henkdoes an entry in the People app really need a first or last name? company name can not be enough on its own?15:50
henkthat 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
tadzikyou 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 :P15:55
tadzikbut yeah, apparently it's not clever enough to turn the company into an FN by itself15:56
henkunbelievable o_O16:00
tadzik:) I find it amusing becuase not so long ago I was thinking "wtf, why would anyone do this"16:04
tadziknow 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
tadzikand 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. Etc16:05
tadzikApple even has its own extension for that, X-SHOWAS:COMPANY or something like that16:06

tadzikah, this is great :)16:44
tadzikI, too, like being told that my name is invalid16:44
henkwhy?16:44
tadzikespecially 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
tadzikI have non-ascii letters in it :)16:45
henkhow dare you! that’s not freedom-country-compatible!16:49
tadzikI should've sticked to emojis17:09
