Every day that word gets cheapened to the detriment of Jewish people everywhere.

This was going to be my next port of call but another comment caused me to figure out that if was a scheduled signal message.

Thanks. I was about to do this but another comment caused me to check scheduled messages. It was signal.

Edit: I went in here to look anyway and this would have definitely caught it. Thanks for the suggestion.

Just updated the comment above yours. It was a scheduled message in signal. Thanks!

OK now we’re getting somewhere. I don’t have that chronological order thing but I do have an icons section and in there is alarm. When I disable that it disappears. It must be an alarm of some sort that’s not in the clock app.

There is no upcoming alarm in my drop down either.

I’ll dig further.

Edit: Found that history. I went back 5 days and nothing that is alarm related. I did eventually check if I had any scheduled messages and I had one in signal. Sent it and the icon disappeared so thanks very much!

Weird thing for signal to do IMO but at least it’s solved.

That’s my experience from seeing it before. It eventually just went away and I couldn’t figure out why it was there or what would have caused it to go.

At least I’m not alone.

No, nothing like that. I don’t generally use my phone in complex ways. Like I’m a geek but the phone is mostly texting, calls, movies and Lemmy.

I’ll update the thread if some reminder does come up later but I’ve had this icon before and no “oh that’s what it is” moment after I notice it’s gone.

No. Double checked. No timers either. Rebooted the phone to see if it’s still there and it is.

Hmmm. I don’t have any automation apps installed. Can’t think of anything else I might have scheduled. No backups or anything like that. I thought maybe WhatsApp scheduled backup because I know that’s a thing but it’s off.

Network time all the way. Good idea though.

I used to have a clock app from f-droid installed but got rid of it ages ago as it wasn’t working properly for alarms. Double checked and I did uninstall it back then.

Scrolled through all my other apps (I run a relatively tidy ship so it didn’t take too long) and I can’t see anything that I think would be setting an alarm.

Great idea. Off to do that and hard kill the app. Will report back.

Edit: cleared cache and data and forced stop. No joy :(

Oh thank goodness 💀

Oh great idea. I had high hopes for this one! Went through all occurrences of “mode” and “scheduled” in settings.

The only one I have scheduled is “eye comfort”. It doesn’t turn on for another 11.5 hours so I think it’s unlikely.

Nice idea. I checked and (unusually) I’ve nothing in calendar for today. Everything coming up after that is normal looking but the nearest thing is tomorrow afternoon.

Edit: I’m gonna reboot and see if it’s still there. Maybe it’s a bug in the alarm app. Brb.

Edit 2: stupid thing is back again. :/ I rechecked alarms after the reboot in case there was some weird bug where one wasn’t showing and there are still none set.

Thanks, but no. I double checked.

A nice OLED TV. I love watching movies.

Edit: Holy cow OLED is still very expensive. I’ve changed my mind: projector.

I’d say we’d need to make a bunch of biofuels to fill the immediate shortfall to keep tractors moving but as you say we’ve plenty of really good quality land, water, wind. Lots of chemical and medical processing capability once we have the raw ingredients for medicines etc.

Main medium term issue would be mineral and metal mining and processing as we’re short on that but yeah overall think we’d be basically fine.

We use “no bueno” quite a bit in our house. Not sure how it crept in but I like it.

Wow. That’s a good one.

I’ll give my story which is small but had a huge impact on me.

On my honeymoon. It’s myself, my wife and a Chinese dude in a suit on our way to Indonesia on the last leg of the flight in the 3 seats.

We get chatting. Newlyweds, congratulations, yada yada. Back and forth. Lasts a decent amount of time. He laughs because we ask him if he’s Indonesian (we’ve never been there before and Indonesian folks do not look Chinese lol).

Before he goes he gives us his business card and says we can call him 24/7 if we have any emergencies or difficulties of any kind on our trip. It was such a seemingly insignificant gesture but just took a bunch of hidden pressure off that we hadn’t even thought was there.

It left a huge impression on me though we never needed it. Ever since I have liberally given my phone number to folks traveling to Ireland (including a nice chap on Lemmy that I nearly met up with). Nobody has ever called me but I would jump in the car on a moments notice if they did.
