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 :)

How to remove this icon from the status bar? Xperia 1 VI, Android 14 (reddthat.com)

I switched phones recently, and am very satisfied with my Xperia, but there's this one useless icon in the taskbar that annoys me a bit and that is like to hide, but I can't identify it, could someone help?

I tried SystemUI tuner, but it doesn't list it as one you can blacklist in the list of toggles, and I don't know how to find it's key to add it as a custom one. Tried turning off calendar notifications, but that's not it - it still shows. Does anyone know what it is and how to hide it? It's a minor annoyance to be sure, but it's completely useless, and I'd like it gone if possible. Thanks in advance for any help!

Right, but you have to boot into Windows first to even get the update in the first place...

So, no booting into Windows until this is fixed then? Fine by me. Hell, might actually make me uninstall it completely and free some disk space...

Why were Republicans freaking out over a drag performance at the Olympics? by doctortofu in c/politics@lemmy.world

The article didn't really provide an answer, so let me try: because their whole worldview is based on actively seeking things to be freaked out, offended and enraged by, and constantly playing the victim?

Record labels sue Verizon for not disconnecting pirates’ Internet service by doctortofu in c/technology@lemmy.world

Next step: sue the power companies for providing electricity to the bad, nasty pirates, their landlords for allowing the egregious acts of piracy on their property, and their mothers for not raising them right... /facepalm

Home routing and encryption technologies are making lawful interception harder, Europol warns by doctortofu in c/technology@lemmy.world

Warning: non-transparent walls, window blinds and door locks prevent lawful interception and surveillance - how are the authorities supposed to know you're not doing something naughty in there?

The wildest part is that he's surprised that Mastodon peeps would react negatively to their posts being scrapped without consent or even notification and fed into an AI model. Like, are you for real dude? Have you spent more than 4 seconds on Mastodon and noticed their (our?) general attitude towards AI? Come the hell on...

Colorado Republicans tell parents to take kids out of school over fears they ‘turn more kids trans’ by doctortofu in c/nottheonion@lemmy.world

If teachers could brainwash kids to the point of changing their sexual orientation, wouldn't all schoolchildren become well-read, polite and clean well before they turn trans or gay?

"Twy Edge Pwetty Pwease" by doctortofu in c/curatedtumblr@sh.itjust.works

Separately from that, it drives me mad how warped the idea of "consent" is in Windows (and in tech in general). "Later" is not the opposite of "Yes" goddammit!

Imagine sexual consent was similarly warped: Hey Becky, you wanna have sex? You can only answer "Yes, right now!" or "Maybe later," and I'll keep asking you FOREVER. So, what will it be?

The phrase "free speech platform" sounds like a giant, enormous dog whistle. Which is a damn shame, because I used to enjoy that place, and now I'm not sure I will anymore... Don't want to jump to conclusions, but is there ANY self-described "bastion of free speech on the internet" that is not a cesspool full of awful people? Just one?

I'm a white, heterosexual cis male in my 40s not living in the US, so this does not affect me in any way, shape or form directly, but it still feels just icky, unnecessary and tone-deaf. Guess I'll post photos of my succulents and my goofy dog just on Lemmy from now on, bummer...
