Companies have decided to cut the crap and just focus on their core mission of being evil
I would only want actual state/local holidays anyway.
If I actually care about an event I am more than capable to set the event mysekf (e.g. Sysadmin day)
Honestly I wish they had a setting for only federal holidays. The ones where banks close.
I also want to be able to switch back to general holidays too though. These people at google are chicken shit cowards.

It’s a shame, but fuck Google regardless of this :)
Just shows that companies show their support to please the people in power and that’s just []-washing
Opinions are still divided on whether companies should have a political opinion
Is there an alternative to Google Drive that doesn't lock me into using MS Office. I particularly need to ability to share and edit files online.
Tuta is supposed to be developing one that’s using their post-quantum encryption but it’s been 2 years so, womp.
AES is already post quantum crypto so that sounds a bit marketingy.
Their tuta email already is post quantum so it’s not that they can’t do the security part. Idk honestly, it’s probably just the logistics of getting a lot more servers if they’re trying to make a secure cloud. I just know they posted they’ll be developing that in the future 2 years ago, now would be a great time for it to release as an alternative.
Sooooo.
Any recommendations on a replacement for Google calendar?
I've got shot of maps with that Gulf of Mexico business. The search engine due to ads, the mail client for the same reasons (still using the mail address but Fairmail as a client).
Nextcloud Has been fairly reliable for me
I use ~~Simple Calendar from Simple Mobile Tools.~~ Fossify Calendar.
It has been bought. Please switch to fossify apps. Same dev and foss.

I don't understand why was this ever a thing. Fuck google, and fuck rainbow washing. They never really cared, and where just taking advantage of a noble cause.
