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
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.
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.
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.
Ah, that makes sense. I just knew it was unavailable. Apparently .lan
is fine to use, I think I’ll try that next time.
I don’t get why ‘.local’ isn’t a top level domain for LAN hosts.
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.
Love the analogy of visiting Canada as an American to explain how BSD is different from Linux.
If you’re not adjusting for inflation you’re just betting that EV range won’t come down in price faster than inflation. Seems like a bit of a technicality, but I still wouldn’t bet on it myself. I have a feeling 350 miles of range is going to be pretty common in a few years.
Did you read past the headline? They’re restoring add-ons banned by the Russian government, defying Russia.

We’ll have to see what Blinken can do about it. He said he has a high confidence Israel will agree to the deal if Hamas does. I’m interested to see if the US can apply enough pressure to get a ceasefire in place.
Yes, very exciting news. Now we need to make sure Israel keeps their side of the agreement.
I thought this story was interesting. Especially the messages about how the taking of civilian hostages should not have happened. We don’t often get a glimpse into the mind of Hamas leadership like this. It can be hard to know what’s intentional and what’s not. You said the dying isn’t exactly news, which is why I haven’t been posting about that.
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.
