New episode!

This time, it's about a very populra one, the Mate Desktop Environment.

As I dove into the way calendars and tasks (todos) work based on the caldav standard, it turns out that out of taskman (Linux CLI), the default Tasks app on iOS, the Nextcloud Tasks webapp and OpenTasks on Android, only the iOS default app can create recurring tasks, and only that handles them perfectly.
On the other hand, it totally ignores the fact that tasks could have start date/times, not just due date/times. All other applications handle that part.

I did not find a way to sync "todo" tasks and calendar events on the panel into a small applet from multiple calendar sources.

So, I installed khal, khard, todoman, vdsyncer and xfce4-genmon-plugin, spent 2 days configuring them and setting up a systemd timer.

You can find the two scripts I add to genmon on my xfce4-panel (that I use on dwm )

I will be refining the scripts, adding template configuration files, and more.

When it comes to social media platforms, the most important factor seems to be the "network effect".
But then why Twitter, that is only 17th on the list [1], became the "virtual town square" where all our important societal discussions are supposed to happen?

Today in my series on the desktop environments available on Arch Linux, I am taking a look at the LXQt desktop environment.

Today's OpenSuspect coding stream ended up being super productive!

Hope to see you guys next time.

#stream #godot #gamedev #linux

Stream will start in about 20-30 minutes!

I'll be streaming my coding session in #godot for the #opensuspect project!

Start is in approx. 4 and a half hours, but keep your eyes on the YT link for updates (or see me replying to this post)

The human brain is just not built for handling large data sets and statistics.

Every day I see people who think the "I've seen one example of A" anecdote is a good argument against "A is very unlikely but B is very likely" in every aspect of life.

You might buy the most reliable thing on the market, and still catch a faulty product. You can chose to do something absolutely dangerous and get through it without a scratch.

Every time someone posts an interesting opinion where I'd love to participate in a discussion, I just get super frustrated that I need to limit myself to 500 characters.

Can someone tell me, who decided that "microblogging" is going to be where it's at?
