Great, can it also automatically filter out AI slop and block the sender, just like I do to regular old spam that’s also impersonal, robotic and soulless? Because that would be great.

How many military orphanages, military preschools and military press tents are they planning to strike this time? Are military supermarkets, military food banks and military temples also on the target list, or not this time?

This one is surely the last straw, right? This is when Israel starts facing consequences for their war crimes, right? Right?!

Oh, wrong? Put it on the pile of war crimes over there then, right next to the pile of money from Uncle Sam they got to perpetrate even more crimes…

And I bet at least one of them had a Hamas command center hidden in his back pocket too!

Thanks, here’s hoping! I love it as a phone, but I suspect it might be another app showing the icon - there should be no way for a disabled app to do so…

Anyway, I’ll keep casually digging, maybe start disabling apps one by one to see which one is the culprit or something :)

Factory reset is out of the question - I spent way too much time installing and setting everything up after changing phones to nuke it all (because Google sucks and doesn’t allow backing all the settings and such without root, but that’s a rant for another day).

I did reboot the phone, yes, multiple times - after turning calendar notifications off, disabling the app and so on. No dice, the icon keeps coming back. Oh well, guess I’ll have to get used to it - it’s a distracting eyesore, but the phone is working fine. Maybe it fixes itself after the update to Android 15…

Thanks a bunch for all the suggestions and willingness to help - appreciate it!

That didn’t work unfortunately - my Google calendar is actually completely empty, no tasks, notifications or anything. Cleared app data, even tried force stopping and disabling the app completely (can’t fully uninstall it, since it’s system), but the darn icon is still there. Maybe I just need to learn to live with it, even though it annoys me…

That’s a great find, thanks! The problem is, I don’t actually have any tasks scheduled right now, and the icon never disappears. Disabling calendar notifications completely doesn’t hide it either, I even tried disabling the calendar app completely, and still nothing…

This clickbait title will make you (or at least me) not want to click the link because it sounds like a shitty ad!💥🔥🍄

A step in the right direction, but not nearly good enough. They should be paid for all the time they are required to follow instructions by their employer - basically from the second they leave the locker room in their uniform, right until they dress back into their private clothes after finishing work.

That’s how it worked when I was working in automotive industry way back when (the clock in/clock out terminal was right next to the locker room door), and that’s how it should work for flight attendants, pilots and everyone else too. Everything else is labor theft IMHO.

Put it on the pile: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_lines_in_the_Russo-Ukrainian_War

Amen to that. I’m not a busy CEO of four companies, I don’t need or want an assistant, digital or otherwise. I want to read through articles and watch videos, I can scroll/fast-forward through myself if I feel like it. And while we’re at it, I don’t really need or want personalized anything - just give me ALL the search results and I’ll sort through them myself. Luddite? Maybe, but I literally cannot think of a case where this would be useful or helpful to me…

So he basically banned education and sex from sex ed classes, got it. Next step - banning Arabic (gasp!) numerals from math classes and prohibition of mentioning any other countries apart from USA and Israel during geography lessons?

A big reason I replaced my old S10+ with a battery that wouldn’t even hold half a day with Xperia 1 VI is that it has both the headphone jack AND an SD card slot. Might be the only flagship left that has both…

It does, doesn’t it? Too bad it’s just going to look like two cacti next to each other after planting, but oh well…

They used to have invite threads on Reddit - that’s how I got mine when the API changes were announced. I think it was in Reddit alternatives subreddit? Not sure, haven’t been back since. If there’s still a thread (and if the subreddit even exists still), asking there might work.

I don’t know (or, frankly, care much) about the “why”, and I like Lemmy the way it is, but if your looking for deeper discussion and longer posts I do recommend Tildes, if you can get an invite: https://tildes.net/ It’s not open to the public, so the post volume is quite low, but most responses are well thought out, longer and often thought-provoking. I don’t post much there, but enjoy reading it a lot.

It’s a tephrocactus - most of them look pretty crazy and I love them for it :)

It was sold as Aeonium dordantale, but it might be aureum too, as Plum mentions!

Server doesn’t really matter much (to me), but I’m on toot.community because I’m mentally a child and like the funny name :)

App-wise, I really enjoy Moshidon, been using the nightly version for a while now: https://github.com/LucasGGamerM/moshidon
