Why are calendars all so shitty?
Why are calendars all so shitty? - Lemmy.World
I’ve been working on my privacy setup and breaking away from Proton. There are a bunch of email providers I looked at, same with email aliases, password managers, etc. But I don’t understand the state of calendars. It feels like they’re always shoved into email services, and they’re all so crappy looking. I was able to find one or two Android apps that are open source, and they look like they’re 20 years old. Proton Calendar, for all its faults, looks really good. Why, in 2025, is there no simple calendar as a service with nothing else included? And why do the UIs all look like complete trash? I don’t get it. Can’t one of us hire an intern to take a week to learn a CSS framework and create a decent calendar UI? Am I missing something?
If your Proton password is your encryption key, why couldn't Proton theoretically use it to decrypt your data?

AFAIK when you log in to Proton, you send them your password, they do the standard hashing and checking against the hash stored in their database, and if it matches them they let you log in by sending you a token of some sort. If the your password is your encryption key, and if at some point Proton needs your plaintext password in order for you to log in, then doesn’t that mean they still have a way to access your data? They could take the plaintext password and decrypt everything in your account without you knowing, right?

Do bike tires increase pressure in summerm
Do bike tires increase pressure in summerm - Lemmy.World
I know bike tires will lose pressure in colder seasons because the air temp causes the pressure to drop, but is the inverse true? Does bike tire pressure go up in summer due to heat? If so, do I need to deflate the tires a bit in summer? Do bike tires ever explode because of a temperature change?
I'm disappointed with Third Wave Water
I'm disappointed with Third Wave Water - Lemmy.World
Not with their end product - the powder itself is excellent. But every little packet is plastic, and doesn’t have to be. The world has such a serious problem with plastics, and for a lot of products it’s kind of necessary, but this is not one of them. Restaurants have had the same size single serving packets for sugar, salt, and pepper for decades now and those are paper, which is much more environmentally friendly. It’s even better for usability! With paper, I don’t need to go find my scissors like I do for TWW’s plastic packets. I asked TWW if they would consider using paper instead, but got a generic reply that they’ll bring it up, but evidently nothing has been done about this. Is anyone else as disappointed as I am with their use of plastic packets? I care a lot about having clean water for my coffee, and I care just as much about not polluting the rest of the world because of it.
