Pride System Icon (gitlab.com)
submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) by absentbird@lemm.ee to c/opensource@lemmy.ml
 

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.

Mate. You're the one who says this open source app isn't relevant to a community discussing open source software. The burden of proof is on you to prove its not relevant. If anything this project is as core to open source as it gets. This person wanted to explore a part of their computer system, picked a target for how to make something happen, did it, and then shared it.

Concluding that you're a homophobe isn't based on ad hominem attacks or straw man arguments. Its based on that you have NOTHING substantial to say that this doesn't belong so the rest of us have to figure out what the hangup is and the only thing we can figure out is that its controversial because its about LGBTQIA+ pride and you don't like that. We'd love to reach a different conclusion but you haven't given us a lot to work with
