Recomendations for Calender app
Hi all.
Currently using microsoft products on a work laptop however I'm looking for an open source alternative for a calendar app.
At a min. I would want to it work on android and/or BOTH windows 11 and Linux Mint (so it would cover usage for both partner and myself). I'm a 'plug and play' sort of person when it comes to Linux so nothing too complicated.
If it can sync between devices that would be great but not a deal breaker in any way.
All other functionality is fine to be bare bones, I don't need it to do reminders or send email, just a basic calendar
Any suggestions and thanks all.
*edit. Spelling.

Back in the day all it took was making the effort to show up and giving a firm handshake. Now there are thousands of applicants and about four or five jobs.

in reply to CosmicTurtle0 [he/him] • • •Do whatever you need to do. Lie on your resume; use AI; automate job applications; rewrite your resume using any tool you can find. It’s a cutthroat environment and I don’t envy anyone trying to find a job right now. Someone I know has been trying for a year and a half and still nothing.
The tech capitalists have captured full control of the industry and they now hold all of the leverage. We don’t have the room we once did for bargaining.
Also, when you do a peer review, say nothing but positive things unless the person is vile. Support fellow working class folks. We can struggle together.

You don’t have to accept AI as inevitable.

in reply to CosmicTurtle0 [he/him] • • •My partner applied for a job that said people with a certain training course were preferred. She said that she had that course even though she did not, she got an interview and ended up getting the job a few weeks back and starts next week.
She took the course after she got accepted, as it was a few hundred dollars that would have been a waste of money if she hadn't got the job.
Lying is acceptable to get employed within reason.

in reply to Havald • • •The job just said people had to be willing to take the course but people with it already were preferred so she just wrote in her application she had it.
It would have dropped her below other people to not have it so she kept herself on top.

Schrödinger's corporations: corporations are people and and not people, depending on how much money they stand to gain or lose.

in reply to Mossheart • • •I can't remember the court case per se but it involved a self driving car hitting a pedestrian I think.
My cursory search on Google seems to now show companies being held liable for AI hallucinations, with one court case currently pending where an AI chat bot encouraged a teen to commit suicide.
Given our current administration and make up of SCOTUS I'm not holding my breath.
