MODERATORS
Okay, let's do this then. Show me where in that imaginary tome of "open source ideology" principles that "worthless nonsense" and "low effort content" are cause for dismissal. Who judges what is worthless and low effort, and on what criteria?
It's fairly obvious that LGBTQIA+ related subjects are controversial, especially from the stink that you and a few others raise reflexively at the sight of a rainbow flag. Frankly, your opinions and bloviating is more worthless and low effort than an app that does nothing except display a flag in the system tray.
Aha, that's what I meant by vilifying. Just bullshit, ad hominems and straw men. Pathetic.
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
