kidchai@OpenSourceUpdates got the idea and liked it. But just to be correct, here is an Apple logo from the 70s. They don’t change their logo for Pride Month at all. Instead, they release the Pride edition of the Apple Watch and design Pride wallpapers. And they still doing it.
Pierre@kidchai @OpenSourceUpdates nah, they are just saving the big announcement for Monday, it is not just a new UI language, they are going back to the old logo! 
Stemy@OpenSourceUpdates @elementary @kde @gnome @SUSE @vala_lang @GTK The "rainbow" apple logo is older than the pride flag itself, and the colors are not even the same.
Also, raspberry pi is not an open source project.
vurpo 🏳️⚧️@OpenSourceUpdates Not forgetting what raspberry pi did
mat@baalroga They hired a cop and were proud of it on their mastodon, and when people disapproved or criticised them for it, their account went off the rails and eventually blocked everyone who said anything
@baalroga after it was all over, we got the famous quote "That crowd is not law enforcement friendly" from them

purple despairs@vurpo @baalroga I'm not sure the ex-cop bit was even entirely the problem, some people would probably always have been put off by it but I suspect in-and-of-itself most people wouldn't have cared much.
The issue came that their ‘maker background’ wasn't ‘weather stations are cool’ or such, it was ‘well my last job, as a cop, was to make wildly unethical and possibly actually illegal devices and rpi was handy for that’ …and like, rpi thought this was somehow good.
Dźwiedziu@vurpo
I'll add up to that a little bit. Lately wanted to by am second-hand RPi to not support them directly and because of the ecosystem.
Seems that each time I'm looking around the prices are higher than retail and I'm each time shelving a potential project, as I don't want to solve this moral triangle.
Max von Webel@OpenSourceUpdates @isotopp @elementary @raspberrypi @kde @gnome @SUSE @vala_lang @GTK The 2024 Apple clearly isn’t a 2024 pride Apple but the classic Apple logo before 1997.
Jacket@343max @OpenSourceUpdates @isotopp @elementary @kde @gnome @SUSE @vala_lang @GTK I think it's not the exact same color.

@OpenSourceUpdates real support doesn't hire surveillance cops and boast about it on mastodon (looking at you, raspberry)
Mer, the sacrifice@OpenSourceUpdates @elementary @raspberrypi @kde @gnome @SUSE @vala_lang @GTK
I have said it for years.
Since companies showing support for the LGBT community has been a thing, I always strongly believed that companies only did it to secure that part of the market share.
It's something I would've never dared to say on Mastodon because I would get called all sorts of names, "Nazi" among other things.
But when will you get it, companies are not your friend, they will ditch you when it suits them

I might not be part of the LGBT community myself, but I don't hate you guys.
IRL, when I said that fact, it was to side with you, not with them.
Don't believe that these companies actually care about your beliefs, because they don't. They care about your money, and they will gladly make you think that they care if they can get a new loyal customer.

Oh, and last thing, I'll drop that here because might as well, you can hate me for saying it, but they do the same with race.
If you live in the west, Europe specifically, you live in a majority white country obviously, but have you noticed the ads? Often, ads have a population that is 50/50 or 70/30 white/black. That doesn't represent at all the targeted population.
Guess what's the reason for that too? Yes, money.

By using open source / community driven software, you're WAY more likely to come across a genuine celebration of pride month.
These are celebrated by the project with a community mindset, because it is celebrated by people who actually are part of the LGBT community, care about it, believe in it.
And the picture you shared, it is a perfect show case of that. The community stayed loyal while for profits did not.

aceryz@OpenSourceUpdates There's a big difference between rainbow-washing and support. Most companies do the former.
🟢🐰Hase Caesar🐇🟢@OpenSourceUpdates @elementary @raspberrypi @kde @gnome @SUSE @vala_lang @GTK The Apple Logo isn’t from 2024 (it’s the old Logo until the ’90s) and it never had any pride context.
But Apple is one of the last big tech companies, that still supports DEI and Apple has a long and strong history in supporting the LGBTQ community.
Go, fight your stupid brand war elsewhere!
Flesh@OpenSourceUpdates @elementary @raspberrypi@threads.net @kde @gnome @SUSE @vala_lang @GTK The core difference being that a lot of the mentioned projects are full of queers that get to influence decisions.
@flesh @gnome @kde @elementary @GTK @SUSE @vala_lang @OpenSourceUpdates absolutely this
And its best if the project isnt owned by a cishet techbro
@OpenSourceUpdates It Warms My Heart Knowing What True Support And Actual Friends are
Feike 🇪🇺🇳🇱@OpenSourceUpdates @elementary @raspberrypi @kde @gnome @SUSE @vala_lang @GTK @fedora the Apple logo was always a rainbow.
Ilka@OpenSourceUpdates @elementary @raspberrypi @kde @gnome @SUSE @vala_lang @GTK @fedora can't buy the USAmerican boot licking spineless group/ products.
Pietro di Caprio@OpenSourceUpdates real support is everyday with actions, not one month per year with a logo on social media
@OpenSourceUpdates real support is not making differences. Real support is not seeing with different eyes.
Highlithing that you note the person in front of you is non-binary is a form of non supporting, non respect, since you are actually making a difference in your behavior.
@pietrodc0 I fully agree that real support is about actions every day. But visible symbols also matter, especially when LGBTQ+ people are still being marginalized, erased, or attacked. A Pride logo doesn’t replace action - it complements it. Silence, on the other hand, speaks volumes.
