So, I have Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS and since I live in 21th century I would like to use calendar. Google calendar. I know, it is not privacy wise, but I know what I am doing.
So, I use Gnome Calendar application. On my phone I set up an event - and since I live in Central Europe, CET time zone is set. Which is nice and good. (Here I must mention, that I have the correct setting for timezone on my phone and my desktop computer!). Then this calendar entry gets synchronized with my precious Ubuntu desktop... and I decide to add a small note. So I did that (added a note, not changed anything else), and Gnome Calendar just set the timezone to... Algiers! I assume this is because Algiers is the first country on a list of timezones. So I started to wonder how to manually set timezone in Gnome Calendar. Guess what? You can't. Because very smart people of Ubuntu decided this is something that should be set as a system setting. Let's try not to bother user with numerous settings... Let's pretend user is stupid and The Machine will think instead of user or guess what user would like to do... which is quite fine, until stupid Machine starts doing crap or something goes wrong! Exactly this happens when developers think that The Machine knows better than user does! So my question is very simple... how to tell Gnome Calendar to always use my manually set time zone??? Because of this stupidity I missed some important meetings in the past! Oh, and BTW, when can we expect a working (!) Google calendar integration to Thunderbird (which is default Ubuntu mail app)?
