    you don’t have to use it.

    On windows, “its optional” means somthing diffrent than on linux.

    On linux a feature like this is just a command or a toggle switch in the settings.

    Its admittedly a neat concept, I use OBS for this verry reason, to capture moments where I didnt think to press “record” beforehand. An (unprivlaged, no internet access) userland foreground app with “start/stop/delete past hour” buttons. All from the easy to understand from a glance taskbar icon.

    Sadly, we only got a few of these safety features later on because like software, people will also refuse to buy a car without seatbelts or working breaks.

    People are saying “no!” now so they dont have to say no later when its much harder to say no (when its in your home, on your pc). Microsoft plugs their ears when their customers say “it’s unsafe” and “no means no” because they want you to partake in this transaction with them reguardless of if you do.

    its a neat mod of the Daniel Quasar intersex inclusive gay pride flag.

    • What Im going to call Reading Order got changed. Trans and Gay pride switched places.
    • The gay pride in the triangle part asthetically looks better as its a gradiant from the pole to the triangle tip
    • asexual ring has dark outline now 😎.
    • No compramises on the Trans flag (yes, the original bugs me a lot)
    • the 2 POC stripes get “just after Gay pride” in the reading order and placed directly next to gay pride stripes. (I find it less aquard than it clashing against the pastels of the trans flag)

    The Reading Order for both original and redesign is the flag equivlant of saying “we are Foo, we also made up of Bar people, also Baz people, also Qux, also …”. Because the way we designed it, Reading Order effects the message being sent.

    Like someone else here said, treat it as an LGBIA+ inclusive queer and trans flag. Its how we got the trans inclusive gay pride flag but in reverse. Pairing the flags together, (mabe alternating between them on lamp posts) may be confusing but asthetically pleasing and sends a pretty message.

    rant: Im a little scared to make this "the default (normie) flag"

    because I have an ideological bias tward liking this flag. both flags are a “Im representing myself first, shoutout to my homies and allys on the other side of the queer coin”, that is fine on its own. However, either flag should not be the “default, genaral queer reperesentation, those deep and surface level alike will recognise instantly as its primary symbol” flag. It needs to be a new thing altogether. It gives too mush priority to one side, the posability of people being prissy and distroying the meaning of these flags by inspiring division in such a loving space makes me queezy. We have accedentially done this already to some digree. I have seen online and even at times felt the sentimate “LGB, forgot the T”. (from web search, unreviewed) before.

    If we only allow ourselves only these style of flags, there is a trolly problem of, “we could do nothing and keep the flag as a ‘gay pride (sexuality) but all of queer identity if you squint’ flag or pull the lever and make it a ‘trans pride (gender identity) but all of queer identity if you squint’ flag.”
