Ah, that’s just overkill.

Pi picos are pretty good for iot projects like that. ESP are more power efficient, but a pi can be more self sufficient. I think it depends on the project.

He’s the second oldest overall, only Jimmy Carter beats him in age.

He’s the oldest living Republican former president.

Personally I think the heartfelt people working there are also being taken advantage of, having their genuine human compassion used to pressure desperate people into the faith.

This is actually the first thing it says on their ‘about us’ page:

Youth in America are in crisis. Millions have lives filled with pain and empty of meaning. Seventy-eight million Americans were born between 1980 and 2000. This is the Millennial Generation. Although 65% of them would claim Christianity if they were filling out a government form, less than 20% have a biblical understanding of Jesus and matters of salvation.

If statistics are true, less than 1 in 5 Millennials have a relationship with Christ that provides forgiveness and the promise of Heaven. This leaves over 60 million who are dying in their sin. This is a huge mission field. One we cannot ignore.

It has been said that the Millennial Generation is the most difficult to reach with the Gospel, but if you know where to reach them…and how, the task becomes much easier.

It seems like they’re more interested in leveraging desperation to convert millennials to their religion than in offering genuine heartfelt support to people in crisis.

For anyone who might be in crisis and is looking for a secular solution, the newly established 988 hotline in the US will offer genuine help without the sales pitch for Jesus.

Are they trying to help the desperate, or take advantage of them?

I think it’s possible that nation states are inherently unstable. An improvement on monarchy, but still vulnerable to oligarchy.

I’m not sure what the future holds, or what comes next, but I suspect that federation will play an important role.

There’s hunter-gatherer tribes that have been more or less stable for over a thousand years. It’s said that the Nez Perce have lived on the Columbia River for 11,500 years.

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.

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

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.

As everyone knows, covid is the only infectious disease facemasks can reduce the spread of. Before covid masks were just decorative.

Pinky and The Brain almost sounds like euphemisms for dick and balls.
