Just a little system tray icon to show support for the LGBTQ+ community.

Originally created last year as a simple one-off project in response to Windows 11 users getting mad about a pride icon appearing on their task bar.

This year I remade it in Go, added support for Windows (7 and up), and improved compatibility with a variety of Linux environments.

Let me know what you think, or don’t, just please be nice about it.

…and as OP just pointed out, it’s an open source project? That’s relevant IMO.

I’m upvoting this post just because I think some of the downvoting is ppl blowing off steam towards LGBT peeps.

Do you consider literally anything under an open source license to be relevant to open source ideology? I’m sure that if I make a folk replacing the flag with nyancat, davel@lemmy.ml won’t come to tell me that I should change the license and make warnings to those who report it, but to delete worthless nonsense.

This is the same thing, and only holds up because lgtb related things generate controversy, either by X-phobes, people like the OP who use us as virtue signaling with low effort content, and of course those who are afraid to point out nonsense for fear of being vilified as X-phobes.

Okay, let’s do this then. Show me where in that imaginary tome of “open source ideology” principles that “worthless nonsense” and “low effort content” are cause for dismissal. Who judges what is worthless and low effort, and on what criteria?

It’s fairly obvious that LGBTQIA+ related subjects are controversial, especially from the stink that you and a few others raise reflexively at the sight of a rainbow flag. Frankly, your opinions and bloviating is more worthless and low effort than an app that does nothing except display a flag in the system tray.

This is the only strawman argument I’ve seen in this thread
