I was always surprised why there is not a way to sync #calendars and #contacts in #android without an app.
Although there are FOSS apps that work well, I'd expect that such a basic feature would be something the OS would do out of the box, specially considering the OS already provides an abstraction for "accounts".
For #degoogled #androidROM it makes even more sense, since most likely users will sync contact and calendar from a "custom" #caldav #carddav service.

The issue here is that 28 days doesn't match up with any lunar cycles. The synodic month is a shade over 29½ days long, so any timekeeping system that synchronises with the phases of the moon will have months of 29 or 30 days.

The sidereal and draconic months are just over 27 days long; months that synchronise with those moon cycles will occasionally be 28 days long, but will more often have 27 days.

Polynesians kept time by the moon; each lunar month had a particular name and meaning corresponding to the season in which it fell, but there was no real concept of years until Europeans came along.

The Kiowa appear to have been the opposite. They kept pictorial records of history, with standard symbols to indicate summer and winter, and a picture to represent the most significant event of the season: kiowacalendars.org/calendars

As the Gregorian year 2024 draws to a close, I would like to make ye aware that there is a better way to mark time. And I don't mean leap week calendars, or calendars that have days outside the week, or any of that crap which would make everybody's lives more awkward in order to make things slightly neater for companies.

No, we're going back to the time of the Abbasid Caliphate.

MastodonDEtuxwise (@tuxwise@mastodon.de)(1/N) With more challenging times ahead, the #4D​s will become more important, too: ✋ **Defend** your boundaries: know what matters to you, and properly safeguard it – instead of being an alert-driven option tinkerer. 🪪 **Define** yourself: use multiple identities that focus on a single purpose each – instead of having everything you do, have and think linked back directly to you. 👑 **Decide** like a sovereign: get to know your needs, and what meets them best – instead of sacrificing them to the interests of others. 🌐 **Dwell** the space: seek community, practice solidarity and citizenship – instead of being beaten a little later than others, in a glorious bunker. In the future, I'll post a few ideas and suggestions based on the 4Ds. BTW, I have dropped the adjective "#digital" from my vocabulary. There is no more separate "digital sphere" or "cyberspace" that wasn't part of our everyday lives. #privacy #security #anonymity
