Ah I eventually discovered that it was a scheduled signal message. Cheers though.

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.
- Comment on What is this clock icon in my phone status bar? 19 hours ago:
Thanks. I was about to do this but another comment caused me to check scheduled messages. It was signal.
- Comment on What is this clock icon in my phone status bar? 19 hours ago:
Just updated the comment above yours. It was a scheduled message in signal. Thanks!
- Comment on What is this clock icon in my phone status bar? 19 hours ago:
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.
- Comment on What is this clock icon in my phone status bar? 19 hours ago:
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.
- Comment on What is this clock icon in my phone status bar? 20 hours ago:
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.
- Comment on What is this clock icon in my phone status bar? 20 hours ago:
No. Double checked. No timers either. Rebooted the phone to see if it’s still there and it is.
- Comment on What is this clock icon in my phone status bar? 20 hours ago:
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.
- Comment on What is this clock icon in my phone status bar? 20 hours ago:
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.
- Comment on What is this clock icon in my phone status bar? 21 hours ago:
Great idea. Off to do that and hard kill the app. Will report back.
- Comment on What is this clock icon in my phone status bar? 21 hours ago:

- Comment on What is this clock icon in my phone status bar? 21 hours ago:
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.
- Comment on What is this clock icon in my phone status bar? 21 hours ago:
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.
- Comment on What is this clock icon in my phone status bar? 21 hours ago:
Thanks, but no. I double checked.

No worries :) I appreciate the back and forth.

It’s not though.
The British didn’t cause the famine, they “just” made it worse.
It’s a common misconception but there are a few issues with “didn’t cause the famine” for me:
- Potato blight != famine. There was a potato blight across all of Europe at the time. Ireland still produced more than enough food to feed itself even in 1847, the worst year of the blight. It wasn’t a case of making it worse, they literally wouldn’t have gone hungry at all.
- The only reason Irish peasants were so dependent on a single food crop to feed themselves was because it was what produced the most calories for a given area of land. The British stole the land from the Irish then forced payment at such a high rate from the people they stole it from that it left no choice but to use that single crop to feed themselves. They had to use their remaining non-potato land for higher value cash crops to pay rent on the land that was stolen from them.
- An enormous number of people died from exposure after being fucked off their land and having their homes burned to the ground because they couldn’t afford to pay rent to those landlords.
So the British did cause the actual famine in it’s entirety and the deliberate lack of relief was seen as an act of God / retribution to reduce the population here (which they 100% left to starve, with some kind landlord exceptions).
It’s why the Irish don’t call it “The Famine” any more. It’s “the great hunger” here because there wouldn’t have been a famine at all if we’d just been left the fuck alone to grow a variety of crops instead of being raped and pillaged for hundreds of years.
- Comment on More like a bacterial infection imo 2 weeks ago:
Ah yeah. I’m Irish and I don’t blame modern folks over there for it. I know it was the ruling class but damn where they cold AF. To be fair though there were lots of acts of brutality from British soldiers over the centuries who I have to guess were working class. Well beyond just “following orders”.
We do remember the acts of kindness at the time, especially the Choctaw as I mentioned in another comment. Just goes to show it’s nice to be nice. You will be eventually be forgiven the sins of your ancestors they you do bad things, but you will forever be remembered as kind if your ancestors do nice things.
- Comment on More like a bacterial infection imo 2 weeks ago:
The British didn’t cause the famine, they “just” made it worse.
This is absolutely false. They didn’t cause the potato blight but they absolutely caused the famine by forcing the export of the remaining food stock which was more than enough to feed the population.
We still have not reached pre-famine population levels after 180 years.
- Comment on More like a bacterial infection imo 2 weeks ago:
Hats off to the historical accuracy of this comment chain. Not sure how many of you are Irish but honestly it’s heartening. ❤️
- Comment on More like a bacterial infection imo 2 weeks ago:
We’ve stopped calling it the famine here and now it’s “the great hunger”.
Ireland was producing more than enough to feed itself but the British landlords were forcing the export of non-potatoes and leaving us to die.
The queen at the time politically shamed the Turks into reducing their aid to us because it was lower than hers.
What’s up, Turkey? We haven’t forgotten your generosity.
Massive, massive shout out to our Choctaw brothers and sisters in America who gave what they didn’t have after the trail of tears.
For those not familiar, we have never, ever forgotten that one.

- Comment on We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and Starlink 3 weeks ago:
I am not surprised in the slightest. I mean if you have a bunch of smart, highly motivated people it sounds like keeping the crazy man at arms length is the kind of thing they’d organise very effectively.
- Comment on We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and Starlink 3 weeks ago:
NASA is clearly capable of things given the right circumstances and budget.
Absolutely agree with this but there is no denying the innovation levels at spacex are higher (I’m not saying this is down to musk specifically. The man is a horror story of a human).
We were all in total awe when seeing booster stages land themselves successfully for the first time. It was such a giant leap forward and to the best of my knowledge no government funded space agency was even considering it before spacex.

Love this guy’s channel. It’s one of those calming ones that I watch even though I may have no intention of ever doing what it’s about (retro game corps is the other one where I ogle those beautiful little handhelds then never set up my steam deck for retro stuff properly).
