as a USER OF CALENDARS I want EVERY CALENDAR SYSTEM TO BE INCOMPATIBLE so that I can

CONTINUE TO LOSE MY FUCKIN MIND SYNCING CALENDARS MANUALLY

@hazelweakly I also want my contacts to be weirdly synched between my mail and my phone overlapping between my personnal and professionnal account.
Oh and of course every contact format should be badly localised AND incompatible with every other one!

@hazelweakly I use a tool called "Outlook Google Calendar sync" to sync Outlook and Google calendar and it works pretty well.

@Rednivar ahh unfortunately I have to use a Mac or this would be very interesting

@hazelweakly that's like the killer feature!

Tim Apple, Bill Google, and Roger Microsoft are all laughing at us.

@jargoggles laugh at the peasants who can't afford to hire a calendaring human

@hazelweakly It's honestly misogyny because it just makes more work for women, who, I'm guessing are the majority of calendar users (only half joking here)

hazelweakly,
@hazelweakly@hachyderm.io avatar

@artcollisions given that about half my calendar complexity comes from "women related things" like childcare, yeah, you're not wrong. It's ridiculous

My roommate uses apple calendar, my work uses Outlook, I use Google calendar, and absolutely nothing works to sync anything together in a sensible way. Oh, I also often want to export a merged calendar view or share it with other people for planning purposes. HAAAAHHHH

@hazelweakly You might want to have a look at https://teamup.com - though I might be biassed...

We will terraform mars and cure cancer before we figure out how to get 4 different companies to band together out of the goodness of humanity and actually make calendar software interoperable

@hazelweakly "cure calendar" is a spectacular thinko.

hazelweakly,
@hazelweakly@hachyderm.io avatar

@mhoye rip. That's what I get for typing when mad.

"Cure calendar" would 1000% be my presidential campaign slogan though

@hazelweakly "We're cancelling time zones and switching to base-10 swatch time."

@mhoye @hazelweakly is this the package that also has guillotining the aristocracy or nah

@thatandromeda @hazelweakly It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was also strangely metric time.

@thatandromeda @mhoye @hazelweakly "While the engineering required to reconfigure our planet as effectively flat is not trivial, we believe the benefits merit consideration. Beyond elimination of timezones, for example, there is the matter of uniform spacing of both latitude and longitude..."

@hazelweakly sounds like a startup idea to me. I got ideas now.

ramona,

@hazelweakly I don't think "companies" and "goodness" are things that go together

@hazelweakly tbf the calendar problem is the main reason i am still on gmail...

isotopp,
@isotopp@chaos.social avatar

@hazelweakly but here is the thing. We won't terraform Mars. The project will fail due to synchronization issues between the corporations involved, due to calendar incompatibilities

isotopp,
@isotopp@chaos.social avatar

@hazelweakly now let's hear how you will solve the problem once you achieve world domination and become supreme ruler of the solar system

hazelweakly,
@hazelweakly@hachyderm.io avatar

@isotopp just put the furries in charge. Give it a few weeks and we'll have zero trust security, passkeys, full authentication, full syncing between every calendar system known to humanity, and intergalactic peace

hazelweakly,
@hazelweakly@hachyderm.io avatar

@isotopp unfortunately there's like a 23.7% chance they put "learning nix" in the school curriculum. But that's a small price to pay overall

MichaelTBacon,
@MichaelTBacon@social.coop avatar

@hazelweakly It’s all bad but Outlook is the absolute worst about this.

hazelweakly,
@hazelweakly@hachyderm.io avatar

@MichaelTBacon outlook is pretty bad, for sure. I haven't found a way to sync it or Apple in any sensible manner basically at all
