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.

Okay, but swinging at third party people does nothing to sway them, tends to do the opposite, and tires you out. It’s like punching your own dick instead of your opponent in a boxing match.

Please don’t

Fair enough, but the backlash from 8 years was already beyond the pale.

What are you talking about? In 2023, solar power alone generated 1.63 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity. Twice as much as was generated by coal, and more than half as much as was generated by nuclear. Solar plus wind out performed nuclear by hundreds of gigawatts.

The only thing holding back renewable power is grid level energy storage, and that’s evolving rapidly.

I am pro term limits, but you’re kinda making a good counter point. Eight more years of Obama instead of Trump and Biden… Doesn’t seem that bad. The conservatives went ballistic anyway, at least we’d have reproductive rights and better healthcare. I’m certain Obama would have been a lot better at managing COVID and the BLM protests. He was pro ceasefire in Gaza way before Biden too. Idk, for all his flaws, Obama seems better than what we got in his place.

Before FDR it was just a tradition, started by George Washington. Personally I think FDR deserves a pass, he got us out of the great depression and through WW2, it would have been hard to have a leadership change in the midst of that turmoil.

Awesome! Thanks, I didn’t know that.

Solid red? Last election Biden would have won Texas if 3% of non-biden voters switched to him.

Chipotle is a publicly traded company.

Very well put. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the great work!

I think the UK still uses pounds for money. Pizza is one of those weird things that is frequently measured in inches even in otherwise metric nations.

By France not supplying AC to all the teams, it makes it so the competition does include heat tolerance, but only for nations that can’t afford to bring their own cool air.

There’s an Al Jazeera documentary with a video of water pipes being used to make rockets: https://www.memri.org/tv/jazeera-documentary-hamas-missile-industry-iran-sends-kornet-fajr-missiles-to-gaza-reclaims-munitions

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

What’s the alternative, just leave it empty?

I would think it could also be acceptable to transfer ownership to a relative who doesn’t already own a home. It just seems like a waste to have a house with nobody living in it while so many people are unhoused.

It’s not just another cost of doing business though, it’s specifically a cost of not doing business.

So imagine someone has been buying up homes to rent them. Market rate for rent is $1000 and they own 1000 units (just to make the math easy). That means they would profit $1 million every month with every unit filled, and lose $1 million every month for leaving every unit empty.

Now imagine they have half the units filled, so they are getting $0 each month. They could try and raise the rent over market rate to cover the cost, but that would make it harder to fill the empty units and encourage their tenants to leave. If they lower the rent a bit though, they could fill the empty units and erase the cost entirely. Now imagine every landlord is in this dilemma; it puts the pressure onto them to appeal to prospective tenants. They could even increase profit by housing people for free, just filling units with the homeless to reduce costs.

If they don’t change behavior and just eat the cost, then that’s more money for the state to invest in housing programs.

Ah, that makes sense. I just knew it was unavailable. Apparently .lan is fine to use, I think I’ll try that next time.
