henk | does an entry in the People app really need a first or last name? company name can not be enough on its own? | 15:50 |
---|---|---|
henk | that seems so dumb that I’m not sure that it isn’t me who is being dumb about it … am I missing anything? | 15:51 |
tadzik | you may not be missing anything: I implemented a carddav client a while ago and your usecase was also something I needed to patch in later :P | 15:55 |
tadzik | but yeah, apparently it's not clever enough to turn the company into an FN by itself | 15:56 |
henk | unbelievable o_O | 16:00 |
tadzik | :) I find it amusing becuase not so long ago I was thinking "wtf, why would anyone do this" | 16:04 |
tadzik | now it's quite obvious to me, but at the beginning when I knew that a vCard Must contain a "Fullname" component, I interpreted it as "at least one of the name-related fields should be filled in so that I can at least partially construct this" | 16:04 |
tadzik | and now my code is full of hacks like this. It there's no name, but there's a company name, set fullname to company name. Etc | 16:05 |
tadzik | Apple even has its own extension for that, X-SHOWAS:COMPANY or something like that | 16:06 |

tadzik | ah, this is great :) | 16:44 |
tadzik | I, too, like being told that my name is invalid | 16:44 |
henk | why? | 16:44 |
tadzik | especially in context. System: "Type your name EXACTLY as it is on your credit card". Me: <types in "Soś...">. System: "No, not like that, no pls" | 16:45 |
tadzik | I have non-ascii letters in it :) | 16:45 |
henk | how dare you! that’s not freedom-country-compatible! | 16:49 |
tadzik | I should've sticked to emojis | 17:09 |
henk | hrhr | 17:28 |
