Is there a way to set recurring tasks (daily, every Wednesday etc) in #NextCloud tasks?
-
@afewbugs There's one thing that I can somewhat, only a bit, accept as an excuse for talking about NextCloud in particular: It operates on CalDAV Standards and the Tasks part of that ... sucks badly. Like, terrible. I've not been happy with any of CalDAV synced Tasks because not only is support shoddy, but for exactly the reason you give.
However, NextCloud could – as any one of the stakeholders – try to push for something different or find ways to enable this use case better.
Case in point: What do people use for such tasks? Alarms are... hard to manage. Calendar entries are overwhelming. I try paper but I forget too often.

@suearcher @kitten_tech This was all before my time so I didn't witness it, but we did have to live with the consequences when I was working there which were that the top floor of the building was unbearably hot every summer due to being encased in a hastily erected greenhouse
@afewbugs @suearcher @kitten_tech that sounds like the shiny PFI hospital in my home town. Tony Blair was *so proud* of the whole thing.
But they gave the atrium a glass roof three stories high. This did not impress the receptionists expected to work there when they were sweating so much they struggled to hold onto the phones. Neither were they at all happy with the absolute cacophony every time it rained, meaning they were shouting sensitive information to patients to be heard.
The rest of the building was similarly unsuitable. The doors were only just wide enough to get a hospital bed through. Porters had to work out complicated ways of opening the door, holding it with one foot, squeezing the bed through, and then going after it. They could have had extra space for wide, swinging doors, but they wasted so much on the damned atrium! -

Considering it apparently takes 7 or 8 years to qualify as an Architect, you'd think they'd be taught some useful stuff at some point.

If something has won architecture awards, I know it's probably inaccessible for me at a sensory level while being "accessible" on paper cos our regulations are minimal.

Org-mode has good recurrence, plus/minus all the decisions being right there in the text file.
It’s interesting comparing how org-mode and Todoist handle some things that aren’t obvious re. what we want the system to “just do”

It’s MORE interesting, cough cough, that there are *two* open and well established task systems with recurrence and it still isn’t managed by a big attempt. (Meaning org-mode and cron. )

Possibly an urban myth, but an award winning building in the US intended to be a university library never got used as such because the architect overlooked that books weigh quite a lot and the floor decks were not strong enough...

Pretty sure this one is myth. I heard it back in the late 80s about our college campus library, which was in fine condition

Yes, I heard it about the University of York library, which was built on the side of a slope and the story was that once the books were added it started sliding downwards.

@rbairwell @afewbugs @suearcher @kitten_tech none of the above.
I would be utterly unsurprised if the same poor design was used multiple times. -

@jetlagjen @suearcher @afewbugs @kitten_tech yup, never mind the acoustics are horrific, there is mega sunlight glare or evil spotlights, or that the doors are bastard heavy cos they cheaped out on electronic door openers.

The door at one of the local motor factors has a sign in English and Romanian, Albanian, Polish and a few other languages because it opens inwards rather than outwards - it must be pulled to open (which isn't immediately obvious) and you are very likely to be carrying something like brake discs (they are heavy!), a starter battery, bulk oil - I was thinking about how this design has caused an entire worlds worth of mechanics to curse it (although if there are many people inside those in the queue usually hold open the door for whoever has heavy stuff)

When New Addenbrooke's was built there was stuff in the news about how many hundreds of different designs of door were needed for all the different functions.

@vfrmedia @NatalyaD @jetlagjen @suearcher @kitten_tech that's amazing. The entire world, united in their hatred of one shitty door.

As a cleaner, married to a caretaker, I can assert that architects have never had to clean or maintain a building....
I am told that a reliable technique for learning new swear words is to ask a firefighter about architects.

Sadly there seem to be quite a few people who like that shitty president, billionaires etc. Of course they're the SAME fuckers who like evil buildings, cos they never have to use them, they always have a nice cosy vintage style office with perfect for them temperature control, lighting, furniture, comfort and of course staff to run around after their every whim.
