It’s free and it’s open source software. It can be discussed here.

Some software is more about looking nice than serving a utility.

I learned a lot about the system tray writing it. I think it stands as a decent example for how to add an icon to the system tray.

Nobody needs it, but some people like it.

Last year Windows added a pride icon to the taskbar of some Windows 11 users, and people in the Linux community were having a laugh over the angry reactions, but some Linux-enjoyers mentioned that they’d actually like the option of adding a pride icon. I wrote a simple python script and shared it.

Over the past year multiple people have said they liked the little icon in my system tray, so this year I decided to spruce up the project and make it compatible with Windows. It’s just a silly little aesthetic option for anyone who wants it.

I wasn’t sure where to post it. It looked like this community had a decent number of posts showing off open source projects, so I figured it would fit in.

It seemed like other people were sharing their open source projects here. If it’s against the rules I can post it somewhere else.

People in the Linux community were just having a laugh at Windows users who were unable to remove an icon, then some people were saying how they actually wanted a pride icon on their panel, so I wrote a simple python script and shared it.

Over the past year multiple people have said they liked the little icon in my system tray, so I decided to polish up the project and share it again. I’m not expecting it to change the world, I just thought some people out there might enjoy it.

EDIT: it’s not a random executable, the source code is right there, you can compile it yourself if you like.

It’s an open source project.

You’re free to pick whichever one you prefer.

Fair enough, but the backlash from 8 years was already beyond the pale.

What are you talking about? In 2023, solar power alone generated 1.63 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity. Twice as much as was generated by coal, and more than half as much as was generated by nuclear. Solar plus wind out performed nuclear by hundreds of gigawatts.

The only thing holding back renewable power is grid level energy storage, and that’s evolving rapidly.

I am pro term limits, but you’re kinda making a good counter point. Eight more years of Obama instead of Trump and Biden… Doesn’t seem that bad. The conservatives went ballistic anyway, at least we’d have reproductive rights and better healthcare. I’m certain Obama would have been a lot better at managing COVID and the BLM protests. He was pro ceasefire in Gaza way before Biden too. Idk, for all his flaws, Obama seems better than what we got in his place.

Before FDR it was just a tradition, started by George Washington. Personally I think FDR deserves a pass, he got us out of the great depression and through WW2, it would have been hard to have a leadership change in the midst of that turmoil.

If so few people want to leave, why are so many resources directed into preventing people from leaving? I can’t think of any other country that works so hard to keep their citizens from escaping. Usually the largest barrier to leaving a country is the policies of the country you’re entering.

About 18% of North Korean defectors regret it.

The number one reason is wanting to see family and friends who are still trapped in North Korea.

Awesome! Thanks, I didn’t know that.

Solid red? Last election Biden would have won Texas if 3% of non-biden voters switched to him.

Chipotle is a publicly traded company.

By France not supplying AC to all the teams, it makes it so the competition does include heat tolerance, but only for nations that can’t afford to bring their own cool air.

That makes sense. Though it’s not unheard of for breakthroughs in battery chemistry to lead to increased energy density, which would increase range without increasing weight.

Pinky and The Brain almost sounds like euphemisms for dick and balls.
