with risc-v in a framework chassis. Not really for doing practical work at this point. Could mean that framework expects a powerful risc-v chip in the next few years, and wants to lay the groundwork for that now.

pricing is in line with the top ipad. I consider it kind of an activist move to buy one of these though, more about supporting a cause than getting a device with maximal functionality.

No spoilers please, but does Old Man’s War get better?

I’ve been really enjoying John Scalzi’s catalog- Started with Starter Villain (delightful!), The Kaiju Preservation Society (Sweet..), Lock In + Head On (fun who-done-its), The Android’s Dream (clever, enjoyable read), Agent to the Stars (funny, creative, pretty good)....

It is military sci-fi. I liked the series, but then I liked it from the beginning and didn't need to push through any of it. Sounds like maybe the subject matter isn't really your bag, that's ok.

And the word grok comes from stranger in a strange land, not hitchhikers guide.

Yes they literally pull in particles from the bathroom air and blow them directly on your hands.

nixos is great - as long as the software you need is in nixpkgs, and it usually is. reinstallation is almost never necessary. You can switch your system to the unstable channel, and if you get tired of that, back to stable again, no problem. Experiment with software and remove it without a trace left in your system. If you mess up your config, you can roll back to the previous config in the bootup menu. Your system config is in a text file which you can put into source control if you wish, which allows you to replicate your config onto another machine, or revert to what you had 6 months ago, etc.

Mercedes "full self driving" is only on designated routes.

pr06lefs ,

Just like mercedes 'full self driving' this sounds like its on limited routes where there's been extensive testing. I don't expect truck driving to go full auto on arbitrary roads in the next few years. The tech is not there yet.

Because the Fediverse itself is a response to enshittification.

The consequences are 100% on him and 0% on you.

He chose to be a douche and is presuming on others to keep this under wraps so he can continue being abusive. Playing along with his secrecy game only helps the abuser. You have absolutely no obligation to keep this private, and moreover you have digital evidence in the form of a text message.

Ok, I'll go:

The Will Smith I, Robot movie took its title from the classic Issac Asimov imagining of a future of robots that coexist productively with humans due to his Three Laws of Robotics. Asimov's work is an optimistic statement on the power of science and reasoning to construct a utopian world. The Will Smith movie instead delivers a message of "Robots R Bad And Will Kill U All", completely disregarding the whole point of the source material. They could have named it something else since it had almost nothing in common with the actual book, but instead they chose to take a giant dump on Asimov's legacy.
