Yesterday, I gave a talk, at FOSDEM, about JMAP for contact and calendar data. The video is online now: https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/3JQKHF-jmap-for-everything/

So Pixies influenced! So sleazy! (Their grungey-slow-grind cover of Darling Nikki is just... *chef's kiss*.) Tricky co-wrote/produced half their first album, before Maxinquaye...
