MODERATORS
I didn't hear about it, but the usual thing is that people get annoyed if you add unsolicited useless icons in the taskbar, especially if you do it with motivations related to politics or ideology.
If anyone is naive enough to think this is going to support us in any way, I encourage you to just do something like change the wallpaper, and never run random executables, ever. Or, you know, you can also do something that has SOME impact.
People in the Linux community were just having a laugh at Windows users who were unable to remove an icon, then some people were saying how they actually wanted a pride icon on their panel, so 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 I decided to polish up the project and share it again. I'm not expecting it to change the world, I just thought some people out there might enjoy it.
EDIT: it's not a random executable, the source code is right there, you can compile it yourself if you like.
