Pride System Icon (gitlab.com)

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.

Here is a review of a device that should be open source, it's not yet but probably will be in the future.

I have an RTL-SDR v4, and a Raspberry Pi. I am wondering if there is some way to get the ease of use that comes with the flipper zero with the pi. This is ignoring the packaging, and how small the flipper is. And also ignoring the replaying of signals, as additional hardware would be needed.

I'm looking for something that I can scan hand-written notes into and have OCR'd. Maybe one that I can even train on my handwriting. Ideally I end up with a searchable PDF of my notes.

People use one-note for this, but I'm not really comfortable with letting microsoft see my handwriting.

I'd like to compress my videos without using the terminal, what is the best GUI today that can do this?

Is this kind of program popular on linux? I know that ffmpeg is very popular on the terminal

Chromium... I'm so getting downvoted with this one.

Anyways,

I have an old Android 6 phone that is still not completely unusable and my older family members want to use it as a backup phone (in fact, they already do). They can't live without Facebook (obviously) so I installed Firefox on it and made a PWA for Facebook. It works surprisingly well but Firefox itself is quite sluggish and slow to open on that piece of hardware. So I'm thinking of installng a Chromium browser on it, as well as on my other old devices to make them run a bit better and just out of my extremely unhealthy curiosity.

But the problem is they all do not support modern arm64 apps that most Android phones use nowadays. Instead they need this other type called armeabi-v7a. There were Chromium based browsers that had a v7a version (Bromite for example) but they all suspiciously died at the same time more than a year ago. Does Chromium really not support the old architecture (or whatever it is) anymore or I'm just not searching well enough?

P. S. Advices to buy a newer device will not be accepted and will be treated with appropriate level of hostility.

Can I have some help regarding using yt-dlp.

  1. How to select a specific duration of video to be downloaded like from 00 to 600 seconds in video of 8 hours.
  2. When downloading songs from youtube with metadata and thumbnail I get thumbnails in rectangular shape instead of square. How to turn them square?

Asking it here cause, Discussion on repository is closed and it is FOSS software.

If I decide to self-publish a book what happens to the copyright? Is there a way to prevent others from claiming copyrights for a book published autonomously? Are there OS licenses specifically tuned for books?
