I use Fantastical; pretty decent for an iOS App - if not a bit pricey.

He does what, now? Can you post some links/examples? Is it because he posts long threads?
- Comment on Google’s expanded Find My Device network might arrive in a few days 1 month ago:
Yep, but as Google’s network (which would be the most comprehensive) is not yet ready, I’m using the next best thing: both Samsung and Apple’s - combined.
Note: I don’t live in a country where Tiled is sold or used too often, so they’re a no-go.

- Comment on Proton Mail says that the new Outlook app for Windows is Microsoft's new data collection service 4 months ago:
Local only.
Even if you pay for their subscription, when you get to a new computer you need to manually authenticate with each service. But, it remembers which accounts you have, so it’s faster than manually setting up each account from scratch. Basically “we know you have Gmail, xmail, ymail - tap each account to reauthenticate”
It’s a good way to have (part of) the convenience of a cloud service, while combining it with the security of local only clients.

I’ve been paying for mailspring for a few years now, and I love it. It has touch and gesture support, is open source, and is available on Windows, MacOS, and Linux.
Its paid plan includes some nice features like email tracking - which you can’t really get from just a simple client and (needs a server to track who has opened an email and when) - and id lookup, for things like quickly seeing the LinkedIn profile of a sender not in your contacts list.
Definitely my favorite desktop client by a wide margin, and one I would recommend wholeheartedly.

Try Baikal, it’s a pretty lightweight CalDAV server!
Any client I use it with supports notifications, however it should also be able to send emails for you (e.g. Its scheduling feature).
- Comment on Flipboard leaves X for Mastodon 5 months ago:
One thing to add, it looks like Flipboard is all in on the Fediverse: they’ve announced plans to support ActivityPub in Flipboard itself, turning it into a federated service.
I think that’s really cool!

Mario Frigo from Just Cause 3.
I hated him so much in the beginning, but grew to love him. Moo-rio lives rent free in my mind.
- Comment on Bill Gates says a 3-day work week where 'machines can make all the food and stuff' isn't a bad idea 5 months ago:
It would, yes. But, the argument is that a person who wants a higher quality of life than “simply living” would be expected to work.
The right to life is, this way, protected - the right to a quality life, similar to today, would still have to be earned. This is in addition to the social pressure to work.

Yes, funding UBI with raised corporate taxes is absolutely not optional, I agree completely.
At the end of the day, simplified, UBI means: massive cuts to the workforce, in lieu of technology that can perform the exact same tasks more efficiently, for less; all the while paying people money at the same or similar levels of what they earned before.
It would be insane to assume the former would just grow wealthier over night while the latter is relegated to being financed by - in this example - wishful thinking. The money’s gotta come from somewhere, and it makes sense it be the same place it’s (supposed to be) coming from now.

Isn’t this the primary argument for universal basic income? If you’re keeping unnecessary jobs around just to give people something to do, you’re not actually keeping them for contributions to society… In the long run ubi could probably even be cheaper than paying to prop up obsolete and wholly unnecessary industries.

Yep, exactly.
Fuck you - if I’m paying to watch, I should get the very basic of features. Piracy is literally a better user experience right now.

Had no idea subtitles could be copyrighted separate from the film/media they’re subtitling (but, it does make sense when you think about it).
I agree with you completely: the current US copyright system is a joke that serves little purpose (in today’s media scape).

As a person who loves watching movies with subtitles, this is why I’m canceling Amazon Prime. The fuckers literally won’t offer me English language subtitles for some flicks because Iive outside the US.
I don’t care if the movie itself is in English, why the hell can’t I watch with subtitles in the same language as the film itself? Holy fuck.

- Comment on Smart Potties: High-Tech Toilets Offer a Futuristic Flush. One Costs $20,000. 6 months ago:
Or you can just buy a $300 Toto washlet that has all the same features, lol.
Most of these are just luxury models that come pre installed on some designer toilet. Get a normal toilet, install a basic washlet, and enjoy the benefits of the 20th century. (yes, I’m implying that if you only use toilet paper to clean yourself that you’re living a pre-20th century life. That’s okay, you do you)

- Comment on Matrix 2.0: Radically faster client, OAuth logins and native video calls 7 months ago:
Yeah, my home server has been running for more than a few years, and has been in a few large rooms - it’s gotten to the point that connecting takes upwards to a minute on the old client.
With Element X it takes around 3 to 4 seconds, regardless of room size. It’s delicious.
- Comment on Matrix 2.0: Radically faster client, OAuth logins and native video calls 7 months ago:
Element X implements most of the client side stuff mentioned above, but it doesn’t depend on a specific room version: instead, your homeserver must implement/run an additional service (a “sliding sync” proxy, a special binary written in Go that is deployed alongside Synapse) and then advertise that services existence.
If it does the latter, Element X will know where to connect and will function.
Note that this is only temporary so that people can make use of Sync V3 before it officially lands in Synapse. And it, technically, isn’t synapse exclusive either, as it’s its own thing.

- Comment on XMPP vs Matrix: Whose King of Federation? 7 months ago:
Yep, I’ve got 4gb of RAM and 2 vCPUs and am in Synapse Admins with 10.9k users. Sooo… Yeah?
Again, though, if you want to use XMPP just use it - stop lying to people to get them into your camp.
It’s not a fucking soccer team.
- Comment on XMPP vs Matrix: Whose King of Federation? 7 months ago:
It still exists; it’s fine - for all intents and purposes. It fizzled out because most of the features people wanted were optional extensions to the protocol, so you wouldn’t have every feature with every client/server.
Say what you want about Matrix, having one company pushing it with a core API and user-facing application that is “good enough” (I’m not a fan of Element myself, but it does the trick for normal people looking to sign up) makes it easier to adopt.
Case in point, check out the software page of the XMPP.org website. For each piece of software there’s a small dropdown showing you how compliant it is with each standard. That kind of decision making - beyond just “which one looks/feels the nicest” - is kind of what’s been holding XMPP back all these years. (in my opinion)
Shame, too, as XMPP has always been pretty great.
