I just configured @thunderbird on my Linux laptop to connect to my family iCloud calendar, and it seems to work pretty well!
The setup was a bit involved though. Any chance this might be solved by the new Account Hub in the future?
Are you using a password manager from
@1password, @bitwarden, @dashlane, #EnPass, #iCloud Passwords, @KeeperSecurity, #LastPass, @nordpass @protonprivacy or @roboform ?
Then you better check this and make sure that your web browser extension is up to date: https://marektoth.com/blog/dom-based-extension-clickjacking/
Brits agree to change course, but Tim still shtum.
The U.S. administration is celebrating a “mutually beneficial understanding” with the #UK, meaning #Apple won’t need to backdoor #iCloud. (As we learned six months ago, those pesky Brits were demanding Apple break its end-to-end encryption, also known as Advanced Data Protection—#ADP.) National intelligence director Tulsi Gabbard and White House veep JD Vance seem happy about it, anyway.
However, it’s not entirely clear that anything’s really changed. In #SBBlogwatch, we doctor the spin.

I have Asinine Idiocy (“AI”) disabled and #iCloud also mostly disabled, so what on earth is actually abusing and eating all this data? If actually necessary, this sort of really large system usage should only ever be on WiFi, not costly mobile data. 2/2
