These days I'm playing a bit with an experiment started some years ago: #McCLIM running directly on the Linux DRM stack without #X11 or #wayland."
Reasons we fly a pride flag:

Leaving the house this morning, there was a kid, maybe grade 5, no rain gear, sitting on our front step.

I was obviously a little startled

Me: uhm...hi? Can I help you?

Kid: oh! No, I'm just taking a break my mom told me that if I ever need to ask an adult for help I should look for a house with a rainbow flag because that means it's safe. I don't need help, just a dry spot for calling my friend to bring my rain coat.

And then his friend rocked up with his coat and off they went.
