Of mild interest, see my comments about the "death timer" that I made on Twitter back in March 2022 when Epic bought Bandcamp to begin with. Post #5 was dead on I guess 🤷♀️

Capitalism be like "it's not okay to pay a sex worker with your credit card but it is okay for a car manufacturer to sell sex tapes of you having sex in your car made without your consent to unidentified third parties"
If any spreadsheet software already does this, please do let me know. I've many times wanted to plot events from for example a csv file on a calendar/schedule view.
Seems like it wouldn't be that hard to implement as a new kind of chart, that takes columns for start + end time, or start + duration, and a column for labels and renders that as a schedule or calendar.
I can't understand why no spreadsheet software out there have a way of displaying a table of events as a schedule/calendar.

(Seriously teach kids tech literacy in school, yes they are surrounded by tech from birth basically but it's like all phones and tablets for the majority of them, not desktop OSes)

every morning I wake up and read a series of articles about all the massive data breaches from the previous 24 hours.
once I'm done reading those I move on to the articles about the latest government efforts to legislate mandatory backdoors in encryption.
