Why does everything have to get shittier with every update? Now I have to create the new event entry with no reminders, and spend extra time going back into the event to add the reminders? This is an objectively worse way of doing a calendar entry. Possibly the clunkiest way to do it since an early palm pilot. Jfc I’m so tired.


Not making the default any better, but Fossify Calendar from the F-Droid store is nice.
Slop
Not slop. Just because someone decided to generate a readme or accept generated code doesn’t mean its slop.
The Fossify dev has been pretty clear that they review all the code that comes through before shipping it.
Hell, did you even read the link you posted?
You’re not going to talk it away bro. It’s sloppify now.
The commits start years before the advent of LLM, if it bothers you that much, you can fork the code at that commit.
At least is better than the closed source Google calendar, no?
And yet it’s still a great app…
Damn it! I’m getting real tired of almost every single FOSS Android app getting heavily slopped. Browsing F-Droid is becoming an exercise in frustration.
You think the non-FOSS apps, such as google calendar, aren’t getting slopped?
Some companies are more open about it, like Epic saying their employees should not write out any more code themselves. But I guarantee you that basically every corporate app out there contains lots of AI written code.
Not to defend AI usage, but just to say that you shouldn’t stick with big corporate apps if it’s slop you want to avoid.
Note, I’m not the same person who wrote the post, and I’ve been using as many open source apps as I can for a long time. I agree with you and I’m equally trying to avoid corporate apps. My comment was more a cry of frustration of that work becoming harder as the choices grow thinner.
Do you recommend some other FOSS calendar app then?
And Etar.

Given the question was about slop-free alternatives, this is not it. It has a skills, claude and other slop stuff in the .gitignore
Oh boy. It’s everywhere. Thanks!
