@aqeel Having a stand-alone calendar makes better sense to me now. Specially after all the difficulties I had to go through last couple of weeks

@aqeel I am on Ubuntu 18.04 and there is no update available so far. I am in the process of moving to Gnome Calendar.

Well, #Gnome desktop already has a very neat calendar. It also works well with #Nextcloud! And then there is this super complex and feature-rich #KOganizer . I think I'll give #GnomeCalendar a try.
Problem almost solved :-)

@aqeel #Lightning isn't compatible with #Thunderbird 60.2.1. This has been the case for the past two or three weeks

So #Lightning is out of commission. It is time to start looking for a replacement calendar application that doesn't depend on or is not an add-on of another application. In other words, a stand-alone calendar. It should also sync with #Nextcloud
Fedizens and tweeps, can you recommend me anything ?

#Lightning has been disabled because it still lags way behind the recent upgrades to #Thunderbird. My schedules, calendars and tasks are all over the place :-S

Process of creating these:
1/ load up canvas with blue, black, and white acrylic. Brush it around a bit.
2/ Use a cloth/soft brush to blend it until it resembles space imagery
3/ chalk on rough lines to follow
4/ go over the chalk lines with acrylic ink pens (somewhat translucent but firm edges)
5/ go over ink lines with acrylic paint using a fine brush to bolden the lines. -

Snowden's motivations don't really matter. He himself said early on that he could be the worst person imaginable, but that's beside the point which was the content of the disclosures and the huge gap in public understanding of how governments use bulk surveillance against their own populations.
It's easy to do lazy character assassinations on Wikileaks people. Assange himself seems like a dubious sort of character. But Wikileaks at its height around about 2010 did contribute something to public understanding which didn't exist previously. They also probably saved Snowden's life.
If there are lessons from Wikileaks it's that:
* The wiki idea didn't work. It's hard to wikify investigative journalism, which it turns out is an actual job and not easy to do on a voluntary basis.
* Transparency of institutions is good but on its own is not enough
* Revealing the dubious characteristics of governments does not necessarily change their behavior. There is not necessarily any democratic leverage from data availability.
* Creating a celebrity figurehead for your organization is a losing strategy which creates more problems than it solves. It would have been better if the figurehead of Wikileaks had been an anonymous-style computer animation of some harmless looking news reader. You can't imprison or character assassinate an animation. -
