Idea: map of conferences
Some people track conferences they want to attend in calendars.
What if you could also explore a map to find interesting events nearby?
Markers would have a link, an icon and a label.
The link could point to a calendar entry in turn.
I bet that already exists somehow, but I don't see it much.
E.g. the Rust website could have that for all Rust conferences.
Or CCC for all the hacking community events in Germany.

Why the hell do I constantly have problems with KDE Plasma and that piece of crap Akonadi???? Constant error messages, crashes, etc. whenever I try to connect to a calendar! It doesn't matter at all whether I try the Nextcloud Calendar, iCloud Calendar, or Google Calendar. And when I remove an online calendar, everything freezes—the entire KDE desktop. I’ve had this problem for years, no matter which version of KDE I use. I never have these kinds of problems with GNOME or GNOME Calendar.…
The security company LayerX has found a critical vulnerability in Anthropic’s Claude Desktop Extensions (DXT). A manipulated Google Calendar entry can execute arbitrary code on the computer without any user interaction. Although the vulnerability received the highest possible severity rating of 10 out of 10 on the common CVSS, Anthropic does not intend to fix the problem for the time being:

#iOS question for Europeans: does Calendar app work use the Google Maps app as the default navigation app?
I have set Google Maps as default navigation ap.
I have removed Apple Maps completely.
When I click an address in Calendar, it errors out: "No Navigation App Installed".
I believe this might be another opportunity to emphasize: 1) 💩 quality of Apple software; 2) I hope 🇪🇺 will make it pay for it.

Amazon appears to mistakenly alert some AWS employees about planned layoffs in an email invite to a Wednesday "Project Dawn" meeting about company efficiency (Business Insider)

Just had a "why didn't I think of this sooner?"-moment. Having moved my mail away from Google, I sometimes missed having web access. I then remembered my free Nextcloud account at Tab Digital and ... there's an IMAP client. Added my work calendar as well, so I can quickly get an overview. I wish I could hook up my Filen storage to Nextcloud, as I already have documents there. It may be possible, but if it is, I haven't found where to do it yet.
Calendar apps should let individuals rename shared events for themselves, without renaming the event for all the invitees. If I have coffee with Sally, the same event should be named “Paul coffee” for Sally and “Sally coffee” for me.
Do any calendar clients out there do this? It seems so obvious. Am I just missing it?

Anyone know of an Android to-do list application that is
* Completely device local, no network connectivity required or used
* No ads or spyware
* Doesn't time-out tasks even if they sit around for a year uncompleted (looking at you, google calendar)
* Supports recurring maintenance tasks for weekly, monthly, etc. cleaning or something
Open source preferred, but willing to pay a reasonable price if it's out there as a commercial tool

That moment when it is 7:00am and you have it strongly in your brain that YOU HAVE A MEETING AT 8:00 AM... and yet your phone's calendar doesn't show it.
So... ASSUMING the calendar failed, as they do sometimes... you pull out your computer... and find the 8am appt is NOT there either...
... and then you remember that **YOU** MOVED IT TO MONDAY! 🤣🤦♂️
The good news is that I now have an hour more this morning for work than I thought I did an hour ago! 🤣
After freeing up today for a personal priority appointment that was cancelled, I have zero work appointments in my calendar.
So I've decided to work from home and clock off early for the weekend. A morning of admin and writing awaits me...

Congratulations to YDS Professor Volker Leppin, who is receiving an honorary degree from United Lutheran Seminary on May 23! Hard to imagine a more worthy recipient given his biography of Martin Luther ("Martin Luther: A Late Medieval Life") and his essays on Luther and mysticism, not to mention the fact he is a pastor in the ELCA.
Being a #SEPA fanboy, I find an unreasonable joy in scheduling an instant euro bank transfer to happen within 10 seconds from a date months in the future, for zero fees of course. (Mostly because I can make a monthly payment always on the same calendar day of the month, even if it is a bank holiday.)

Good Morning #Canada
Today is National Toast Day, like you didn't have it circled on your fake holiday calendar. Canadians consume approximately 1.4 billion kilograms of #Bread annually which sounds like a lot until you compare us with Turkey where per capita consumption is almost 200 kilos annually. Bread consumption in Canada was down slightly in 2025, attributed to higher prices due to tariffs. But home baking and shopping at local bakeries all increased. Healthier bread options also increased their market share as customers opted for high-fibre ingredients and foods enriched with prebiotics, probiotics, postbiotics... and a bunch-of-other-otics. It may be good news that there are plenty of gut-friendly options available in the shape of whole grain and rich-in-fibre bakery products, but IMO a lot of them taste like cardboard. I said it... not sorry...
