Thank you. This is the sort of thing I was looking for .

And your server/client combo probably require you to find some obscure forum post from 2009 and reading the man pages several times before you find that one specific fucking legacy parameter in some config file that has to be set.

Hmmm… I quickly emcountered guides for “workarounds” when DAV doesn’t work.

I have Nextcloud CalDAV working on iOS (the trick is to set up calendar and tasks separately). I can’t get Baikal Calendar to sync on ios.

This is what I was trying to get at: setting up calendar and task SHOULD be straightfoward and work across devices and OSes. It’s not.

You are probably the exception rather than the rule. Nextcloud, in my experience, is the only one that seems to work fairly well. Just look at the Issues on Github for apps that try to use CalDAV.

It’s more than the “proprietary apps”. It’s harder than it should be to simply sync calendar and tasks. The one that seems to work the most effectively is Nextcloud. By now there should be straightforward, easy to use (to host) solitions that just work.

I have tried hard to get Baikal to work across devices and had to admit defeat (works on some, not on others). I am running CalDAV most successfully using Nextcloud.

What’s your set up with CalDav? What devices do you run it on?

I was about to say this. Strange how you seem to be the only one (so far) to suggest this sensible solution.

Thanks for the info. These sort of things are always difficult. A bit like finding out a favourite musician breaks a boycott or has dodgy ideas but makes great music.

I wasn’t aware of the issues with the Lemmy devs. Some of the original posts about them don’t seem accessible. Is the issue because they are pretty pro-Chinese government?

It works fine. Not many videos there - but it’s early days. It doesn’t seem to be a desktop app. Works through the Loops app.

By now companies must know that games based on an IP are almost always trash. Usually the IP-games that are supposedly great turn out to have have average gameplay and marketed hard with advertising spends larger than the development costs ( cough I’m looking at you Spider-Man).

Absolutely. I held out until Starfield was released and when I played and realised Starfield had been massively overhyped, I let my Game Pass sub run out. Completely agree that buying a couple of great games is a much better idea. I’ve also been picking up older games I’d missed at CEX very cheaply and have enjoyed those much more than anything on Game Pass.

Is anyone still playing this?

I had a PS3 when I played DCUO and even then it was beginning to lose players.

Saying that, I’d be interested to see what it was like a decade later.

Shrinkflation!

I’d be interested to know whether this will have an actual monetary gain for MS or whether it’s a panic response to falling revenues.

Can someone point the direction of info about the differences between buying Starfield outright or just Game Pass. Is there a difference?

Does Lemmy use markdown? (If so, why didn’t I know this???!!!)
