There are currently no democratic politicians worse than trump, so it didn't really need to be specified.

I thought they gave a pretty good rebuttal in regards to the singular 'they'. Just because they mentioned a fallacy in the begging doesn't mean it's an argument from fallacy.

Unless you're talking fruit flies, you actually catch more of those with vinegar. They love the stuff.

People will hate on this, but what other breakfast cereal contains dental X-rays in every crunch?

According to the supreme court they can, as long as breaking the law was an official act.

I don't know exactly what the limits of his powers are, but at the most extreme couldn't he blockade the homes of the conservative justices, preventing them from fulfilling their duties? If any official act is immune, why not go all the way? I guess it could get him impeached, which probably wouldn't be great for November, but it feels like something has got to give at this point, these rulings have been beyond the pale.

Wouldn't the correct move be to immediately prove why such a ruling is asinine? Use official powers to reform the court, new court removes dangerous ruling asap, guard rail repaired.

What were the war crimes in Korea? I would have thought Vietnam would be an easier example. Though admittedly I don't know much about the Korean war.

They said most influential in the past 100 years, the civil war was 160 years ago.

100 years ago everyone had the right to vote (though Jim Crow laws limited voting access in many states for people of color, something that's beginning to be reimplemented to an extent).

I think FDR might have been more influential, but he won in a landslide. Trump got millions fewer votes than his opponent and only won by a couple thousand votes in certain swing states. I think in the past 100 years it was probably the most influential presidential election in the sense that so few votes held so much influence on history.

You can change it to any flag by modifying .config/prideicon/lastselected so the first line is the absolute path to the image you want (png on Linux, ico on Windows).

I considered adding a menu option to open a prompt to select a custom icon, but I wasn't sure how many people would want to use it, so I just left it as a configuration file option for now.

Screenshots are a good idea.

I also added a section to the project readme, thanks for the suggestion.

It uses a makefile, you can just type make while in the pride-system-icon directory.

On Windows you may need to install GNU make first.

You'll need to have Go installed, I've added a vendor directory to make it easier. The compiled files will be placed in dist/windows/prideicon.exe and dist/linux/prideicon

Here are the commands to compile without using make:

go build -mod vendor -tags linux -o prideicon
go build -mod vendor -tags windows -ldflags -H=windowsgui -o prideicon.exe

Thank you!

I just added a feature where you can select whichever icon you want by editing the text file in .config/prideicon/lastselected

Just make it one line of text with the absolute path to the icon (.png on Linux, .ico on Windows) then restart the program.

Glad to hear it!

I'm not sure if your name is a reference to the god of Red Dwarf or the yonic pokemon, but either way, cheers.

Done. Thanks for reminding me.

What if you want it in your system tray?

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.
