Say goodbye to Google and say hello to privacy!
I've noticed that, surprisingly, the hardest Google service to replace is the Google Calendar. Is there any other cross-device, cross-platform calendar system which can be integrated into almost any existing calendar GUI (Android and Linux desktop) front-end?
Any web-only solutions for both email and calendar suck big time...

Senator Schiff’s early votes to confirm some cabinet-level nominees have caused great concern among constituents. However, we haven’t been able to reach the senator or his staff in person or by phone to voice those concerns. We’ve only been able to leave voicemails, and some of us have received boilerplate responses to email.
Please contact Senator Schiff and tell him: improve your communications & stop voting for the Trump agenda!

Worker Jobs: UpdateContacts it never ends
Hello , @Friendica Support
It's been more than 2 months since UpdateContacts the one highlighted in red it doesn't end , can you tell me how i can remove it?
Thanks
@Anomaly Deferred tasks aren't currently running. They failed during they initial run, which placed them in this wait list with a next try date in the future. From your screenshot it appears that the task creation date and the next try date are pretty close to each other, so it must only have failed a few times at most.
Running either the worker or the daemon manually will not clear deferred tasks which next try date have not been reached yet. There's an incremental back off system that increases the delay before the next try after each new failure. Once the task succeeds, the task will clear from the deferred list.
yes I thought this, but why has this entry been in the list for 2 months? All entries are successfully completed .
I have no problems with friendica, if this entry does not cause problems,can be on the list

“The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy, the empathy exploit,” Musk said. “There it’s they’re exploiting a bug in Western civilization, which is the empathy response.”
-Elon Musk, Feb 28, 2025
“In my work with the defendants (at the Nuremberg Trials 1945-1949) I was searching for the nature of evil and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy. It’s the one characteristic that connects all the defendants, a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.”
-Captain G. M. Gilbert, the Army psychologist assigned to watching the defendants at the Nuremberg trials
In Germany, where 85 percent of the population say they trust the French, only 16 percent now say they trust the US.
Meanwhile in Denmark a new Berlingske poll came out where 92 percent of Danes say, we need to focus on Europe — not the US — when it comes to security. Only 3 percent disagree.
Trump is completely rebranding the US as an Oblast of Russia.
I haven't seen this getting passed around, and IT SHOULD BE!

Why can't that be an app which monitors mobil cells and its parameters (position, network tech version, etc.) I passing by?
If these parameters are shared (of course optionally) it would also be possible to map radio towers and cell specifics on OSM or similar map services for easier checkups...
